How tall are you? Do you work out a lot?

I have found older women are able to work out a lot more than younger women due to kids being out of the house. I walk my dog, work full time and have to run my kids around all the time. I don’t have time for a 1-2 hour work out a day. Op here

No. You need to eat a little more at dinner.

For me, yes. It's the only thing that has consistently worked.

I eat one meal a day and that's just to stay at the weight I am at which is already fat by DCUM standards (BMI 23). I would rather eat one good hearty meal, feel full and then fast for the next 22 hours then eat tiny meals all day.

I’m not sure if it’s the goal, but it is the reality for me if I am losing weight. Similar stats, 5’8 145.

I weigh around 120 and am not trying to lose. I like eating and don't like being hungry so I will never be super slender. (I'm 5'4, over 50, in better shape than i was 5 years ago). I certainly know women my age who eat no breakfast, no snacks, no carbs, a salad for lunch and a small dinner. I would kill someone, lol.

Sounds like you have a fast metabolism. Lucky!

Never mind. I just re-read your post and it looks like you workout for an hour and a half every day. That’s not luck!

FWIW I am 5’7” and 145 pounds and in my early 40s. I want to be closer to 130-135 but know it’s probably not realistic. Really just trying not to put any pounds on while I inch toward menopause. If I could lose some weight that would be nice too. Op here
