[quote=Anonymous]Yes I have, but it was not 2lbs lost every week.  It requires a large calorie deficit which may or may not be sustainable for you depending on your height.  I am 5’3.5 and was 168 at my highest.  At that weight, my TDEE was around 1800-2000.  I ate between 800-1000 calories a day.  This requires careful planning to maximize protein and nutrition and you must get rid of all other useless calories (drink black coffee, make sure theres no calories in any supplements you take etc).  I bulked all meals with tons of low cal veggies like bell peppers, romaine, zucchini etc.  I used no oils when cooking, no sugar, no junk food.  At that kind of deficit you don’t have room to eat anything that does not provide maximum nutritional value.

No, I did not use glp1s or any other help - it was sheer willpower at first driven by a strong medical motivation.  I’m very glad I did it this way.  Seeing the numbers drop quickly helped me keep going, and I completely cleaned up my diet and got used to a whole new way of eating.  Back to my high school size and weight of 107lbs at 42.  Have maintained for over a year now.  Medical issues have gotten tremendously better if not completely resolved.[/quote]
