Im interested in anecdata, but think more information is needed to make it useful. What is your height and current weight back up to?

I have found pretty big differences in response even across short timescales. I was able to shed 30 lbs last year with severe calorie restriction(240>210). This year my 5'11" body is not so cooperative (220>???).

I am 185cm (6'1") and around 100kg (220lbs) now. I think my BMI is edging towards obesity or even there at this point so I def need to shed some weight.

Exercise seems to be a no brainer even without a weight concern but I’ve been a lazy fuck all my life when it comes to that so I hoped a calorie deficit would work as well again.
