I went from 310lbs to a consistent 180-185. Mainly from adding a lot of exercise, zero sugar, went vegan, cut processed food, and counted calories strictly. I gained some back (not nearly what it was) when COVID hit as depression set in too but trying to lose again. Self-discipline and consistency is what I feel was my biggest tool then and I'm trying to keep that back now.

A person can have the best nutrition and exercise regiment available to them,yet without self discipline and consistency along with dedication and focus they'll never reach their fitness goals. I've seen this more and more in this age of instant gratification.

Kettlebells are shredding me up in ways that have made working out exciting again. Like that feeling I had when I first started bench pressing 20+ yrs ago. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've been implementing turkish get ups and single leg RDL, both with kettlebell. I feel as if it really has made me more stable during the squat and better positioning in the deadlift ever since I started doing more kettlebell accessories. I think next training block I will switch to KB swings and KB Overhead press and see how that translates over.

Question, how do you eat vegan and not eat processed foods? Isn't the majority of vegan food heavily processed?

One trick my SIL used, and she has kept off 50+lbs for over 2 years: COVID loss of taste

Once target weight has been achieved, does the patient continue with the medication indefinitely? Or can the dosage be reduced or eliminated?

Been eating a lot better and smaller meals. Cooking everything and not buying any processed food. Also taking a weekly 7.5ml Mounjaro shot which has been helping a lot. Have lost over 25lbs in 3 months.

You can stop. No need to stay on, just add exercise and/or eat within moderation.

I have seen people shed massive amounts of weight within a couple months.

Thanks, interesting. Didn’t know if the meds were a lifelong prescription in order to maintain weight.

Does it mean lifestyle changes are required to keep weight off if meds are stopped?

Of course - that is applicable in any case. If you have unhealthy over indulgent habits there is no silver bullet known to man that can counteract such behavior.

If you want to be healthy that would require healthy habits.

Type 2 diabetic on Trulicity. It helps control how much you eat but doesn't stop you from eating the wrong things. Bottom line after many years of trying different ways of eating: KETO is the only thing that lets me control my weight and my A1C. And man, do I love love love pastries! Had to give them up.

Eat more move more. Fiber, protein, walking, weights, and sprints if your a real badass. But do not jog.

As I'm sure it has been mentioned in this thread:

The surefire and proven method to lose weight is:
1. A reduction in calorie intake.
2. Burning calories through exercise. Cardio and Weight Training.

Albeit, it is MUCH easier said than done. Especially as you age, take it from me.

Here's one of my favorite fitness YouTubers. Short and sweet.

Cannot be said enough. People say that abs are made in the kitchen, but actually your entire physique is made there. Don't look at it as a diet, diets end. It's all about lifestyle choices.

The hardest part about going to the gym is actually going. Once I'm there, it's game on.

Late 30s, 4 slipped discs and an annular tear but with consistency and despite some setbacks I've managed to cut my bodyfat by 10% and I'm stronger than I've ever been in my 20s working in the trades.

Well said my friend. I'm 53. I remember 10yrs ago tearing my rotator cuff in my dominant right arm plus arthritis build up from years of lifting. Then electing not to have surgery. I was instructed not to lift weights by my sports doctor and PCP for at least 9 months if i wanted to heal and recover properly. During that time, I lost @ 25lbs of muscle and put on @ 30lbs of fat and water weight. Although I regained full motion and use of my right arm through therapy, cortisone and plasms injections, my journey took 2yrs to get myself back into the shape I was used to. Aging and slow metabolism is a "undefeated titan". LOL!
