can confirm on the lifestyle change. what worked for me was cutting junk food and significantly reducing carbs and a complete cut off of sugar. it was really hard the first couple of weeks but I managed. I lost a lot of weight and was able to get to a point where I could go on long walks, go for intermediate level hikes. think i may get back on that journey again because i did gain it all back.

Weight loss is a weird subject in this community. And I get it. We don't want to hear about it after everyone and their mama nagging and shaming us for either being fat or liking fat people.
But you gotta have balance. And sometimes, you get too fat to enjoy the life you wish to lead. And that's okay. Weight loss doesn't mean being a size 2 with abs. (Although if you want that, more power to you.) Weight loss can be going from fat to chubby or losing 20lbs. It's not all or nothing.
aye, and when I did lose enough weight to go on said hikes/walks I still had some heft to me of course. i may never get rid of this belly lol and I've come to terms with that. the added mobility was nice. and you're right, talking about weight loss in this community may not be our favorite topic, but if health is a concern sometimes it's the right call. That's where I'm at, it's becoming a health issue and it's up to me to change that.
