@rinalamb The first 5 were the easiest because that weight was more akin to water weight, bloat, or period weight. All I did was drink more water and start walking a bit more.
The next 5 required portion control and diet change. My whole family loves dessert, they eat ice cream every night. So I'm challenged every day, since I live with them.
I don't work out due to time constraints. I may get a HIIT exercise in on the weekend at my bf's apartment's workout room. I also bike for half an hour and then walk for half an hour if I do get to use the space.
My pattern is walking at least 8k steps, if not 10-12 daily. I take the bus to worl, then walk home.
I eat a small breakfast, like an apple/banana with peanut butter. Lunch fluctuates with what we have in yhe house, but I always measure out how much I crave, then split that in half. I try not to snack, and if I do, it's cucumbers or something like that. Dinner is the same as lunch. If I do eat a big lunch, I skip dinner. I also try to have a glass of water before lunch/dinner, or at least a few sips.
As for dessert, unlike my family, who eats straight from the ice cream tub, I buy novelties. I know, still bad, but I never overeat when I do.
Right now, I fluctuate between 129-131. When I'm on my period, it's toward the higher end.
I know that to lose the last 10, I need to make bugger changes. I'm hoping to sign up to an athletic club so I can swim or something when it gets too cold. My goal, if I can't lose it, is to maintain during the winter months and not accidentally hibernate or something.
