[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 41.  i've gained 10 pounds while eating the same, working out the same.  it is so frustrating.  ANd I can't lose it.  ugh[/quote]

track calories.
eat in a deficit. 
it's pretty simple, not easy, because eating less and doing it consistently enough to make progress is hard, but it's also not impossible. 
at 41 I finally lost the weight I "couldn't" lose for the last 6 yrs. I was finally honest with myself that even though I ate healthy I was simply eating too much. [/quote]

Yes, my ob-gyn mentioned she lost weight easily once she was more attentive to portion sizes. I'm trying to retrain myself in that respect, and focus on healthy, whole foods. Starting to see a difference and really not painful at all. No fad diets necessary. Staying active is necessary. Do something every single day, even if it's just taking a 20 min walk.  [/quote]

Exactly. No fad diet needed just watch calories. People are great at over estimating calories they burn and underestimating calories eaten.

Everyone always claims they gained weight out of nowhere without changing anything. But unless you have a medical condition your metabolism does not change that quickly. Over time people tend to be less active and portions tend to grow. I have always exercised, but my daily activity definitely changed from my 30's to 40's. I went from having young children that I was constantly chasing around, pushing in the stroller and doing everything for at home. To having older kids who aren't physically demanding and can go out and play by themselves. I think people gain weight as they age because their lifestyle does change, they just don't realize it.
