Very happy and dropped two clothing sizes. Going to try to drop another size or two. I have decided to be a little too little than a little too big.
Using low to moderate calorie high protein, moderate fate low carb diet.
Your diet tips always welcome.
The best exercise for you is the one that you will do.
The real deal is to cut the carbs out of your diet. at approximately 50 grams of carbs a day, your body will switch over to burning fats instead of carbs.
You will have to substitute adding fats to your diet to keep your weight up.
You also get to go off your diabetes and blood pressure and orchestral Meds.
It worked for me...
well, well....... congratulations on your satisfactory efforts
direction from here, today?
if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I think I found it.

I've dropped 9 lbs. so far and need to drop another 10 to get to 175.
Hitting the gym nearly every day as well.
Surprisingly, eating nothing but plants, seeds, and nuts is definitely not as bad as I had thought it would be.
And yep, it's quite a departure for me to go from the ubiquitous pizza, beer, burgers, and breakfast sandwiches.
My wife is a wellness coach, and she has what she calls her “Bumper Sticker” diet: Moderation — Lean Protein — Fresh Vegetables...
Omit all flour(bread), pasta, sugar. She says almost anyone following this will lose weight.
I ate at Chipotle and lost 35 pounds over the next two weeks as I sat on the can and Chipotled my guts out.
33 lbs? What did you do? Take a bath?
Low carb higher fat and daily 2 mile walk for me. I feel great and am down about 45lb. I just added the walking a few weeks ago.
I want to get back to my original weight: 7lbs, 12 Oz. Just kidding. Lost 70 lbs ten years ago on Atkins. Gained most of it back. I’m a carb-a-holic. Best wishes to you!
Congratulations!
:-)

Been on a doctor-enforced diet since June. He also put me on Adipex. Cut out all the carbs (except for beer, ‘natch) - no breads, rice, potatoes, none of it. I scrutinize the labels of everything I do and used to buy, and man, was I packing in the carbs. Switched over to a diet high in protein. Lots of lean meat, fish, and fresh veggies. I don’t miss the carbs because of how the diet ties to serious health issues - I’ve become a medical jigsaw puzzle. I’ve dropped about 19 pounds so far. To give you an idea, just about 8 or 9 years ago I was wearing a size 36. As of late last year, I was wearing a size 44. I lost a little on my own and got down to a 42. Now I’m close to getting into size 40.
I lost over 200 pounds... then my mother-in-law came back.
(Kidding!)
Try using Stevia sweetner a natural plant. Cook with it and sweeten green tea with it. Avoid processed sugar and artificial sweeteners.
Dieting doesn’t work in the long-term, unfortunately, and causes negative changes in metabolism and leptin levels:
(But congrats to you anyway!)
Dieting is pretty simple, maybe not so easy.
You can eat any food you like (in small enough quantities), as long as you are hungry 100% of the time, you are doing it right. You should be slightly hungry even after a meal.
To make it a little easier, try small meals or snacks every so often, as long as you are always hungry. Exercise helps, but is not essential or even important, but it does increase the amount you can eat while remaining hungry.
I’ve lost about 20 lb with this regime and now I’m 170 lb at 6’0” tall. I could lose more, but 170 lb is my target for now. The lower you go, the more hunger you must endure, it gets harder & harder.
BKMK fer later . . . . hon, break me off a piece of dat Kit-Kat bar !
I lost 135 pounds without dieting and no exercising. I was in a coma for a month - i don’t recommend the ‘coma diet’. However, by the grace of God, I am back to my normal weight and healthier than ever. As Maxwell Smart said “missed the death train by that much.” My advice is to always consult your Doctor, before, during and after any diet.
