[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 48 and lost 30+ pounds in about 5 months without counting calories (although I know I have been eating more than 1200 on most days).   According to an online calculator, my BMR is 1200.

I spend 6 hours a week on the treadmill, which usually tells me I burned 550 calories per session (brisk pace, high incline). I am otherwise pretty sedentary. I try to eat between 11 and 7 (not strict), cut added sugar, and make sure I don't drink any calories.

I wasn't overweight because I am middle aged. I was overweight because I ate too much crap and wasn't exercising. So it was relatively easy to drop my BMI from 27 to under 22. I want to lose another 5+ pounds and will probably have to be pretty restrictive to do it.[/quote]

That is pretty much me, and I would suspect a lot of folks. Clearly the hormonal changes do not help but it still comes down to making better food choices and moving more for most people.

I could stand to los another 5-10 pounds, I am at the top of the height range for my height and age but I am not going to stress over it. Just keep doing what I have been doing and maybe it comes off but if it doesn't, it doesn't. [/quote]
