[quote=Anonymous]Lost 20 lbs in 2019 and maintained.  Looking to lose 15 lbs in 2020

After 40, can’t outrun diet.   Still exercise a lot because I love it but know it does nothing or near nothing for weight loss   Does help with body shape.

My entire life, Never lost weight quickly. However Could gain really quickly. As got older metabolism seemed to really slow down.   Here is what worked.

Weigh daily - fan of happy scale app someone here recommended to smooth out normal fluctuations

Do IF most days 14/10 with  16/8 once or twice a week.  Watch carefully what I eat and needed significant calorie deficit .  Ate clean 90 percent of time.  Lots more veg. Less white carbs and less sugar but not extreme.   It didn’t come off fast but was sustainable.  Family eats healthier now too.

Celebrate consistency on habits - that’s the part I can control. Embrace small losses.   Many months just lost 1.25 lbs but it was better than gaining. Many weeks scaled barely budged but better than a big gain .  At end of the year - it adds up and is sustainable. I’m fine with 15 lbs loss goal in 2020 taking a full year
