I lost 12 lbs over 4.5 months, but now the scale isn't budging. I eat only twice a day - a small breakfast and small lunch at 3 PM. I walk 3.7 miles. What can I do to reset? I feel like I can't cut down more on food and don't have the time to do more exercise. I want to lose another 10 lbs which would bring me close to my ideal body weight for height. I am in my mid-40s and want to lose weight for health reasons. Any pointers appreciated.

Congrats on the 12 pounds!! No advice other than to speak with someone who specializes here (nutritionist, personal trainer etc).
Juice and bone broth for a few days
thanks, didnt know that this was a thing....guess shouldn't workout on these days?
NP. I feel like juice is not a great choice in most circumstances?
@Anonymous juice could be substituted with veggies, a fruit and water?
Ok, so sounds like you're doing intermittent fasting if you ingesting calories from 3pm to 8am. So that would be 16/8. For me (age and body type), 16:8 will allow me to maintain a weight, but I won't really lose. I think it's always best to keep your body guessing. Would you consider changing to 19:5 for a week and doing OMAD (one meal a day). Change it up and just do dinner each night for 7 days and see if that kick starts anything.
thank you for this idea, will try it :)
Small breakfast/small lunch may be putting your body into starvation mode which is slowing down your metabolism. how many calories are you eating a day?
