Started walking/jogging 2 miles on the treadmill every other day.
Did 20 squats and hip/pelvic exercises while brushing my teeth for 2 minutes every night.
Kept light weights on my desk so I could work my arms while watching videos.
Got a job where I was on my feet walking 15000-20000 steps a day. In the summer I was sweating buckets and drinking a lot of water.
Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast, bottle of Soylent for lunch, normal dinner with my husband. I would still snack and have dessert and stuff, but I wouldn’t have as much as I used to. For example, instead of a whole slice of cake, I would have just a thin slice.
Eventually started jogging/running outdoors.
Went from 14/L to 8/S. I’m not sure how much time it took exactly because I wasn’t keeping track but I think it was less than a year. Just weighed myself one day and I had lost like 30 pounds.
Edit: I forgot to add that I also would only drink water or an alcoholic beverage with my meals. I figured lemonade and soda and iced tea were all extra calories and sugar that I didn’t need.
Edit again: I forgot I also would take the stairs instead of the elevator. So really overall it’s just little things here and there and they all add up. I can’t give up carbs or any food really because I love to eat, just enjoy a smaller portion. :)
