I gain in the winter and completely lose my appetite and in result weight in the summer. I have found it hard to keep the weight off in the winter. I've started taking walks, it's good light exercise.

Calorie counting works for me to lose or maintain my weight.

If you're not losing weight, you are still consuming too many calories. Some people are also sensitive to macro balances which can slow weight loss if they are only in a small calorie deficit. Personally I didn't start losing weight till I got the arboleaf body composition scale that gave me a lower BMR than online calculators did. I also started weighing everything I ate and learned how to properly track it by making all of my servings of food one gram/ounce and having x amount of servings to equal the amount I'm eating. The Facebook group Macros Inc has been extremely helpful on how to count calories and macros properly. Just to give a disclosure that group is ran by paid health coaches but asking for help in the group doesnt require you to be one of their clients. If that is something you may be interested in though they are some of the more affordable coaches I have seen for how much one on one support you get. Also if your activity level is low a good way to increase it even slightly is a low impact body meditation exercise such as Qigong and Tai Chi if it is something you are comfortable with. It has helped me a ton and is a great warmup mentally and physically for more intense stretching and moderate resistance training or weightlifting sessions.

I'm getting to the point where even walking hurts so I am doing it with food. I have had some success so far by cutting bread and junk food

I'm on my feet all day so it's the opposite for me I can't seem to gain any weight only lose

I'm having a heck of a time losing weight especially since I'm on the weight gaining spectrum of gastroparesis. For me it's lack of appetite/malabsorption. Could also be contributing to my fibromyalgia.

Have u tried the Bye Bye Belly.. it can b expensive BUT it DEF works

Not enough to make it count

Are you on any meds? If so that makes it extremely difficult! I’m on lyrica and it doesn’t matter if I eat well and count calories and work out, I still gain weight. Don’t beat yourself up too badly! People don’t seem to understand how hard it can be

Paleo

I ended up with IBS, so my doctor put me on a FODMAP diet. I've just fine-tuned it to eat what I like, and found I eat really healthy, and I love it! Fruit (especially berries) have become my go-to dessert. I eat blueberries with pumpkin seeds and almond milk, and it's yummy. I also walk my dogs in the morning (1 1/2 miles), and lift light weights. I also walk 3 miles in the afternoon on the treadmill at a moderate pace. My weight stays pretty consistent...and I think eating "clean" with no processed food does help me feel better. I wish you well.❤️❤️❤️
