Hi! I lost about 15 lbs. a couple years ago, and regained it all back after suffering from health problems and family issues. I really need to lose a minimum of 40 lbs. for health reasons, but would like to lose more if possible.
I am 62, 5'2", and weight 182 lbs. My ideal weight was 124, which I was able to maintain until I was in my early 50's when it stayed in around the 140-145 range. After retiring from a physically demanding job and quitting smoking I managed to pack on 40 more lbs in the past 8 years.
The idea that I could return to a weight I'm comfortable with seems out of reach and overwhelming and I would be grateful for any help or advice.
I should add that I have COPD , so strenuous exercise is out of the question.
Thank you for reading this!

It is easy enough and you have done this before!
A good filling variety of food you can live with, and a limit of calories per your food log goals...
And you are ready.
Best wishes on your journey and with your COPD0
