My name is Jody. I'm age 55 and live in New York. I am 5 feet tall. Well I have returned to MFP today after maintaining my weight for a long time except this year lol. I gain so easily, even being on a low-dose thyroid medicine for 2+ years. I'm at 128 and would like to get back down to at least 115 again. It's time to be accountable and log my foods. I work out almost every day doing weight training and some cardio on other days. It's very hard to lose anything because I hate restricting, but I'm continuing to eat a healthy lifestyle and if I do need to have a cheat day once per week, I will, as long as I keep it low. I eat 6 small meals a day (300 calories each meal) for a total of 1,200 calories. I do mostly low-carb diet but still eat potatoes, low-carb bread, etc. WISH ME LUCK! I hope everyone is doing well! Please feel free to add me if you are active on MFP so that we can keep each other accountable and motivate one another!

Just wanted to say "Hi" as another female named Jody with a y. It's so uncommon! Nice to meet you. Looks like you have a solid plan for your height.1

Hi Jody! That's funny because I sometimes say I'm Jody with a Y to people too haha. Yes well I always seem to go back to 115 no matter what I guess it's my body's memory and comfort. I feel okay at 115. I also like 111 lol 109, 108, 102 and 97 are what i was a few times (97 was when I graduated HS at age 18) but anything below 111 makes me look older and not healthy.0

Welcome back.
I'm not a math genius but what you posted equals 1800 calories per day not 1500.
6 small meals a day (300 calories each meal) 6x300= 1800.1 -
oh shoot LOL you're right! LOL . okay so 300 each meal (900) plus two 150 calorie snacks. Thanks! LOL1
