It may be time for a new approach and a reboot of some kind. I have no idea what that would look like. I suspect your body has gotten use to the WOE and exercise regiment you've been on for a long time. If you're like me changing up is really difficult. I'm pushing 60 and ain't throwing in the towel, so if I have a few years on you, you shouldn't toss it in either. Swing for the fences.

I'm almost 50! Feels strange even typing it but it does the body good to change what you're doing every once in a while. Don't give up try a different approach. We're all rooting for you!

I think our body hits a set point after the first few pounds. If we stay patient it will start dropping again !!

You got this💪 Maybe switch something up? Maybe motivation to log again? Coming from someone who gained 8 lbs or more in 2 days🤦🏻♀️

Water weight is deceiving. I can go up or down 3 lbs. in ONE day! Don't give up, just keep doing what you are doing. Eating right and exercising. The scale WILL respond!

switch things up might work. I do intermittent fasting. coffee with cream in am, no sugar. about 1/3 of my total daily calories for lunch which is keto like just veggies, protein and fat. I have a coffee with lunch also, no sugar. then the remaining 2/3rds of my calories for dinner. whatever I want for dinner, no carb restriction, just a regular dinner, maybe even small dessert if I have enough calories remaining, or maybe just a piece or two of chocolate. I walk daily for 20 to 30 minutes. no snacking in between, just two meals. I like it because you can get together with family or friends and have a regular dinner if you're going out or visiting. so it works for real life. this way of eating is also great for lowering insulin and losing fat weight not muscle. hope you hang in there!

Too much exercise? Are you building muscle? If it's not exercise, I have found over 60 weight loss needs a much different focus than under 50, LOL. I pay attention to my endo system, take specific supplements if my diet is lacking, Vitamin B-12, selenium and probiotics to compensate for hypo-thyroid issues and reduced metabolism. Your metabolism controls how much you loose and how long it takes. Boost it. https://www.medicareallies.com/senior-insurance-blog/8-ways-to-increase-your-slowing-metabolism-after-60

Glad to see a post from you. You’ve not been showing up in my list. It’s aggravating when things that should work don’t. If you want a suggestion: try a very minor change, something that doesn’t require deprivation of time or food, but is different from your current average day. Sometimes ‘different’ is all that’s necessary to stimulate a change.

I was in the same boat, had to take my calories waaaay down to be able to lose. I figured for me it was a combination of age related low metabolism and less muscle mass than when I was younger.

Increase Chest, Deadlift & Squats with more Reps & less weight (6 to 10 reps, 50 to 60% MAX - 5x). Do this for a couple weeks & then try MAX weight with fewer Reps (3). Your body will react & the weight loss will follow. Remember to give those large muscle groups 24 to 48 hour rest.

Sometimes it just means changing something up. Is it possible that you’re not eating enough? It can happen because your body starts storing fat, thinking that you’re starving it. Just a thought

How's your sleep? Shoot for extra (8+) hours as many nights in a row as you can while maintaining other good habits and see if it makes a difference. If you can't "sleep", at least be horizontal with your eyes closed for 8 hours or longer (trying to think peaceful thoughts). I know "8" is somewhat arbitrary but it applies to a very large segment of the population.

You may need to shake things up a bit. Different foods and exercise routines have helped for me in the past. Don’t get discouraged...you’re doing great!

Thank you all. I can't believe I'm in this position after a lifetime of espousing that eating right and exercise are simple math. Eat less than you use and weight comes off. But something has changed in my world, physics have changed. 1+1=5 now. 1 calorie in, 1 calorie out, 5 pounds of weight gain. It's crazy. And crazy making. I go to bed at 9:00 pm and get up at 4 am to start my day. I eat about 2000 calories a day, 1/3 protein, exercise 30 minutes daily, and head off to work in a super hyper toxic environment. None of that can change any time soon. Pain and weakness from neck injury still limit serious return to weight lifting or running. But I'll try mixing it up. Today is cardio day. I'll try bike instead of elliptical and add some of the calisthenics that I can do. Maybe I can turn it around. Thanks again for so much support. Steve
