    LOL.

    Well on this and your other question, you've made the title (question) too long for the format and we can't see the whole question.

    Try again with a shorter title and put your question in the text "comment" part.

    Sustainable and Lifestyle Changes pretty much is the definition of weight loss that becomes permanent. So, do what you need to do.

    Yeah, we need the rest of the question :p

    But I'll give you my 2 biggests lifestyle changes that initially made me lose weight : Stop drinking your calories and WALK everywhere you go.
    Of course it may be not doable for everybody, but if you're lucky enough to be at walkable distances of things... it makes a huge difference.

    More activity, calories at maintenance after hitting your goal weight and keeping as much alcohol and ultra processed foods out of your diet as possible. Throw in some weight training and you’re good to go and don’t forget to sleep enough.

    Having a good attitude about life is probably number 1 though.

    For me, eat out less often and exercise consistently. I lost 50+ lbs. and have kept it off for over 10 years. I also continue to log my food and exercise. It keeps me on track.

    Walk every day. 20 to 30 minutes. It's doable because everyone has a spare half hour. Just do it every day. After about a month when it becomes a habit, you can add another exercise. 2 weeks later, add another. Before you know it, your lifestyle will be one of exercise and your body will be burning everything you put in it.

    I lost my first 40 by
    1. Quit drinking calories = coke
    2. Eat protein with every meal and every snack. Not necessarily huge amounts of protein, just some every time I ate.

    Counting calories has changed everything for me. Now I'm way more mindful, before I didn't even realize how much I was eating.

    For me, nothing worked until I cut the carbs almost down to zero and replaced them with saturated fats from meat and protein from animal products. I feel so much better without the fruits, vegetables, grains, and seed oils. This will be my way of eating forever. I will never go back to eating plants.

    Agree..#1 for me was working on stress management and working on my psyche.

    Of course, we're all different and nothing is a given. My main point was to start out with something easy to build a habit. Then it's easier to add to it. Perhaps I overstated things - yes, it all requires effort, determination, etc.

    But habit is key so focus on that first.
