Woohoo Fitness Goals!

Hello!

First of, I wanted to tell you a little about myself and my fitness goals 

I am 5'5, weigh 165, and am looking to lose 20 lb in 2026 to reach my goal weight of 145 with 25% body fat. I want to lose 1 pound per week of fat with as little muscle loss as possible.

Currently, I am waking up at 6am (sometimes 6:30) and I have about 20 minutes to do yoga, stretch &/or walk before getting ready for work.  I want to start going to bed at 10pm so I'm not so tired. 

I get around 4,000-5000 steps at work. My goal for 2026 is to have an average of  at least 7-8k steps, to start off with. I also go to the gym 2-4 times per week. I do a "bro split:" push/pull/legs Mon, Wed, Fri or if I have to miss a day upper/lower. Saturday I do a long walk and we play in the pool. I try to do easy yoga at least 2 days a week 

My calorie goals are about 1500 per day, high protein. I eat 2 meals and one snack per day. I drink collagen or protein shake in the morning.

Goal: Lose 20 lb in ~20 weeks and keep it off

Rate: 1 lb/week (healthy + sustainable)

Daily calories: ~1500, high protein

Movement: at least 7–8k steps/day average

Lifestyle: Wake 6am, bed 10pm, 2 meals + 1 snack, collagen/protein in the morning while fasting

6am-6:30am - Morning Movement

M/W/F: Light, easy yoga
