Hi.
I am new here and was excited to find this site and app. I am over 50 and it seems my weight goes up exponentially with my age! I workout about 4 days a week, eat mostly healthy (although I do indulge myself occasionally), and I just keep gaining weight even though I am not doing anything differently. I understand plateaus, but this is ridiculous! I just started tracking my food intake yesterday and was surprised that I really didn't eat as many calories as I thought. I have a Dr. appointment at the end of the month to check out my hormones and such, but if I keep gaining weight until then I am afraid I won't have anything to wear;-)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
