That doesn’t seem like much over the course of six months though.

Slow but steady. She probably isn't deprived in any way, either.

Yes and no. Calories burned is actually a function of calories eaten. This complex function makes calorie counting hard. Also calories burned is a function of hormonal and metabolic health.

Agree, 18 is what I do daily and it works like a charm.

Nope, it’s not. But nothing else had been successful before and I had been gaining a pound or so a year, so I’ll take it. I don’t have a ton to lose, either.

I eat from noon - 8 pm and I am doing weight watchers. When I stick to it, I lose weight.

Yes. If you make the fast from "dinner at 7 to lunch at noon the next day" then 8 hours of the fast is sleeping, which are easy hours.

Many have. Weight loss depends on a lot of factors, one important factor being metabolic health and chronic insulin levels vs. postprandial levels.
