I understand your frustration. You're one of the few people here on the forum older than I am! It's such a struggle for older women to lose any weight at all. I was stalled for 6 years before I came here.

This forum offers real-life experiences and real-time encouragement which have been invaluable to me. I had reached a point where just eating LC wasn't enough to coax the pounds off, and the break for me came 4 years ago when I started following the Fung Protocol. I got to my first goal.

I set myself another goal which was even harder: Keep the weight off and lose a bit more if possible.

Over time, I lost 3 more pounds by giving up dairy. Who knew?

What works for one doesn't work for all. We are all aware of that. I encourage you to stick to your plan because another thing we all know too well is that going back to eating SAD results in regaining the weight along with all the aches and pains we previously left behind.
