Great job Dawn!!! Lifestyle changes are so important. I also think baby steps is the way to go too. If you go hard it usually doesn't stick. At least for me.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Yes! Thank you!

[@dinahsoar6982]

Great tip doing it meal by meal. When I did WW and blew it at breakfast or lunch I figured I'd blown it for the day, so started over the next day. Which is discouraging. So I tailored the WW to 'per meal' instead of 'per day'...much easier to get back on track!

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

I've done the same thing as you have

[@sali4691]

Congratulations !

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Thank you!!

[@zickafoose]

Key for me is low carbs and intermittent fasting. Also, I use a meter to measure blood sugar making sure I’m not getting high blood sugar levels as that can cause weight loss problems. (Some products that say they are low carb are not when it comes to spiking blood sugar). I stay away from fruit, except berries. I’ve kept the weight off 5 years.!

[@dude988]

You look good girl! I love your arms, they show that you do work out and not just try to starve yourself.

[@3TXSisters]

Is this Dude from Germany? I've wondered how you are since your illness last winter. Are you staying healthy? Hope you are safe and are able to stay supplied with food and toilet paper. (it's hard to find in some places in the US)

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Gosh you are so kind

[@dude988]

@@3TXSisters Yeah Hi there. Whole Germany is under lock down. Everything is closed but supermarkets and drug stores. No restaurants, gyms, movie theater, hair dresser, nothing is opened. We are allowed to leave the house but can only meet with 1 other person and have to keep 5 foot distance. Getting certain types of dry food and toilet paper was a problem like 3 and 4 weeks ago, yesterday I got everything I needed except my favorite cookies. I guess those who've hoarded have finally enough and the fact that some things are rationed in the supermarkets helps to prevent the always empty shelves. I myself am really relaxed, I can work from home and I normally don't go out to meet with people, therefore I don't feel restricted at all. To be fair, I should avoid getting sick since my immun system is a mess and I would probably die. But otherwise it's a nice sunny spring in Germany (75°F) and I am about to finish my Bachelors thesis.

[@3TXSisters]

@@dude988 I'm glad you are able to stay healthy and fairly well stocked. Good luck with your thesis and enjoy the sunshine when you can!

[@Myfrugallife]

You are doing a great job Dawn. Also, it’s a very tight eating window. I am usually at work for most of my eating time, so I have to bring food with me, and then my biggest meal ends up being in the evening when I get home. Sometimes it’s later than I wanted it to be.

Thanks for your tips! For me as I've gotten older I find it harder to stay on a diet. Your tips sound like they could help me. When I was in my 20's I finally got fed up with my weight and I went to weight watchers. At that time I lost 30 lbs. and got down to my goal weight. But for me to do that I stayed on their diet, walked 2 miles a day, plus exercised to my own routine at night. I had 10 different excercises to cover different parts of my body. Plus I was very determined. I had been overweight since I was a child. After that I got married, had a child, and with the stresses in life I gained all my weight back, plus more. That is where I am right now. I can't walk like I use to because I have a bad leg. I also use a Walker. So things have changed quite a bit for me. As always thanks for your ideas and enciuragement.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

I've been there I've done the yo-yo dieting I have to tell you I don't consider what I'm doing keto but I consider it modified keto the good thing about it is is because you're eating a lot more fats it keeps you. You're not constantly craving

[@pjl2963]

Point # 3 is key for me! It's all about substitutes. If I want something sweet, I can bake something with Keto approved ingredients to satisfy that craving. I think your point about "not beating yourself up" is so important, too. That kind of negative thinking can derail all your good progress!

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Love that!

[@joycefoltz1122]

You have done so well. Very proud of your success! I so understand the under 200 mark. I have 17 more pounds to get there myself. God bless always🌺🌺🌺

Intermittent fasting works wonders for me. And of course staying away from carbs. You look marvelous!

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Yes it does!

[@nemo7782]

Intermittent fasting has been a blessing for me. I usually do 16:8, but am contemplating an 18:6. The problem is my diabetes and the fact that I am still working [essential employee]. I cannot do a smaller window with working outside the home. Low-carb has also been a benefit. I am slowly NOT craving all the junk starch and am working on things to kill the Sweet Tooth without ballooning my gut over it. TBH- I find myself not feeling good after eating conventional sweets more and more. I'm not a slave to my scale, but I guesstimate that I've lost 4-5 lbs. since I've gone IF. I'm hoping to shed even more over the Summer and keep healthy. Thanks for a wonderful video, MM. It is always nice to know that we are all in this together! :)

[@Myfrugallife]

I agree, it’s a lot harder to keep intermittent fasting schedule when working. I often get home late, and I end up eating later than I was planning to.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Yeah but intermittent fasting doesn't have to be for an extended long. Of time it could just even be 8 hours or 10 hours whatever you feel good with but being diabetic is sounds like you might want to eat a little more often thank you for your wonderful comment

[@hundo9314]

Hard thing to do. But we all feel better at our ideal weight. ⭐

[@ercokatty]

You have a great attitude! I know I’ve gained some weight while being at home and I need to reel that in! I did want to comment on one thing though. At our age exercise doesn’t really help much with weight loss. Moderate exercise is what we should be doing. When we work out too hard or too much at this age we don’t have enough estrogen to quickly recover like we did even 10 years ago. Our body sees it as stress and will store cortisol which will add to belly fat. So what we put in our mouths is really the key to weight loss, and you’re doing a great job with that! BTW, today I caught up with you and I am also double nickels! 😂🥳

[@CathAlexandra]

Fantastic! My loss is so much slower. Did Keto for 3 months and lost 6 pounds. Need to get back to it. My proteins are good, just need to add more veggies. That makes a difference for me. Cheeses and nuts make me gain.

Dear Dawn, Another great video. May I ask?? Do you have your coffee in the morning?? And what time do you get up and going in the morning?? I tend to want to sleep in a bit now that we are at a stay in place situation. I have meds to take in the a.m. so waiting till 2:00 p.m. to eat might not work for me. I'll ask my doctor if I get to see her again. Have an appointment on April 16th, but they cancelled my last one a month ago due to virus. Congratulations on doing so well with your weight loss journey. You are a true inspiration to so many people. We love you Dawn!! From your pals out in California... Debbie and Dexter-Dog!! 😀🌅🏡
