I’m eating roughly 1300 calories a day but cannot seem to loose weight at all.
Just turned 50 5ft 8 and definitely in the menopause, so wondering if there is anything I can do to kick start my metabolism?
Admittedly my only exercise is c25k and I’m in wk 7, plus daily walks and reaching 5-10k steps a day.
So fed up!
Thanks in advance for any guidance 👍
Hello and welcome, RunJoRun50
My first suggestions would be that you're not eating enough and that you may need to look at your food choices. This post, When weight loss is a struggle, may give you a different perspective healthunlocked.com/weight-l...
If you want to continue calorie counting, then find the correct range for you at the NHS BMI calculator and don't be tempted to undercut it. Alternatively, you could try something like this plan, straightforward and counting-free phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...
You'll find everything you need from the forum in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l... Scroll through to see what's on offer. A good place to start would be joining a weekly weigh in - Friday's is under way with Caroline62 hosting - and using the Daily Diary. As you're a runner, you may like the Fit is Fun Club, too.
Active participation really pays off so I hope we'll see you out and about around the forum
