[quote=Anonymous]Given your age, I would at least check the thyroid.

I gained 13 lbs in four months at age 39 for no apparent reason.  My eating habits hadn't worsened and my exercise habits hadn't changed.  (I'm a daily exerciser, almost no exceptions, and a fairly serious runner.)  I also had recently moved and was walking even more than usual.

I did in fact have a thyroid issue.  I started medication for it a couple of years later (when I finally got tired of feeling tired all the time) and the weight is very, VERY slowly coming off.  I'm not someone who likes depriving myself, so I don't really diet.

One caution about the drastic calorie restriction: it doesn't leave you anywhere to go as you get older.  I'm in my late 40's and can still eat 2,500 calories/day (sometimes more) and maintain weight.  I've never drastically restricted calories, unlike most of my friends, and the difference in what we can eat is pretty significant.  I like not having to count every single calorie.[/quote]
