What works for men when it comes to losing weight? Topic

Men and women tend to approach weight loss differently. Two men with very different backgrounds and motivations share what worked for them: https://www.mynetdiary.com/men-share-what-helped-them-lose-weight.html

-What are you doing right now that is getting the scale moving?

Right now is pretty easy. I am in quarantine for 14 days (only 5 remaining) and so my wife delivers me three meals a day with no snacks. I have tons of yard work (yesterday 3 hours worth) and go for a one hour walk each day. I should be down 4-5 lbs during my 2 week sentence. I have been losing 1 1/2 lbs a week over the last 7 months and I am real happy with that speed of loss. I have always been good at diets. Just not so good at maintaining weight. I don’t gain it back fast; 5-7 lbs a year, but can’t seem to get the gumption to take off the 5 lbs I just gained, but instead wait till my weight is way out of control and then take off 40-100 lbs. I want to take off about 35 more lbs this time.
Maybe if I continue using this site, I can be successful during maintenance.
