[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised by well off, smart people. My mom cooked healthy meals every day and I was in organized sports from a very early age. Because of family money I have a hobby job teaching yoga. Being raised fit and healthy makes it natural to stay fit and healthy, and retiring young meant that I could avoid the trap of sitting at a desk in my late 40s and 50s when the middle aged spread seems to take over [/quote]

I, too, was raised by smart parents who worked hard and made themselves well off. My father was always slim and fit looking yet rarely formally exercised (he was a fanatic about walking everywhere - lived in nyc so did walk a lot) and my mother was always chubby, although she played regular tennis and raquetball and belonged to a gym, so presumably she was fit, too, although to look at my parents you'd have assume my father was the one who exercised more.

My sisters and I were thin as kids/teens, but all 3 of us never lost all of the "baby weight" after having kids, and now in our mid-50s and post menopausal the spread has only gotten worse. I eat healthy, mostly home cooked whole food meals, lean proteins, lots of veggies, little alcohol. I run 3x/week, do pilates 2x/week, and try to walk a lot. I'm still overweight.

To lose and keep off weight, I need to eat very little - probably akin to what a PP said she does, eat one meal per day of lean protein and veggies and then a light snack later. But I don't want to live that way - I like to have yogurt and fruit and toast at breakfast - a salad with lean protein at lunch - a reasonable dinner, often lean protein and veggies but sometimes pasta or beef - a few bites of dessert if we go out to dinner - etc. In my opinion that all shouldn't be unreasonable (and yes, I know it adds up, and I watch for that) but I m overweight by eating like this.
