Members shared a wide range of practical strategies for weight loss, with the most consistent advice being daily walking (especially after meals), drinking plenty of water throughout the day to stay full and curb appetite, and eating smaller portions with a focus on lean proteins, vegetables, and controlled carb intake. Several members reported significant success, including one who lost 30 pounds through carb counting, another who lost 10 pounds by walking three times daily and limiting snacks after 6 p.m., and others who found that tracking carbs was critical for both diabetes management and weight loss. A recurring theme was making exercise enjoyable rather than a chore, whether through playing with children, walking with friends, or incorporating movement into daily routines, while also showing grace for the common struggle of regaining lost weight.

Gaining weight happens to us all.
I walk in the morning before work,15 minutes on my lunch break and 45 minutes before bed and I get the best sleep. I stop snacking after 6pm or have a small fruit and water. I drink 1-2 liters of water to flush toxins from my body and stay full longer.
Keep Moving but do what you can!!! 😁
Eating lean meats 1-2 ozs 2 veggies a small fruit and 1/2 cup low fat milk for lunch and dinner keeps my weight good. No Fried Foods for me.
I have 1/2 cup oatmeal, a small apple and water for breakfast or bran cereal flakes. 1 piece of baked fish, or salmon, 1/3 cup tuna or 3 pieces of sardines or 1 small baked chicken for me.
I always have a small fruit with my meals and drink water after and between meals to stay full longer and walk of 3 times daily.
Have a blessed weekend and be well!!!😁

Tina - counting my carbs has helped me lose weight in the past. I was in an 8-week program through my health plan and lost 30 lbs, then gained most of it back! Counting carbs is critical to my diabetes self-care, so losing the weight is a great benefit too. At my weight & height, 225 lbs, 5'5" my goal is 100-120 carbs a day. Exercise too, walking is great!

Water, constantly drink it. Before during and after meals. 1 cup before your meal helps you get full faster and it seems to reduce my appetite.
