Keeping weight loss off
« on: August 02, 2016, 10:34:21 am »
I seem to be struggling more with keeping weight loss off than actually loosing it. I have been trying to eat healthier and make changes in my lifestyle. It's not always easy, but it is well worth it for my health.

Haven't been worrying about my weight, since I have a fast metabolism.. Didn't exercise when I was in high school, but now I get more exercise in regards to cardio and weight lifting... Completely skipped out on fast foods and limit my soda consumption.. Haven't gained any pounds from it, but at least I feel healthier

In High school I heard from athletes that they replace hunger with water... I guess it mainly stops appetite and let the body burn up the water.. Water helps the body metabolize stored fat or something.. Hopefully not to much water, since it could dilute your blood

I think it comes somewhat easy with eating right and at least a little exercise.  The easy part being the plan.  Maybe not so easy to follow through with.  I find the key is that different people think they are eating healthy and they are eating completely differently.  If eating truly healthy, I believe this would be pretty easy for you to do.

I too am currently struggling to lose weight. Obviously, when I was younger, it was easier to keep the weight off. As I age, however, I have to work exponentially harder to lose the weight. It is a very frustrating experience, indeed.

I feel your pain and I am back at it again 4 years later with my life style change! This time I will stick to it! I have to do this for myself. I'm not getting any younger and it will get harder with age but week 2 and I already feel better! :D You got this!

Thanks. Yeah sometimes the first part is the hardest, but it always seems like it is a constant struggle. I'm getting better about it and healthier.

I hope to have your motivation. I recently gained an additional 10 pounds while on vacation. I am trying to lose that, in addition to the other 20 pounds I gained over the years. Ugh!

I think more people finding losing weight easier than maintaining a stable weight. It's easy to cut back and exercise more but when you start eating more and possibly moving less it's easy to overeat to start gaining again

I struggle too, I've been incorporating healthier swaps, green tea, and regular short work outs.  I'm still eating foods I know I shouldn't, but I eat healthy foods too.

Thyroid conditions certainly make it harder to maintain a healthy weight, I hope your meds work too.  Just continue to live a healthy lifestyle- weight loss is only one of the benefits :)
