It took me 2 years to lose 40lbs, but it was the easiest 40 pounds I’ve ever lost and it’s has stayed off effortlessly. I did it with subtle lifestyle changes. Nothing drastic at once, just small changes that combined to big results. Last year I added more exercise and only lost another 11 pounds, but 6 inches off my waist. I’ve accepted that if I’m going to do this, it’s going to be a gradual process. I won’t be the person to drop 100 pounds in a year, but for the first time in my life, the weight I’m dropping is staying off.

Hello from a ‘naturally thin’ person. I definitely benefit from ‘thin privilege’ and I am absolutely not complaining about not having to consider every piece of food I put in my mouth. There are some downsides, I promise. Whenever I get sick, I become very weak, because I don’t have any reserves. I often feel cold and I probably bruise easier than others. Also, everyone comments on my weight and gives unsolicited advice regarding food. People are constantly on a mission to make me gain weight. Jen, you are such a powerhouse of a woman. I love listening to you talk. I nod along to so much of what you say. Great work with getting back on track xx

Tips might sound crazy but walmart's keto buns are only 50 cals each. Also frozen fries are surprisingly low calorie. If you are traveling and you are getting something fast mcdonalds kids meal 6 piece is 505 if you get both fries less if you keep the apples. Popeyes blacken tenders you can get a 5 piece and small mashed potato are less than 600 cals. Idk if that would help at all but it's something to fall back on if you get in a jam

20 lb is awesome! Up until about 13 or 14 years ago I didn't have to think about my weight. I had them slim on my life. Which I think is the reason why I'm having such a hard time losing weight. When I was slim if I gained a couple of pounds it would drop off before I new it. With no effort at all. But since having children, not knowing about nutrition, and becoming less physically active the weight started to pack on and I've been struggling ever since. I think because I had never had this issue before I haven't buckle down and stick to any kind of weight loss regimen. I will do a little of something but not completely. But in the past couple of days I have really started to take it seriously. I really need to lose this weight. I am almost 50 and I have young children. I have also recently started to have some health issues. So I can't continue on the way I have been doing things. But I just wanted to say congratulations! Because losing 20 lb is not an easy thing to do for a lot of people. But your hard work and dedication has been paying off no matter how much time it has taken.

Congrats on your journey so far. This weight loss thing is very hard. I started taking it very seriously right around the same time you did and I finally just hit 20 pounds as well. The biggest thing I am focusing on is the fact that I am not gaining weight on this journey. I’m thankful that the times I’m not losing I just kind of stay the same. But there’s a lot of big non-scale victories that I have had. And I’m trying to learn to celebrate those more than what the scale says. I’m loving all of your meal ideas. It helps when I get stuck in a rut.

When traveling order off the appetizers or kids menu. The smaller portions help with not over eating and not eating out of the guilt of wasting food because you can’t bring it home. Get a booty band or some kind of resistance band to pack in you’re suitcase. You can do a squats, abs and upper body sets in 15-20 minutes. It’s better than nothing for a whole week right!

Pro tip: I used to travel 20 days a month. First thing I did when I got to my location: grocery store. Breakfast: granola, and rice milk. Lunch: turkey, swiss and some whole grain bread, with relish as a condiment. Make the sandwich to take with you from your hotel room . Used to love the "sandwich thins" but I think those have gone the way of all good things. Dinner was usually with co-workers, but focused on lean protein and veggies: salmon, broccolini, maybe an adult beverage or two. Just keep it simple. You can do this! We're proud of you!

Please let me know if I am thinking the right way on the fruit vs veggies. I know they are good for us, I enjoy my fruits but I have heard that your getting the good sugars.
