Anyone lost weight just by counting calories, creating a deficit & no exercise?

Me, me, me! I lost 40 lbs just counting calories. I’m a 5’2” woman 54 yo. I’m working on the last 20, in January I started doing 30-40 minutes of walking, brisk pace (3.5mph), 5x’s a week. It’s so much easier without that 40 lbs to lug around!

When people say this, I always think "What am I doing wrong?" - because I notice very little difference in my abilities after losing well over 100 lb. I was always energetic though, so I guess that's good!

You might just not notice the difference, but I promise you it is there. Your body has just adjusted, that's all. When weight comes off slowly, its easy to "not notice."
Try and take a backpack loaded with 50 extra pounds and walk around with it for awhile. You'll wonder how that was ever your normal.

It is 100% doable. I personally have success when I include exercise, but that isn't necessary. You can do it!

Yes, I have lost up to 60 pounds so far since January of this year by simply monitoring my calorie intake and Being mindful about when I eat as much is what I eat. I like many in this post have the mindset that I didn’t want to injure myself trying to work out before I got myself to a healthier weight. That will be step two in my journey to a healthier me, now that I have reached a healthier weight I will begin a fitness regime that I help me get into better shape and feel better. I started on January 2 of this year not as a New Year’s resolution I rather just realizing I had to make changes in my lifestyle. On January 2 I weigh 279 pounds as of yesterday I weighed 219.
