[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to lose 10 pounds.

I finally lost 5 pounds.

I had to cut out most processed food. The only grain I eat is 1/2 cup of rolled overnight oats, occasionally a slice of sourdough bread, and every other day or so, quinoa, brown rice mixed with lentils.

I cut out pasta, pizza, and hamburger 🍔 buns and granola and cereal and popcorn with butter.

I added more fat like walnuts, pecans, avocado 🥑, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. I added more leafy greens like steamed spinach and kale.

Instead of eating a cheeseburger, I ate turkey meatballs with steamed spinach and mushrooms with marinara sauce sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Or I microwaved an egg and steamed spinach and mushrooms with avocado 🥑 sourdough toast.

I have been full after meals.

The last 5 or 10 pounds are sometimes considered stubborn. The weight loss is slower at a pound a week. You can't restrict calories anymore. You have to eat more nutritious calories.

Anyone else relate? [/quote]
Yes, I can relate.
But do you only need to lose 10 pounds total, or is this your final 10? I had - and have - much more to lose. Nevertheless, the 20# I lost began with doing similar things (eliminating/making rare soda and breads, adding more veggies and nuts and MUFAs, etc) and also walking 30-60 minutes 5 or more times a week.

But I've been stuck for a few years now and can't figure out how to start moving the needle again for the remaining 20-30#. Anyone have suggestions? (Other than weights, because I have shoulder and wrist tendon issues precluding that)[/quote]
