[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been slim all my life until the last few years. Now I'm 5'3" and 162 pounds. Yikes! Mostly i the mid section.

I've increased fruit/veggies, cut back on stuff like pasta.  Cut down (not out) alcohol. I've increased workouts. I do 3 days/week and have one of those under the desk fit elipticals at work (just for movement and burning some calories).  I have only dropped a couple of pounds.

In the past, when I was younger, that would result in weight loss.  Not now.  Any advice? I've considered that I need to cut more calories and maybe upping my workout intensity? Due to work, activities, etc., I'm not really able to get to the gym or go for runs of any distance other than 3 days/week. Sometimes, I can squeeze in a 4th.[/quote]

Keep it up OP. It'll drop off eventually. I'm your height and I lost 8lbs since turning 40 last summer. Down to 122lbs. For me, approaching 40 was when I made permanent diet changes. And what helped me is I set fitness goals- I trained for and ran the cherry blossom 10 miler this past April. And I've started biking to work and participated th DC area bike rides. I can only squeeze in lunch time workouts 3days/week and early one weekend morning. Good luck! Where there's a will, there's a way. [/quote]
