[quote=Anonymous]I'm the same height and age, hitting 146 this year. :( I am trying to get to 130 and have made it to 136 so far. Here are a few ideas:

Like PP I used LoseIt but focus on getting enough protein at each meal. I'm mostly vegetarian, so that means adding beans/cottage cheese/tofu/etc at each meal. I thought protein was a fad but it really does fill me up, so I'm less likely to overeat through mindless snacking. Finding high protein meals I really like and eating them on repeat has helped me stay consistent. If you can meal prep breakfast or lunch, that's another way to set your calories and stick to it.

Check your water intake - I used to eat 300+ calories of snacks while cooking dinner just because I was thirsty. :( Now I fill 3 big water bottles in the morning and make sure to finish one before lunch, one before dinner, one after.

Like PPs, I aim to get 10-12,000 steps a day and include a brisk walk and/or incline. I upped my Apple Watch to target 55 min of exercise a day. I also do 20 min of strength/pilates/yoga 5 days a week and have been really pleased how much stronger and more flexible I feel.

It's so hard to do all of this every day but my mother and MIL gained a lot at 50+ and now face a variety of health problems. Hoping to avoid similar outcomes but the struggle is real.[/quote]
