Reviving this topic only because it took me this long to finally make a push to lose some fucking LBS...in Nov 2023 I was 195 and I've never seen my scale hit 200 so I needed to sort out my shit. Weighted in this AM at a cool 164. If I can somehow get into the 150's I'll be shocked but I'm just going to keep running with what I'm doing and see how low it goes now. I didn't film a part for my 50th so now that I'm headed for 52 in a couple months I guess I'll do it while I'm slim.
Simple strategy for me- haven't had fast food at all since Nov, that's a big one. Bringing grapes, apples (with a jar of peanut butter on my desk), oranges etc to work instead of snacking really helps. I go through a bag of grapes in like 3 days but it keeps me from other stuff. Lowered my dinner intake to a mellow amount and only get dessert on the weekends.
Have done an intense 20-25 min workout every morning since Nov too. 20 min is so easy to squeeze in, I used to look at my cell-phone for like 45 min when I woke up (text threads, DM's, Insta etc). Now I get 15 min then I have to get up and workout, simple as that.
