I started Nanners on her new regimen of less food, no scraps, and more exercise back last October. Yesterday's weigh-in at the vet shows a 22.1 pound loss. I'm going for 15 more. I wonder if dogs plateau like humans do?
Side benefit: I'm fitting into pants I haven't been able to fit into for 7 years.

Can I get an amen?
AAAAA-MEN!! and Good for BOTH of you!!
bailey has been cut WAAAAAAY back on her food and treats, but her forced inactivity has limited her weight loss potential for the moment.....
I fed my dog no salt green beans (canned), and cut back on her weight management food (1/4 cup of food and 1/2 can beans for dinner; 3/4 cup food for breakfast). Didn't exercise her much though, and she lost about 10 pounds. The thyroid meds helped also. She's 8.
That is great.. It is hard for a dog to lose that much weight. My Harley lost 10 by cutting out treats and feeding a better food. I also made sure I fed him less too. He still gobbles it up like it is his last meal.
I just had to train myself to ignore the beseeching looks she was giving me after her food was reduced by 50%. We're together 24/7, so I don't have work time away from her. (I work out of the house)
After awhile she stopped bugging me, possibly because her stomach shrank a bit? I don't know. She is a trooper who accepts her lot in life without complaint or too much guilting.
I'll post a couple up as soon as I snap them. I can't tell any difference, but maybe that's because we're in each others' company all the time. Her boobies do seem to be saggier these days, and there's a huge difference in the looseness of her collar.
