even so I am committed. Not going back to 240 at all.

We keep boiled eggs in the house all the time. I'll take out the yolks and fill the space with Sriracha (I like hot stuff).

Have you considered IF?

I find it easier to reduce calories by skipping a meal entirely, and eating a satisfying meal later in the day, rather than eating less at every meal.
There are also some other benefits to fasting, in addition to weight loss. (see links below)

For me, I find it easy to skip breakfast, eat a good lunch and a healthy, late dinner, then not eat from 9PM to Noon (except for morning coffee (black, no sugar)).
Some good reading, HERE (warning: language), HERE and HERE.
And a recent other-gun-forum thread HERE.

Give me something physical to do and I can do it. But routine exercise has been hard to enjoy.

About a year ago I ran into some problems with my back. Caused some real pain, pretty awful.

I discovered that pain is motivating.

Lost 20+ pounds and did PT exercises several times every day. I'm down to a routine now where I'm in the gym 2x/week and exercise at home every day. Mostly stretches and core. Pain is WAY down but not zero. No meds. Avoided surgery so far.
Every time I think about skipping a gym day I remember the pain and get in the car.

I do like taking walks with my wife. We try to walk every day, even if it's just a loop or two around the neighborhood.

I joined the local Citizen Volunteer squad at our PD.... In the warmer weather I'm planning to do bicycle patrols.
Exercise with a purpose feels a lot less like exercise.

If anyone here has any ideas for routine things to do that don't drone on like "exercise", I'm all ears.
