[quote=Anonymous]I'm 40, 5'3" and mom of two.  In June 2021 I weighed 175 -- the most I have ever weighed, other than when pregnant, by far.  I got down to 135 by mid October.  Like you, I truly had no time for exercise (long story); like not even time to take walks.  Maybe this isn't poplar, but I just started eating A LOT less, knowing that it wouldn't be forever.  So I started IF, cut out calories from drinks, and cut out sweets except for one small weekly treat.  I meticulously planned out my meals for Monday through Friday, and made most of those days pretty similar/repetitive in a given week.  (Some might think that leads to boredom, but for me it made things simple and easy -- I didn't have to rely on will power, I just had to rely on my easy plan.)  I incorporated lots of little high protein snacks into my meal planning - a hard-boiled egg, a little serving of greek yogurt, some almonds, etc. -- to help me from ever feeling super hungry and then binging.  It wasn't the most fun 4 months, but I'm the type who needs to see results fast.  That part felt great.  I've kept it off and actually lost 7 more pounds since October.

Anyways, I'm mostly sharing because at your current weight and height, you actually don't need much exercise to lose the 20 pounds you want, if you are strict about diet.  There really are only so many hours in a day, and sometimes life is just such that we can't fit lots of workout time in.    [/quote]
