Well I’m 74 and have lost 25 pounds since the beginning of March. I have dieted on and off all my adult life and this time it has been really hard, much harder than ever before. I have had to cut out breakfast and limit bread to one slice a day, the rest of my diet is fruit, vegetables, brown rice or quinoa, Greek yogurt, a small amount of cheese, chicken and fish. I only drink coffee with soya milk and no sugar or water. I have been trying to do 10000 steps a day as walking is the only exercise I can do comfortably. It wouldn’t suit some people but I feel so much better and will keep going until my BMI is 25.
Lizzypopbottle well done on your achievement. Is TDEE the same as BMR? I read about BMR when I was failing to lose weight despite eating healthily and found that my recommended daily calories at rest were 1300. I am 5’ 8” and found during my research that my waist should be no more than 34” and only have one more inch to lose. That was when I realised that I was going to have to be much more stringent with my diet than previous attempts when I was younger. I found that eating between the hours of 11:30 and 19:30 suited me better than the 5:2 but any form of fasting is supposed to be beneficial and has become a way of life now.
I have about 7 pounds to lose to reach a BMI of 25 so the end is in sight. Congratulations to all who have lost weight and if you have some pounds to lose don’t let age deter you.
