[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 with two little kids. I've never had a super fast metabolism but I've found that if I track calories, I lose weight. As other PPs have pointed out, track calories and weigh your food. Pre-plan what you're going to eat - even if that just means quickly inputing your food for the day into Myfitnesspal while you drink your coffee in the morning. I'm not a meal planner AT ALL but I usually manage to plan one day at a time.

You don't mention your current weight (or maybe I missed it) and your height. For me, I'm short and my slow weight loss calorie target is 1420 a day. I'm aiming for .5 lbs a week because I know I'll freak out if I only eat 1200 a day. It's just me. Because I often go slightly under that amount each day, I am free to eat more on Saturday or Sunday. I do this so I don't feel too deprived and I can do it long-term.[/quote]

OP here - I'm 5 foot 6 and 165 pounds, goal weight 145 pounds (was there pre-pregnancy)[/quote]

stick to 1450-1650 calories/day, consistently for a month and you will lose weight. I'd also aim for &gt;100g of protein. [/quote]
