belated happy birthday, TT! I'm ahead of you, turning 64 next month and ready to become a pensioner.
I still have to lose my Italian pounds, mostly gained in restaurants on the beach.

HI All!
Been dedicated to working out and just can't seem to lose any weight. Each week I weigh myself and I may lose 1 to 2 pounds but then the following week I hop on the scale and the 1 to 2 pounds I had lost is back. I swear I'm not slacking In the gym and I've cut my calorie intake. The only thing I'm doing different this past week is drinking way more water. m hoping the water will help? Im at my wits end:( Most of my weight is in my tummy and back. I use to do the stair master for cardio but two weeks ago my 21 year old daughter reminded me when she put on weight her freshman year in college a few years ago, that she did the treadmill on a high incline and fast pace for 30 minutes a day and it ended up melting off. Im 47 so I know I can't compare my metabolism to hers but I swear I'm really putting in the work at the gym with zero results. Im currently 30 pounds overweight, yikes.
Edited to add that I do get a monthly Lupron shot as part of my preventative care.
Any tips or if you just have some words of encouragement please send them my way

Toy, you sound like me. I surely had the slowest metabolism east of the Mississippi. After several tries earlier in the year, without weight coming off, I started intermittent fasting and working out before I eat anything. I also gave up bread and sugar. I am down about 35 pounds with 15 to go. (I put on 20 pounds during the pandemic). My biggest fear is what happens when I stop the diet. My body will fight to put the weight back on. I am going to try so hard this time. This diet game gets old.
Does your healthcare company offer a nutritionist? Weight watchers is great too.

Toy, great for your daughter. From the latest research (Metabolism Changes With Age, Just Not When You Might Think | Duke Today) it looks like 47 year olds have about the same metabolism as a 21 year old, all things being equal. Muscle mass is key, so if you have lost any this might be the reason your metabolism is slower. Also I would argue our meds age us to about 90! It's really important to do weight training to keep our metabolic fires burning. That and intermittent fasting has helped me to maintain my weight but it is still a struggle. I probably need to do more weight training and fast more, like a day or two. I made an appointment with my oncologist in 2 weeks and I am usually highly motivated to lose weight when I am about to see him so I can say that I haven't gained anything at all. It has worked so far (at least 10 years).

Toy I can totally relate to struggling with weight gain. I have lost 3lbs since last week, and now14lbs above my target now. Whenever I hit my tareget I always sabotage myself and bounce off it. This time it was a big bounce. Just keep drinking water, working out and eating less is my only advice if you really want to lose weight. Always works in the end, even though it is sometimes really hard and feels like starvation!

down .7
First week back to school (second week for teachers but first week for students) so I have already missed a couple of my exercise classes due to start of school meetings...will miss 3 more before the week is over...will have to be very serious not to be up a lot next week with all the missed exercise.

Good job on your big loss Scotbird. You too Trimtab. Prayers for a good school year for you and your students. I am down 1.2 pounds. I keep a daily journal of my weight changes. Amazing how much my weight fluctuates each morning without rhyme or reason. This Wednesday weigh in allows me to take a moment and realize I am making progress. Wishes for a lovely week for all,

I'm a pound lower than last week, so pretty much back to normal.

Just staying the same......haven't been trying so that is not suprising.

Down .5. At goal. Probably will go back up. I'm starting to think my scale decides what I weigh according to what day of the week it is.

I was on vacation last week. Two week weigh in: up 1 pound. Frustrating. I wasn’t perfect on vacation, but I tried. I think it was the cashews, a handful here, and there and then the bag was gone. Wedding getting closer. Wishing you all a good week!
