I’m currently a lump of chocolate and cheese, but once the new year hits, I’m determined to make 2026 the year I finally get back to a healthy weight (I’ve lost about 20 pounds, with about 80-100 to go). I’m pretty good about exercising regularly, but, as they say, abs are made in the kitchen. Those who have successfully lost weight, is there anything you particularly recommend for maintaining a calorie deficit to lose the weight, and then avoiding gaining it back later on?

What have been working for me until the cold weather and the scale ran out of batteries is to weight every meal and count all the calories I consume. I eat whatever I want as long it fits inside the 2300kcal daily budget, the weight loss was slow but steady since summer. I could get faster results by exercising more and/or setting a tighter budget but I'm happy enough with the current rate.

This week I bought new batteries, so I'm good to go again.
