    To begin, here's what I did NOT do to lose weight. I'm not criticizing any of the following, just listing the methods I didn't employ since they are often used: I did not do Keto.I've tried it before, and it never worked after the initial 10-15 pounds. Plus, it made me dread avocados, which I always loved. I did not do Intermittent Fasting.I've tri...

    So here's how I did it, and this list is in no particular order. I just wanted to number the items so you'd see that I really tackled this from a bunch of different directions. I knew I had to hit it from all sides, because I didn't want to put all my eggs (egg whites?) in one basket, and I wanted to get this show on the road.

    "Calories in, calories out." We've all heard it preached, but I have absolutely seen that science play out in real time during the past few months. I tried to achieve a calorie deficit most days, which means I expended more calories (through exercise and just basic daily activity) than my body required to maintain my then-weight. I used online calc...

    In order to be as precise as possible with the calories I was eating, I used a digital food scale to weigh my food. Measuring food in grams was much more effective and eye opening to me than just measuring a cup or a pound. And speaking of eye opening—it really woke me up to the portions I had grown accustomed to eating! As with calories, I had com...

    This was all about "calories out" but it was also about just wanting to move my bod more and not feel so out of shape. I made exercise a regular part of my day, whether I walked with the dogs or did the rowing machine (which is in our living room!). I learned that making time each day to exercise simply had to be done—because, just like having a ba...

    I hit a major weight loss plateau about six weeks in, just after Ladd's accident. For a straight week-plus, even though I hadn't changed a thing, I abruptly stopped losing weight. Rather than get frustrated (okay, I was a little frustrated. Okay, I was mad), I Googled and researched and ultimately determined that I needed to build more muscle mass ...

    Another piece of information I gleaned during my weight loss plateau research was that many people successfully push through by upping the daily percentage of protein they consume. It made sense, though admittedly, I'd never thought to track my protein consumption before. Since I was already tracking my calories, it wasn't a stretch to also make no...

    This is a no-brainer, but it all boiled down to the eternal calorie-counting question: "If I am eating X calories today, do I want to blow 300 of those calories on a doughnut? Or do I instead want to spend 50 of them on a piece of good dark chocolate to get my fix, then keep eating things with more nutritive content?" (This is basically how Weight ...

    This was multi-faceted. First, alcohol has calories. Second, I wanted to give my body a rest from booze as I moved into incorporating more exercise in my daily life. Third (this was handy!), Lent happened to fall during this time period, and since alcohol is usually the thing I give up, I got to have an added motivation there. Bottom line, I didn't...

    As I said above, I am not into logging things and having to participate too much in programs. I spend enough time texting with my kids and posting on social media (and writing on my computer) to have to spend even more time tracking my eating and exercising. But I somehow happened upon the Happy Scale app, and let me tell you that it was a GAME CHA...

  1. Jan 4, 2024 · By Ree Drummond Published: Jan 4, 2024. Save Article. Ree Drummond. First things first: Happy New Year, friends! This is officially my first blog post of the new year, and I'm feeling renewed, rested, and ready to rev-up and write. (That was a lot of alliteration there!) But seriously, I plan to blog more this year!

  2. 6 days ago · Now. Just two years later, around 2012, things started to go south for my hair. I had noticed the texture had slowly started to change; it seemed drier and a little more frizzy. Around this time, I also decided to go lighter with my red color. Here's a pic from that time, post-color change. Ree Drummond.
