Hi, Doggiewalker , welcome.

Are you continuing to lose weight, or are you thinking about changing your methodology?

How have you lost weight?

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:

Hi

It was a number of things mainly calorie counting fasting and having diet breaks for example being on holiday I don’t snack and basically don’t eat sugar portion size has been the main game changer. I just kept mixing things up

[S11m in reply to Doggiewalker]

Fasting and "not snacking" help - but a counted calorie is no less fattening than any other calorie?

[Doggiewalker in reply to S11m]

It worked for me it educated me and made me more aware what calories are in food I don’t count now

Hi Doggiewalker, welcome to this amazing forum. I'm still new here,I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way round. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads.

Have a good read of the newbie pack and follow every thread.

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a weekly weigh in.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating,from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around. xx🎅🎄
