Also, Barre isn't a great workout. Do 2G classes at OTF to get a mixture of cardio and lifting. You should be going 6 days a week.

Not OP, but I'm on one and wouldn't recommend it for 20lb loss (bad side effects are possible if not likely, and people gain the weight back when they go off the med). But it's a free country...
I would totally recommend it. I lost 10 pounds effortlessly with no side effects and now I take it once a month just to stay on track. I’m so annoyed that I was scared to try it and spent years trying to lose that last spare tire around my waist!

I’m a teacher and had an unrelated health scare at the end of the school year. Decided that if I survived I promised myself to take my health far more seriously. So here I am, alive and well, and dedicating my days to meal prepping and committing to reasonable work outs daily. And I’m looking and feeling good! Of course, it’s completely unsustainable when school starts again. Hoping to gain some habits that are reasonable to continue.

I walk 10k steps and day and attend a barre class 3-4 times a week. Weight isn’t moving, my diet is fairly healthy, yogurt, salad regular dinner.
Looking for tips that worked!
58 female here, and nothing worked consistently until I did the following (lost 15 lbs in a year):
--focus on protein. For me eggs, chicken and fish are my main source. I keep hard boiled eggs and tunafish ready with lots of lettuce, cucumbers, Wasa crackers.
--no snacking at all. I learned to drink iced green tea or water or an occasional diet gatorade. I learned to be really hungry before a meal.
--eat most of my calories at breakfast and lunch, make sure dinner is the smallest meal and eat nothing after. It is hard but really is my key to weightloss. I focussed on making brothy soups with something filling like lentils or barley and vegetables in them. Lots of salt and seasoning for flavor. I keep individual servings in the freezer so I can have my own dinner when cooking something else for my family.
--one cheat meal a week, always something social, so I felt I could keep on this long term.
Good luck!

It’s surprising how much less I eat now and feel fine. I overate so much before, no wonder I was overweight. Until you actually come close to passing out from starvation and exercise, you probably are massively overeating.
Gimme a fing break. You are recommending coming close to passing out to lose weight? WTF is wrong with you?

+1. At this point the ones who aren't on a GLP stick out like sore thumbs, because they are the only ones who are fat.
