My cardiologist told me that pretty much, I’m in great health but that if I just lost more weight I’d be way more healthier
So I’m just taking his advice.

I lost 5kg (11 pounds) in hospital and the staff were worried that I'd lost too much. I was at my correct weight for my height, so that was odd. I was also told that guidelines had changed and a bit of extra weight was OK. One guy described it as condition. What am I, a horse???
I had no problem at all putting on the weight. And rather more than I wanted. I am retired so not as active as I used to be. I have lost 2 kg simply by cutting out snacks and doing a bit of exercise. I do light weights for upper body and leg raises for abs. We have a free gym where I live and I use the rowing machine. That's good for the legs.
Weigh yourself once a week, as soon as you get out of bed. That way you have a base line.
Several years ago, I fasted twice a week, not eating until 3 pm. That worked well, but a medical condition has made that not such a good idea. I sometimes skip breakfast. So far, so good.

The intermittent fasting is a very good start. This is something I started doing about two months ago. I also do carnivore (started four months ago). For me these things are working pretty well. You also need to incorporate some exercises.
I'm down from 197 to 179 as of this morning. I didn't have that far to go. My ideal weight range is the same as yours. The biggest improvement for me is that my BP meds have been cut in half. I don't think I will ever be able to eliminate the BP meds because even in high school ( 5'8 135 lbs), my BP was naturally high. I failed the military physical because of that.
I wish you success in your journey!
i am just starting a diet and really struggling to restrict my calories. i weigh over 250 pounds and i just want to keep eating! i need prayers so i can stick to my diet. please! my weight is going to kill me and the worst part is i dont care!
You do care.
Because if you truly didn't care, you wouldn't be reaching out for help/support.
You will be in my prayers.
Congratulations i wish you only the best. Im down to 168 pounds now, a few more to go, then the real challenge will be trying to stay at `165 the rest of my days.
I lost my first 20 pounds tracking food and moving more each day. For light cardio that is fun on sore joints, I use trampolines from Trampoline Warehouse nearly every morning. Their 10ft model fits my small garden, arrived free next day, and feels safe with the EN-71 padding. It keeps me consistent without feeling like a workout.
