As some followers know, I am resetting my metabolism which prevented me from dropping the weight no matter how much exercise i did and by eating 250-500 calories less. This is normal after weeks of dieting. I had been almost a year. I just read that every decade our BMR is lowered by 150. At 20, we could eat what we wanted....2200 minus 600 is 1600. 40 years later. It's no wonder we get the middle age spread. Claiming myself to be sedentary and maintaining my weight at 62 i get 1700 calories, which seems to be right because I am holding steady with almost that. However I do walk 3 miles a day and do a low impact cardio session every day, another 440 calories.(which does not seem to count, but is important to overall health) It is nice to eat some things as a treat but I have come to realize that because eating nutritiously is my goal, treats only lower my standard. I found I do not need all this food. I eat 3 square meals a day and a snack every day. I leave a 100 calorie deficit a day so I can have a few drinks on the weekend. I do not feel hungry or deprived even when I was on a 1200 k plan (no drinks though)
So I will eat and hope that I can maintain at 1800 which would be quite satisfactory. Then I will decide if and how much more weight to lose. The spare tire still needs to go in spite of being at a healthy weight now.
This is my experience, my plan at present with realistic expectations. I would love to hear from others who have gone through this and how they dealt with it. I am sure I am not the only one to hit a brick wall.
