Hello, I’m Monica, 48. After raising three children, it seems I have spent almost my entire adult life fighting back weight gained during those pregnancies. My youngest is now 18 and I don’t have many excuses anymore. I’ve always been decent at eating healthfully but I do struggle with portion sizes and eating out. I am a type 2 diabetic and finally got it under control during the pandemic by losing 25 lbs. I used Noom for about a year. I slowly started gaining weight back and so I am trying out some different things to see if I can figure out what I need to focus on to be successful long term. My goals are often small but I am in it for sustainability for life and not a short term change.
