[quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 and I'm gained about 25 pounds over the past 18 months (currently 160 at 5'6")  Whatever I do, I can't lose the weight and in fact, it keeps creeping on.  At a baseline I eat 1500 calories a day--have done this for about 10 years to maintain my previous weight of 135.
I recently did 6 weeks of intermittent fasting (only eating from 2pm-8pm and keeping it at under 1200 calories).  I gained weight.  I have not exercised in recent years (besides living a non-stop life with 3 kids) but 4 weeks ago I started walking 3 miles a day, 5 days per week religiously.  Back to eating 1500 calories a day.  Have gained about 5 pounds in the month (since I stopped the intermittent fasting).  
I guess I need to cut calories below 1200 and do vigorous exercise but I just can't function well on that little food.  It's difficult for me to go all day at work while hungry, let alone have the ability to exercise vigorously.  Any thoughts?  Am I just beyond hope with a mid 40's metabolic slow-down?
