[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]

You need to focus on maintenance  and find your maintenance calories. if you need 2000 calories to maintain say 150 lbs then lost 15 lbs so you are now 135, if you go back to eating 2000 cal then you will go back to weighing 150 lbs. When you stop restricting slowly add back calories. until you notice you are maintaining your weight. This will take some time. [/quote]
