Weightloss

Have you tried the Keto diet? I have an autoimmune disorder and it is the only thing that has helped me lose weight.

I started out at 248 pounds & I am now at 195 (was at 188 at the time of my wedding). I started with keto than went to intermittent fastings. I need to get back on keto!

Good for you for being proactive about your health. I’ve heard wonder things about keto, the lifestyle app Noom and honestly a number of different resources. It’s all about finding something you can stick with. Do you have health insurance? If so I recommend signing onto your plan’s website and doing a search for nutritionists who are covered or partially covered for a visit or two. They’ll be able to help you figure out if a CICO type plan or something more like keto is suited to you and your habits.

Check out pinterest for keto ideas for dinner and snacks. I have been changing up how we eat and have lost a little weight since cutting down on carbs.

Weight Watchers and exercise

If you are thinking about keto, please talk to your doctor first. It can cause a lot of long term health issues, especially with certain pre-existing conditions.


Weight loss is a mathematical equation of calories in vs. calories out. You want to create a calorie deficit by 1. Decreasing calorie intake and 2. Exercise. According to most research, sustainable weight loss will typically be in association of building healthy habits in eating and moving (Noom and Weight Watchers both base their programs around this).

Talk to your doctor. It took your 4 years to gain the weight, it may take you 4 years to lose it if you are being healthy. Consult a nutritionist and begin long walks or jogs until you get an appropriate workout plan. Be patient. Your FH asked you to marry you the way you are now. Your health is most important.

Check out the fitness app. Short workouts, and you can pick ones that fit your abilities!

Thank you so much everyone! I appreciate all the advice. Also, thank you for your kindness!

I love intermittent fasting because I can still eat pretty much whatever I want for dinner. Its also not as hard to follow or as hard on your body as going carbless. Also, I hate exercising as I am always pooped after working and taking care of the kids, so I just go for a brisk walk for 30 minutes!

Have you tried the Apple Cider Vinegar ? After the recommendation by Goli Nutrition I started out at 248 pounds & I am now at 195 and it is the only thing that has helped me lose weight.

Weight watchers worked wonders for me. I only have the app, and it's plenty. The point system is very easy, because you don't have to count calories or macros, it's all already counted into the points. And you can eat pretty much anything, but it really taught me healthy eating habits when I saw how many points some of my favourite snacks would cost me. And the recipes in the app are really tasty.
Don't do Keto or any "fab diets", you can ruin your health that way and the weight loss won't last.
