Hi all, I'm feeling much better now and, although I've got my appetite back, I'm still not eating that much, which has shown in the weight loss this week. It's definitely about how much you consume!
It's soup season in our house - my husband has made chicken soup and cauliflower soup this week and is planning to make broccoli and blue cheese next - this is definitely helping me get an easy, satisfying meal that is nutritious and not too filling, and, I believe, is good for the insides and weight loss.
It's our anniversary today, 22 years married, 32 together. We went out last night and I thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican meal, washed down with margaritas, that we had.

A little late into about me:
I'm Scottish, live in Czechia, teach English, design and make things to sell online, did stained glass and jewellery but doing digital images and print-on-demand now, and I like collecting sea glass whenever I get a holiday by the beach.
I'm in my 50s and have the usual weight and flab problems for this age. Getting to this body-change-age during the covid lockdowns had a huge impact on my activity levels and weight gain and now I'm struggling to get back to what feels normal.
I joined F2F last November and was doing really well, full of motivation, then went backwards. Anyway, I'm still here, still need the support network and hope I can play a part in supporting you too.

What and how little you
consume aids weight loss.
How much you exercise and
how you do it aids health.

I've just read this and, having seen my inactivity versus low consumption recently, this makes sense. I've been on-board with the eat less than you use method for a while now (rather than trying to burn off excess to compensate). Yes, I lapsed, but it definitely seems like a habit-forming sustainable way for the long term.

Thanks for that very informative article @BodyTalking !! This is exactly what I’ve found with my body for years and years! The first time I tried to lose weight I had no time for exercise other than whatever walking I naturally did all day. I simply followed a reduced calorie plan and lost the 25 extra pounds I had been carrying without any official extra exercise.
Even now, with this new WONDERFUL group we have here I have found that I need to stick to less than 1500 calories of food intake regardless of how much exercise I do or don’t do. I never assume my extra calories burned doing exercise or walking allow me extra food. Ideally, it’s very simple for me. At my age, 64, if I simply stayed under 1500 calories every single day I’ll lose weight. The key phrase is “every single day”.
My personal issue is I let my total calorie intake creep up to 1800-1900 calories some days of the week and several days of the week I’m under the 1500 calories, hence the slow weight loss or sometimes slight weight gain.
But, again, I know not to count any of my exercise calories earned as part of my weight loss. I know I do it just for all the health benefits.
Thanks again @BodyTalking!1 -

Thanks @daria0919 it's good to know that it really does work for you but, yes, every day - that's the hard part. It's so easy to go over. I'm trying to stick to two main meals a day, leaving any snacks or drinks as my third 'meal' quota. I also feel that the calories in needs to be low to make a difference on the scales. I hadn't worked out just how much, so your figure makes sense.1

I forgot to weigh in this morning, I ate and did some hard yard work and then when I got home, I was going to weigh in. I didn't stand on the scale for it to lock in my weight, all I saw was up like 6lbs or something so idk if that is true, I HOPE NOT so I am skipping my weigh in today and will weigh in next week!3

With reference to what I posted earlier, I said I hadn't worked out the calories I needed to make a change. That wasn't quite true, I had calculated the numbers below but I haven't managed to get the ideal number that works for me.
Caloric needs based on BMR and activity levels:
▪️General maintenance caloric needs [me]: Body weight lb [177] x 15 = 2655
Aim for 1655 to 2155 caloric consumption
🔹BMR for adult female [me]: 1975
655 + 761 + 315 - 244= 1975
655 + (4.3 x weight lb [177]= 761.1) + (4.7 x height inch [67]= 314.9) – (4.7 x age [52]= 244.4) = BMR 1975.4
