Oh you are suddenly experiencing mid life weight gain and it really is much more difficult to lose than when you were younger. My experience, at 63, has taught me that instead of over eating you may well be under eating, believe it or not. Looking at your meals shows me that, based on my experience, you are not eating enough protein. I am 5'2 and my ideal weight for a size 4 - 6 is 130 lbs. so at your height and weight you are so not overweight!!! I found to lose weight I needed to have an average of 1200 calories a day, have low fat protein with all meals and limit fruit which is high in sugar. Good luck!!View Thread
