Does this really work?

I've set my calorie/weight goal.

My garmin is linked to my account, so I do eat back some exercise calories- not all but some.

I'm finding that most days (when I plan, track, and exercise) it's very easy for me to hit my calorie goal (and have a deficit). I'm only slightly hungry, usually at night time, but not enough to make me eat.

Can it really be this easy?
I'd like to drop around 20lbs in 3 months or so.

Thanks!

Yes, it works, and yes, 20 pounds in at least 3 months is absolutely possible.

I get very little exercise on a day to day basis, as I work an office job. I calculated my TDEE and the deficit at which I'd need to eat to lose 1lb per week, and have been doing this for just over 2 months now (~10 weeks). I've lost 11lbs so far, so almost exactly at the rate projected by MFP.

As long as you eat at a deficit, you will lose weight.

This does really work but only if you are honest with yourself and fairly accurate in your logging. 20 pounds is very doable! 3 months is probably a stretch but aim for something and best of luck to you! (20 mile neighbor)

Yes if you eat fewer calories than you burn to create a calorie deficit you will lose weight. Every weight loss is accomplished in this way if calories are counted or not. Counting calories just helps us know if there is a deficit. Like anything else, it is only as accurate as the numbers you put in. Weigh your food, find the most accurate entries, and you will succeed.

Good to hear. I have a food scale and hold myself accountable.
