My starting weight in March of 2024 was 315 and today I’m down to 194. My goal is 165 by June which is about another 29 pounds and I don’t think that’s completely unattainable but I’ve hit a plateau. I increased my calories from 1200 to 1360 but what else can I do? Does is all really just come down to cardio or exercise…

Calorie targets
So apparently aiming for less than 1000 calories a day is unhealthy but you need to aim for a calorie deficit of 500 less than your maintenance calorie target… My body scales suggest a maintenance goal of 1334 calories (I’m 5’ 2”) so minus 500 would be around 800 calories a day? Any thoughts from shorter ladies?

OMG I think the berberine worked!
I just had an official A1C test done (because I was having other blood tests done) and in 9 months went from 5.9 to 5.6. I'm no longer pre-diabetic. And with cookies! (If I need more than one test being under 5.7, I don't wanna hear it. I figured I'd keep going up because that's just my luck.)

Fun with time-restricted feeding (TRF)
I am inspired by a recent study that showed that, for fairly large subjects, and fairly modest weight loss (<5% of body weight), time-restricted feeding (TRF, aka "intermittent fasting") works about as well as calorie counting. Shock! I've been using MFP for years and have done many cuts using a calorie counting approach.…
