[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]^Also, there really aren't too many people fretting over how to lose 5 or 10 pounds.  It's not that hard to lose such a small amount of weight.  Their metabolisms aren't lugged down by excess fat so they should be able to take that weight off with very minimal effort.[/b]

But the folks with 40, 50, 100+ pounds to lose really can use some tips as to how to maintain a calorie deficit long term.  These are the folks who are in it for the long haul.  And they are not going to be able to take that weight off through exercise alone.  They will need to make significant changes to their diet, too.[/quote]

I agree as an Op because now I am at -12lb, from 180 to 168. The first 5 were easy but I would not say VERY easy. Even to lose 5 lbs I had to adjust my diet and ensure that I do not eat more than 1800 calories. Since then, I moved to a 1600 calorie diet and lost 7 lbs more. For the folks like me who are in it for the long haul, I think every bit of tracking, education, self-awareness, and motivation helps. I will post new learnings as I make progress but thus far the following worked:

1. Daily tracking and weighing - self-awareness and integrity.
2. 16:8 or 17:7 fasts.
3. 1600 to 1800 calories per day diet.
4. 8 cups of water a day (I am averaging at 6 :()
5. One fruit per day.
6. Minimal to no processed or fast food.
7. Green Tea.
8. Yogurt - Whole Milk.
