Hey Gypsy welcome

I am 50 also (in April) and I am actually not trying to lose a lot of weight just trying to sculpt and tone my body and build a little muscle.

I have been on BFL plan for 7 weeks and just love it. I do however restrict my carbs as much as I can get away with and still be able to work out 6 days a week.

I agree with TeriDoodle about the wine, you need to have only one. I gave up wine several years ago it increased my appetite and intensified my menopausal symptoms.
