[quote=Anonymous]59 YO post-menopausal woman here. I have lost 45 lbs so far over 10 months using My Fitness Pal, changing my diet into something that is both manageable and significantly less caloric, and drastically increasing my exercise. Notes:

- MFP suggests 1480 calories a day for my deficit. I usually consume between 1300 and 1600 now that I have more or less figured out my exercise (I give myself a little allowance, but definitely do not extensively take advantage of the extra calories burned)
- I do brisk walking, swimming, Pilates, yoga, and some weights. My active exercise time (time where I am literally working out, not the active minutes my watch indicates) is usually 75-120 minutes a day and 500-1000 calories. (It helps to be retired)
- my biggest dietary changes have been logging everything, diligent portion control, eating a lot of protein for breakfast (and consistently eating breakfast), and sadly, elimination of most cheese from my diet.
- The first 20-25 lbs is the easiest. I find I have more fluctuation at this point, but I am continuing to lose.

I am looking to lose around 30 lbs more. I regularly remind myself that it took me awhile to get to the weight I don’t want to be, and it will take awhile to get back to my optimal weight. But it’s worth it. I feel so much better and it’s great to feel so good about exercise.

Good luck![/quote]
