41F, starting weight 223 lbs. I have been losing and gaining the same 40-45 lbs for about 7 years now, and was starting to feel like it would always be this way. Cutting down to 1200 cals a day, intermittent fasting, cutting carbs and tracking calories, etc. Lose the weight, feel good, start slacking off and then boom, gain it all back. I'd been seeing these ads for Berry Street and thought, "What the heck, might as well see if my insurance covers it." (It does.) I've been working with the dietician chosen for me for about two months now, and I'm really surprised how much of a difference it's made.
The main difference, I feel, is that she's helping me reframe my approach to food and weight loss as a whole. One of the first things she told me was that her goal is to make it so I don't have to give up any of the things I love. Which, I know, we've all heard that "everything in moderation" is the way to go, but I felt like I didn't really know how to put that into practice without guidance. She's showing me what that looks like for me personally, and how I can maintain it so it's not just a diet.
I'm currently down to 216 lbs, but more than that, I'm tracking my measurements (which is where I see the biggest difference). It has taken some time for me to wrap my head around the fact that yes, I'm losing weight at a slower pace than I ever have with anything I previously tried, but I'm also not starving myself or overtraining in order to do it. If the rest of my life looks like this, I think I can do it.
I just wanted to share, because this is the first time I've ever felt truly positive about the possibility of losing the weight and keeping it off.
Thanks for reading!
