Hello! So I'm a 5'4" 31 year old female, 150lbs and looking to lose 10-15lbs but finding it so difficult and slow.
I eat 1200 calories each week day and 1400-1500 on Saturdays. I weigh and track my food religiously and generally, although I do love food, I find it quite easy to stick to 1200. However, I'm not seeing any success on the scale (been doing this solidly for a month now) and have been told my calories might still be too high.
I already feel fairly low energy on my current calories so don't want to cut further at this stage. However, I have mobility issues and most forms of cardio are not possible for me to do safely or even properly. I walk every day because I don't have a car but this only amounts to dog walks and walking to the train station for work, however walking very long distances can be difficult for me. Without wishing to go into too much detail about my physical health, it would also be unsafe for me to lift very heavy weights.
Are there any exercises that could truly help with my daily CICO? I was thinking maybe Pilates and yoga, and I can do gentle weight training at home. I have a mini stepper too but have been advised on other subreddits that these are not effective?
Any advice would be appreciated as I'm quite new to this! I realise I may be coming off as having a negative attitude, but it's simply that I've spent my life pretending not to have mobility problems in order to fit in and have then ended up seriously injuring myself, and I don't want to do that anymore. But I also want to do things that are within my capability.
ETA: I do try to keep an eye on my protein intake, I'm also willing to drop my calories further if that is the only solution - would just like to look at other options first.
