[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to lose 10 lbs, but 15 would be ideal. I can typically drop the weight fairly easily over 8-10 weeks if I restrict my calories (My Fitness Pal recommends 1310 per day for me to lose 1-2 lbs per week) but the second I stop restricting I just gain it all back slowly over the next 2 months. Want to end this vicious cycle without having to count cals for the rest of my life.

A few things about me:
- 45 yo woman in the throes of perimenopause 
- between working long hours and have 3  kids don’t have much spare time 
- I don’t eat breakfast. I have coffee with  with a little half and half until about noon when I have lunch

Open to any and all ideas.[/quote]

I'm your age and peri is just not that big of a deal. I eat 1200 cals a day most days a week, I might go up to 1500cals for 1 day. I work out 6-7 days a week for 1-2 hours. Pilates, power yoga, barre, abs class, and walking 1-3 miles a day. I do not lift weights but I do body weight exercises like pull ups (I can do 7 in a row), pushups, dips, handstands, ect.

I also do not usually eat breakfast but have tea and a green juice. I generally don't want to eat food until about an hour after my workouts, so around 12-1pm. Then dinner (can be at 6-7pm) and that's it.[/quote]
