You can do it!! If my dad could lose 25 lbs when he was 55 years old and keep it off, you can achieve your weight loss goals.

Thank you! It's particularly challenging during the pandemic because my teen/tween/husband are here all day, scarf down food like there's no tomorrow, and wheedle me into cooking large, tempting meals. Was about to start a lamb curry tomorrow, with a delicious ginger tang. ARGH!

Make sure you work out is not the kind where you hold onto handles for dear life with hands, or where you are walking at 2mph. That is not exercise, it is hardly doing anything.
Eat cabbage, on pp, gave a recipe for a head of cabbage in an iron skillet in the oven with chicken on top. Don't make the chicken, make the cabbage, Delicious and you can eat it for half an hour and it delish.
The only thing I see from your menu is too many high-calorie meats. High calorie, low volume food.
Watch Greg Doucette on youtube. Best advice ever.

God no, don't listen to this nut.

I'm not sure I can be vegan. I play a sport pretty vigorously (right now only twice a week but in the spring it will be 4-5 times a week) and if I don't eat enough protein beforehand I get really lightheaded. I think I have to keep the salmon, lean pork chops, chicken breast, in my diet.

I do find completely avoiding sweets and pasta/bread is the key for me. I have had a lot of problems in the past with just "one piece of birthday cake" that blends into leftovers the next day, and pasta the next, and so on. I have horrible willpower - I wish I could do moderation with sweets and carbs but I find it very, very difficult.

That's BS. You don't need meat to be an athlete. It is a myth. Do you live in the 1960s? Plus, I posted this before I saw how much you lost in a short period of time. But, I stand by it, nobody needs as much meat as you are eating.

Meat is full of calories, it is a low volume, high-calorie food

I have the same issue. I used to play tennis twice a week for two hours. In Eygpt! It was not a meat I needed. I took a small bag of potato chips and munched on it during the break. When at home, and I have a dizzy spell, I take a bit of salt! Done, fixed. How can you not know this?

So a bag of potato chips is healthier than a piece of salmon or chicken?

^^ sounds like an eating disorder. OP ignore this advice. Especially if don't want major hair loss and sallow skin. 2 servings of meat per day is not "too much meat" OP isn't eating a platter of bacon. She said a piece of chicken or salmon.
