I have been in a 3 week stall. Reviewed my tracking. It turns out I have been eating 1000-1100 calories per day. I am starving myself just because I have not been hungry. Today I have meal planned and am eating 1500 calories today. I will increase more later this week. I have lost 152 lbs in 58 weeks but still have about 50 lbs to go. I am 66 years old and healing from surgery so I am pretty sedentary right now.

The only issue is that if you鈥檙e a menopausal woman, just cutting calories will not help you lose weight. I know from experience. I also had to add in strength training 4-5 times a week, walking everyday, HRT, taking vitamins and peptides. I also had to cut out alcohol and I only drink caffeine once a week. You鈥檙e right about more protein intake but it has to go along with other factors when you鈥檙e a menopausal woman.

I lost 35 pounds last year. My biggest mindset change was that it wasn't a race and there was no date set to reach my goal. As long as the trend was down, I just kept plugging along.

I like your reminder that any extra weight didn't come on overnight, so we shouldn't expect to lose it overnight

At 56 I changed my diet completely. Protein veggies and some carbs. I have severe chronic pain so my exercise is a 30 min walk<br>most days. I lost 63lbs and have kept it off 3 years doing exactly same thing.

Thank you! Simple math=simple plan. Lost 12lbs since the beginning of the year due to illness. Not the healthy way at all but now that I'm here, I'm in it to make real, healthy progress. I've recently found your page and your videos have been just what I need! I'll be trying a 350 calorie deficit and go from there. Thank you!

I lost 25lbs last year with a more aggressive 500cal deficit. I now only have 5-10 more lbs to lose. I took a break for the holidays and ate at maintenance.and I am now doing a smaller deficit of 200-300cals. I've already lost 5lbs since the new year!
