[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How strict do you want to be with your diet? because it will really all come down to diet. I’d say 10 lbs is reasonable. [/quote] Diet is so hard for me! I WFH and often just eat whatever I can find for lunch because I am in a hurry. I can’t find salad recipes I want to make, but I enjoy them when I get them from a restaurant. If I could Laetrile below 160 at this point, I’d be happy. Part of my problem is that I will lose a couple and then relax...and gain it all back. :/[/quote]

Meal prep on Sunday and "pack" your lunch/daily meals just like you would if you were going to the office. Aim for 0.7-1g protein per pound of your goal weight and hit this every day. I'd also aim for 1500-1600 calories a day overall. Stick to only eating what you pack. I work out of the home and meal prepping/bringing my lunch is a huge calorie saver for me. Even on the weekends I try to eat my planned lunches and snacks, and  stick to a similar meal schedule to keep from snacking all day and mindless eating. Working from home can definitely be challenging on the diet, but if you have a plan and stick to it, you can do it. [/quote] OP here again... my biggest trigger is procrastination, or when I'm struggling to write a deliverable. Until I get some momentum, it feels like I am constantly snacking. Ugh. The learning curve has been steep on this job and now, after 2+ years, I'm finally getting the hang of it, but this is how I gained the weight - and the job is still stressful. I like it, but I stress over it.[/quote]
