[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So if my goal weight is 150, I'm aiming for 105-150 g of protein daily? OMG.  I had to go to a plant-based diet per dr orders late last year, and protein is a massive struggle. And I hate tofu, and beans are so hard on my digestive system! :)[/quote]

What about plain greek yogurt and/or cottage cheese?

I'm also about 15-20 pounds overweight and I'm 5'4".  Looking to lose it by Memorial Day.  Maybe we can check in here to keep each other accountable.  I'm aiming for 130-135 pounds protein.  I lift heavy weights 5-6x/week.  Will adjust carbs/cals and cardio depending on how much I lose weekly.

[/quote] OP here - I really have to work on my cholesterol, so I've been trying to eat vegan before dinner and then moderate the animal sourced food at dinner. I'd be fine with those suggestions otherwise!

I would LOVE to check in weekly. :)[/quote]
