[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Checking your weight every day is counterproductive. I've found that I have to eat less to maintain my weight in my 50s----like skipping lunch or breakfast entirely. Consider adding resistance training to your exercise routine.[/quote]

Same.   I never eat breakfast anymore, unless you count coffee with a splash of milk.   Lunch is a small portion of leftovers or crackers with peanut butter and fruit.  Dinner is normal as before but no dessert.  I used to be able to eat 2 breakfast tacos; lunch was sandwich smothered in mayo with chips and fruit; dinner same as now, plus a bowl of icecream.  That was 10 years ago.  Now much less food and 12 lbs heavier.  Plus I have to take thyroid medication now.  Hormonal changes really change your metabolism as you get older.  It's not just calories in calories out anymore.  Sleep also impacts hormones.

Btw- I'm also 5'4" and 127lbs.  I look ok, maybe even good for 50.  If I can maintain this, I'd be happy.  I've put my 112-115lbs days in my past.  [/quote]
