[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gained about 25 pounds over the last several years with perimenopause and would really like to lose at least half of it.  I’d using LoseIt and my calorie targets to lose 1 pound a week are 1380 calories.  I’m also trying to hit 68 G protein and 20 g fiber a day.  This week is the first week I’ve hit my protein and fiber targets, but I averaged 1550 calories.  I guess I could do it with lower calories but I’d have to be so focused on what I eat….i just can’t do it.  At 1400 calories, I was at about 55 G protein and 17 f fiber, but I don’t think I was even losing anything at the 1400 calories.

I guess at least I’m trying.[/quote]

Can you tell us what you were eating at 1400 and maybe we can help you tweak the meals? [/quote]

I think I could tweak the meals myself, but it's just hard -- feels like I would need to REALLY just focus on that, which is just so hard to sustain.  I'm shopping and cooking for teens, which makes life a bit harder.  I am doing the tricks like cutting the carb in half and doubling up the vegetable in whatever I make for them, and lunch tends to be my healthiest meal -- unless I have to eat a work-provided lunch, in which case it all falls apart again.  We had lunch at work last week, and what was offered was basically four different carbohydrates.  
I guess I'd be happy if I end up losing 1/2 pound a week, but so far for the month of January, I haven't lost anything at all, averaging about 1500 calories per day.  [/quote]
