An interesting coincidence how @willmcgugan’s weight loss blog post comes just 2 weeks after my own! Clearly, it’s a topic on people’s minds. My account involves no injections, so you can treat it as an alternative approach.

Losing weight is easy, I've done it lots of times! - Łukasz Langa

Wait, what? Yeah, I’ve done a few big diet runs in the past and regained lost weight, and then some. This April I started again, but did it better. I lost 19 kilograms in four months. I reached that point in late August, but wanted to give it at least two months before declaring victory publicly. Now I can tell you: the weight stayed down over conferences, vacation, holidays, and birthday parties. This looks sustainable. Let’s talk about it.

@ambv @willmcgugan my approach was more similar to yours, lost ~45 pounds that i'd gained over 2 pregnancies. i found intermittent fasting was easy once i stopped breastfeeding, my body seemed eager to get rid of the weight. it was so refreshing to not be hungry all the time!! and it was very interesting to observe how hunger timing is so based on routine, not an actual need for calories.

@pamelafox @willmcgugan Impressive! How long ago was that? Do you have any tips on maintenance?

@ambv @willmcgugan i lost it from sept 2024-may 2025 (my goal was to lose it by pycon!). I’m being realllly lax about maintenance because i’ve had bad experiences with being overly strict about eating approaches in the past. I do often eat breakfast now, some eggs or dark chocolate, but i still keep meals between 9am and 8pm. I try to find natural opportunities for accidental fasting, like distracting morning events or nighttime meetups (pizza does not tempt me!).
