[quote=Anonymous]I'd say try a consistent calorie/exercise target first. I am over 50 and have lost 12 of the 17 pounds I needed to lose to get back to my wedding day weight over the past three months. I have a 1500 calorie target, but focus on getting protein plus 2-3 fruits/veggie servings at each meal. I'm vegetarian, so breakfast is Greek yogurt with mixed berries or banana and high protein granola, lunch is cottage cheese with tomatoes and avocado, dinner is salad with egg or chickpeas, etc. Snacks are hummus and veggies/crackers, or apple and peanut butter, etc. I have a sweet tooth, so often have dessert and/or chocolate after lunch and dinner. I walk 10-12k/day slowly (mostly strolling with my DH or dogwalking), do a 30-45 min cardio workout, and add 20 min strength/yoga/pilates almost every day.

It's the first time I've stuck to a consistent plan and I feel AMAZING. No more bloating, it's easier to move my body, and my clothes are all loose. I rarely feel hungry and my snack cravings are gone. Wish I'd tried something like this years ago. [/quote]
