Track everything you put into your mouth using something like MyFitnessPal and a kitchen scale. This includes liquids. From there, work on reducing your calories every week by 100/day. So if you're eating 2000 calories a day now, go to 1900 for a week. Then 1800 for a week, et****il you are consistently losing a little weight each week.

Prioritize protein and calorie free liquid, avoid refined and processed carbs, move as much as you can.

I'm needing to lose weight without insurance. (surgery isn't an option bc of no insurance and high cost) What options do I have?

Very interested in programs you speak of however live in country far from any OA programs

any online?

or correspondence packages

Coolscultping is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. It eliminates the stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. But I don't know if it will help to reduce weight. The fats can be removed only after 2-3 sessions.

Hi, has anyone been through the Optifast program offered through Kingston General in Ontario?  I've been assessed for surgery, but put it on hold because, as someone who at the age of 58 has never even spent a night in the hospital, let alone had surgery, I can't face how drastic the idea of this surgery is.  I was wondering if any of their weekly classes are offered during the day, or are they all in the evening.  I live over an hour away from the hospital, and don't relish the idea of driving that far after dark.  I'd also be interested in hearing general thoughts on the program from anyone who has gone or are going through it.  Thanks!
