in Health and Weight Loss
Hi everyone

I'm at my initial goal of 25 kg lost, but have decided I want to drop another 5kg. What did you do differently, if anything, when it came to shedding the last little bit? Am I best to just keep on at TDEE - 20%, raise it a little (I did raise it already but have been ill and in Asia since I raised it and so have no idea if the weight loss I've had since is due to that or what) or mix it up entirely?

I don't really mind how long it takes, I just want to make sure it happens. I'll naturally be upping excercise anyway as we're moving into summer in my country and I spend half of that in the water :)

    I did a calorie restricted version of IF for weight loss. Didn't change anything until I hit goal-lost at a steady pace every week and never plateaued. After hitting goal I decided to experiment with different things and had a wild and wacky spring/summer of trying things like paleo, all the way to the other end of the spectrum with dabbling in a vegan diet. That all, along with adding in walking and then a bit of running, caused further weight loss and I'm now currently over 15lbs below my original goal weight. My weight is finally settling down and I've been maintaining pretty steadily within a 3lb range the past couple months. I don't count calories/track anything but now focus on eating a mostly whole foods, plant based diet along with 18/6 IF.

    I didn't chose my current weight, my body did :)

    interesting. None of those options are practical or appropriate for me personally, but I like the idea of my body settling. My current weight is actually my initial goal weight, but I'd like to drop another 5kg before i'm 'done'
