[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’ve had success losing weight at age 45+, how did you do it?

I walk/run 10k steps almost every day and eat fairly healthy, but the weight is not coming off and I feel like my belly fat/mom pooch is getting worse. What else should I be doing?

I have struggled with my weight since beginning anxiety meds in 2016 and have gone from a size 2 to size 10/12. Would love to stop the anxiety meds but not sure I can manage without them.

Appreciate any suggestions.

[/quote]I had to significantly decrease my calorie intake.  Reduce by 700 calories a day.  I did this and I am currently eating about 1200 -1300 cal a day and I am losing a little less than 2 pounds a week (knocking on 25 pounds lost since new year). I am larger than you.  I also walk the 10k and have since before fitbits.    I fully expect the weight loss to taper off and I will be eating 1200 cal for the rest of my life.

I have always eaten less and exercised more than my peers and have always been 2-3 sizes larger. This was evident when I went to college and it hasn’t changed in nearly 40 years.  My genes are valuable during famine but a curse in abundance.  [/quote]
