I'm just tired that's all.

@bobbi55, welcome back .

I see you have been a member of MFP for a few years. This means you know how to count calories.
It is making it a habit, like brushing your teeth, washing your hands, that takes time. Once you get into it, and have good entries for your most commonly eaten foods, it becomes much more manageable.

Start by just logging what you eat. No deficit, just honest logging of your food- weighed with a digital scale.

Once you have done that for a couple of weeks start looking at what you eat, when you eat, why you eat, and what you can change.

Next, see how many calories you neeed to maintain, that will probably be a bit less than you are eating now, and make some small changes- this can be a smaller portion of food or switching out a high calorie salad dressing for a lower one.

After that make your deficit at .5 lbs a week, that is 250 calories a day less than your maintenance. Again make small changes.

Keep dropping your intake by .5 lbs a week until you are at a calorie level that you can live with (max 2 lbs a week) long term.

Don't exclude foods unless they are trigger foods, do include the things you love- even if you have to have a smaller portion or limit how many days they will fit into your goal.

Make it a happy experience. In your profile you talk about having a grand child, work that into the joy of weight loss. I love that I can roll around with my grandson, give him piggybacks, chase him around the park, etc etc and not have to worry.

You also mentioned aqua fit. Are you still doing it? If not, try to start back at it. It is a great workout offering cardio, resistance work, and improvements in balance, flexibility, and mobility. All good things as we age.
Walk too.

And remember to eat back at least a portion of your exercise calories (MFP is set up for you to do that- your deficit is in your base calories). Eating them back keeps your energy levels up and prevents lethargy.

Make sure you get plenty of protein too. MFP is a minimum. As we age we need ou protein for good bone and muscle health. (Aim for .8 of your ideal weight. Mid range for your height on a BMI calculator.

You have shown you have commitment and dedication by raising a family and holding the same job for over 3 decades, now apply that to this important endeavour - your health.

Sorry this was so long and sounds a little complicated. Take baby steps and stick with it- it is so worth it.

Cheers, h.
