[quote=Anonymous]I’m 46 for another two months and gained 4 pounds over the past year. I started with my usual tricks of eliminating snacking and increasing exercise and those did nothing. Once I began religiously tracking my calories and limited myself to 1200 + a couple hundred exercise calories depending on what my fitness pal said that day, the weight began to come off. I have limited calories at points in the past and realized while I was tracking this time that I had been *way* over eating. If you are weighing your food and tracking accurately, and still not losing weight at 1200 cal, then I will probably head in for some blood work.

There has been something about all of this time at home that I think drove many of us to eat more than we typically did. At least, that’s what happened to me. Personally, I did not find it any harder to lose weight this time than I had in the past even though I am well into perimenopause. I find that I need to be pretty hungry in order to lose weight. And if I attack it before I get over 5 pounds then it can be corrected quickly. I’m in maintenance now at 1600 cal a day and realizing that’s not a whole lot of food either.

I recommend using my fitness pal and good luck to you.[/quote]
