Subject: What are your top three healthy goals?
1. Lose weight. I am doing it thanks to semaglutide. Want to get down to 120 (5'2) and now at 135.
2. Either go on a walk or do weight training every day. Won't happen until I cut down on work hours, now only do this weekends.
3. Work on my stress level which can be through the roof with teens at home. Empty nester next year so I think that will be a huge change for me.

I'd like to get my diabetes under control, or achieve remission/reversal.
Eat heathier and lean more towards a plant-based diet.
Practice more anti-aging techniques.

As someone who had to ramp up my metabolism after lifelong restricting in your range, I can tell you with almost certainty that yours needs work and you can do it. Over 12 months, I gradually increased my calories from 1200 to 1700 and didn’t gain a pound. In fact, I lost 10 pounds. It’s easy to get 130 grams of protein at 1700 calories - agreed it’s tough at 1000.

I work midnight shift. During my 30 minute break, instead of sitting and looking at my phone I am doing a HIIT workout in an empty conference room. I have kept this up for 2.5 weeks so far so wish me luck!
Other goals: stick to one large meal or two small meals a day with no snacking (I've been doing this for a few months successfully.)
No booze unless it's a weekend (pretty easy.)

As the OP of the getting enough fiber thread, my new goal is:
1. Get 25 grams of fiber per day. (I'm around 12-16 at the moment, going to work on the suggestions I got in the other thread)
Adding my other existing goals:
2. 2-3 hrs/week of exercise, combination of weights and cardio
3. Drink more water and less wine
Sleep should increase naturally if I can accomplish #2 and #3.

Stop bingeing and sneak eating.
Walk 60 minutes a day unless weather is terrible. That means get off my ass early in summer instead of walking in afternoon.
Stretch. Build up leg strength.

Sometimes it feels dizzying to sift through all the nonsense and conflicting recommendations. I'm trying to focus on very simple prescriptions that I can maintain for life. Here are my top three:
1. Exercise: Move my body for 60 minutes
2. Nutrition: Eat at least 100 grams of protein
3. Recovery: Sleep 8 hours
I don't come close to meeting these goals on the regular, but just naming them helps me focus my energies. My hope is that instead of fixating on what not to do or eat, these prescriptions will help other things fall in place.
What are yours?
Cut down sitting time.
Cut down screen time. Cut down carbs.
This is really good. Good luck.

1. 130g protein (I follow the 1g/lb, and I'm pretty good at hitting this goal but it does require snaking and protein shakes)
2. 8 hour sleep "opportunity," which generally results in 7 hours of actual sleep.
3. Increase VO2 max by slowly increasing incline on my treadmill over time. I run 30 minutes and 15 minutes on alternating days.
4. On my 15-minute run days, I strength train.
SP. Haha, I just re-read the title! I will consolidate item 3 and 4 and add learning how to count to three to my overall goals.
