About to be 42 next month and gained 15 pounds in 2 years..ugh! The struggle is real. It seemed so much easier when I was younger to lose weight. This time it's just a little slower! It just seems like I'm hungry more

Great post!

Yep I do that. If you don't mind what does you're routine look like and how long?

I'll check out nerd fitness because I don't go to the gym. Thanks!

That sounds good! Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not alone!

I would try different foods. Some more protein and veggies and fruit. Hope that helps

Yep!

Sounds good! That's what I'm gonna do

I am going to try to cut out the sugar because that does seem to set me on a rampage...and refined carbs!

Lol! Will do!

That's definitely what I'm going do. Might be slower weight loss but I will stick with it

Trust me I've been there. You cant exercise away the pounds. You have to count all the calories and make sure you don't go over! I was at 190 and lost 40 pounds through eating a little less and working out like crazy. When I hit 150 no weight loss forever till I cut back my calories. Then the other 25 pounds came off about…

I know the feeling!

I thought about the same thing about doing just maintenance calories also. So that's my plan so I don't get discouraged! Thanks for the advice!

Glad I'm not alone! It's sooo frustrating! I will try to deal with hunger pangs:/

I find myself that when I eat a good bit of sugar I am starving later! Took me forever to figure that out

Now I weigh 144!

Good advice..might have to give up the sweets for awile. I used to weight around 125-130 and since I hit 40 2 years ago the pounds starting coming!

I think that will happen to me too. My whole problem is 2 weeks before my cycle I am starving!! Ugh.. I just got to get it under control somehow.

Ok gotcha! Thanks

Ok I think I get it... I'm allowed only 1200 per day but if I work out I can have 1385.

Oh ok! I put in losing 1 pound a week. Sorry for sounding dumb but what does eat back exercise calories mean?
