F/40/5’8/SW230/GW165 - 1500 calories, friends?

Hi! I’ve done MFP multiple times before and am recommitting myself after a rough 6 months or so. Had a health scare that is now ok and I want to get back to a healthy weight more than ever! I’m looking for some friends with around the same calorie goals as me. I used to be really into things like Whole 30/Paleo, not now I eat more broadly. I try to generally stay healthy, but also incorporate some treats/alcohol. I used to go to spin a couple times a week and to a class at 24 hr once a week, but all that has changed since the pandemic, and I’m currently struggling with getting back into workouts at home/walking. Please add me if I sound like someone you could connect with, thank you! :)

    I'm friending you so I can see what you eat, no kidding! My allowance is 1610 and I'm hungry all the damn time. I distinctly remember counting calories in 2011 and being satisfied on 1200, but you need more to function if you're heavier, so that must be the difference.
