[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again checking back in.  So the 5lbs seems here to say. It sucks.  If I go a couple of weeks no carbs, no sugar, IF, I can lose a few pounds and maybe get back to 134.  Otherwise, it is here to stay and maybe even creeping a bit. It is just so jarring because I have weighed the same for 30 years.  I do yoga daily and walks 2-3 a week but have not yet done weight lifting.  I am just not sure I can do deprivation diet at this point. I still have my busy life of work and kids so a drastic change to diet is just not happening right now. I retire in 5 years and maybe then I will have more time to do more focused dieting.

OP I’m sure you’ve heard this, but weight loss happens in the kitchen. Sure you could add weight lifting - that would be a great idea at your age. But I’m guessing that your diet needs fine tuning not a drastic unsustainable sprint. IF or restricting will not get you where you want to go - if anything they will slow your metabolism and make matters worse. I’d recommend working with a dietician to evaluate how many calories you really need, track your food via LoseIt or My Fitness Pal (it takes 5 minutes a day) and adjust your macros to prioritize protein. Getting a Dexa or InBody scan would give you a good baseline.[/quote]
