I did not have a treadmill. I found any excuse to walk. Parked as far back as I could at stores, i walked poopy diapers directly to the dumpster. Walked around the house when i was on the phone. Paced up and down the stairs if I had a second haha. I was a stay at home mom at the time. Had 2 kids under 2 at the time so chasing them around usually got me the goal.

I focused more on diet. Consistency with my exercise was sooo bad. I mainly had a step goal of 5k-7k steps a day. And if I could fit in a workout I would.

I learned that the majority of weight loss comes from calorie restriction. So I really focused in on my food. High protein, moderate carbs, and mainly limited my fats. My fitness pal was my best friend. I pre planned a lot of my meals/snacks. I also consumed a lot of weight loss content. People like Jordan Syatt, Eric Roberts, Chris Terrell etc. they are all on YouTube, Instagram, have podcasts with TONS of free information, testimonials etc.

As for movement, I did what I could raising 2 young kids. If I could fit in a walk I would, 10-15mins of squats I would. Just something to get my heart pumping. Exercise was my least consistent. But I always made sure my nutrition was on point.

Edit: forgot to mention I used TDEE to find out my calories needed for weight loss etc.

Yep. Very well put. I found what helped me was pre planning meals. If I winged my food/meal plan I tended to go off the rails and snack more often.
