[quote=Anonymous]5' 8" and between 122-125# in my early 40's after two kids.  I was heavier in my early to mid 20's before revamping my diet (between 130-148#).  My mom was not thin so it's just not genetics.
The key to my success is eating very healthfully but not obsessing about low calorie or low fat foods.  I don't keep track of what I eat.  I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies, whole grains, and no meat except fish.  I eat very little dairy.  I eat sweets in moderation so I don't feel deprived.  If I get a craving that doesn't pass, I eat one serving of it.  I may have a glass of wine here and there.  I don't like to drink my calories so no juices.  I do water down lemonade or drink unsweetened ice tea.
I have found that diet plays a much bigger role than exercise.  I was an avid runner before but since having my second child, I can't really run.  I walk 2-3x/ week and that's it.  I am planning on adding weight training soon for health reasons.  
I have found that my shift to being healthy instead of being thin combined with my dropping the dairy and the meat except fish naturally led to the weight loss. [/quote]
