[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 45 and had an easy time with my weight until the past 18 mos.  I am 5’4” and normally weighed around 110.  I gained 12 lbs in the past 18 mos.  i think it is hormones shifting and making me feel hungrier/eat more than I used to eat. I was eating about 1900-2000 calories a day most of my life.  I exercise an hour a day 5-6 days a week.

My question is if I go to the 1200 calorie a day plan, can I lose 12 lbs?  And once I am there, can I go up to 1500 a day to maintain it?  Or will I have reset my metabolism and any increase will just lead to more weight gain?[/quote]

At 45, if you are 5'4 and weigh 122, you seem super skinny.  At 45 I was about 133.  I was pretty slim.  I work out ALOT.  At 50, my weight really is inching up.  I am obsessed with it.  I am now 139 and work like hell to keep it there.  The only good thing is that I still only wear a size 6.  Thank God for muscle memory.  I never thought that I would be one of those people who gained weight at 50.  Ha!  Boy was I wrong.[/quote]
