I have a simple weight loss goal; be able to lie on the beach without

[Floyd R. Turbo]

marine biologists pouring buckets of water on me!

1. Try the Atkins diet, I lost 30 lbs without even trying.

8. 60 lbs. on Atkins/keto, lots of walking,

but it was something to do during the pandemic, and I got to buy new clothes.

[Deep State Witch]

10. Almost 100 pounds on Keto

During the pandemic, my husband and I were about the only people that LOST weight! It's back up a bit now due to post-COVID inflammation and fluid retention.

If you want more information, look up Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube. He's from Nashville, so he sounds like a redneck, but he's cool.

14. Age 70, 2 years on keto/ketovore, & lost the weight without trying hard.

I now weight what I was at in high school and look good enough to walk out in my yard without a shirt, feeling fine about it. Keto is not a diet for me, but a lifestyle which has made me more healthy.

15. After more than 2 years I'm so used to it that I don't even think about sweets.

I suppose I'd eat a bit of birthday cake at a party but I am now 100% convinced that carbs really are the enemy and should be kept to a minimum. I've lose four sizes (18 to 10), but I don't walk out in my yard without a shirt. Gravity is never kind to old ladies.

2. Smaller portion sizes

Walk 30 minutes a day or 7000 steps.

3. Snorf!

4. Look, as long as I don't get a yeast infection

[steventh]

5. Haha sounds like a reasonable goal to me.

NIH study of 90 year olds suggests that a little weight gain and elevated bp in your 90s is a good thing. Also wine and coffee. Looking forward to my 90s lol.

6. Or people trying to roll you into the ocean?

[EYESORE 9001]

7. Just don't give them a reason to think you're dead

[Duppers]

9. 😂

[GreenWave]

11. 30 minute walk, water, water, eat normal, water water 30 minute walk

Every day. Eventually your body gets the message: STOP storing water. Then the walks burn fat, not protein.

[whistler162]

12. I am sure you would have a

whale of a time if you did!

13. Overeaters Anonymous saved my life.. after 3 years in the program,

I threw away the scale...Started at 215,..(5ft.6.& 1/2) last time at the doctor's office 152.

(Only time I weight myself is at doctors office)
.... Nice people, and no one wants to make money on you. Donations are voluntary. If you don't like one
meeting, then go to another..
....I threw away the scale in 1983...

.....YES, 65 POUND WEIGHT LOSS, KEPT OFF FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS ...

Read the above statements more than once.
I think about the program all the time ....Well........

THESE 4 sentences are very important..
.......Am I perfect?, WELL......
....HELL, NO.
....DOES IT WORK?
..... HELL, YES !!!

Post 11, above, is very important. That 30- minute walk will increase your heart strength to keep you alive. You need to do a few stretching exercises too.
....Any program at a gym or physical fitness class will show you what those stretching
exercises are. .. .Oh....If you don't like walking........buy a stationary bicycle...whlle riding, listen to your favorite
music.. Stay on the bike for say...15 minutes,...then build up to 30 minutes...........

.........Same with the walk.......Say you start at 15 minutes...slow walk, then gradually build up to 30 minutes...
.....(say increase the walk 2 minutes a week..from 15 to 17 & so on..) and gradually increase the speed of
the walk. Gradually, so it gradually increases the strength of the heart muscle and the other muscles...

Good Luck!! If at first you do not succeed, try, try, again..
.........One more: It ain't easy to change..If it were easy it would be easy!! Good Luck!
........Another:....This saved my life, and prolonged it..I am way over 70 years old.
.........3rd....................
..........YES, AND LOTS OF WATER, IT HELPS THE HEART AND THE REST OF THE BODY...(maybe 6 to 8 full glasses a day)

..............Keep this in mind, this advice is free, you don't like it, take another's advice...

........................................enough!!!.................

16. Only marine biologists?

How about everyone else who wants to pour water on you?

[Ocelot II]

17. People from Greenpeace might come along and drag you into the ocean.
