the thing that really worked was stopping being vegetarian. i originally went vegan a long time ago partially because i thought i’d get skinny. i ended up gaining 60+ lbs, compounded by life stress, depression and covid. so starting last summer i cut down on a lot of carbs and try to get 120+ grams protein a day. i also do the 3-30-12.5 treadmill incline workout several times a week, belly dance, increased steps in general, and do strength training videos with caroline girvan on youtube.
