[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title says it all.

I’m 5’4” and 154lbs. This is the most I’ve weighed ever, and even in pregnancy I only weighed max 163lbs.

I’d like to get down to below 140lbs. I know menopause isn’t helping but until recently I’ve always been below 140lbs.

I’m 51. I’m on hrt and lexapro and those aren’t changing. I also lift weights w a class 3 times a week and walk about 7500 steps a day on average.

I hate my measurements. I’m 39-36-41. Yes that waist measurement is right. 
 
[b]I’ve tried tracking my food but I never get past about the 3rd week. [/b]I generally think I need to eat like 1700 calories total and follow a macros (higher protein and fiber, low carbs diet) but not sure what else.

What am I missing? [/quote]

You are missing consistency. To lose weight you need to [b]consistently[/b] eat in a calorie deficit. Contrary to what online before and after's will show you losing weight takes much longer than you'd expect. You won't lose 2 lbs a week, but more like 0.5-1lbs.  To get to 140 lbs you need to eat between 1400 and 1680 cal on a consistent basis. That means hitting that range at least 80-90 % of the time or 6 days a week. [/quote]
