Hi! I'm 38 and struggling too. I never had a weight problem until about 4 years ago, and over time I've eventually put on 30 lbs. I'm 5'4, so the 160's are at least 20 lbs. over my "ideal" weight. I've lost almost three pounds this first week (started last Mon.), but my experience from doing this WOL before is that I will stall and even gain some back...That is why I stopped before.

However, after I quit LCing, I felt so out of control! Within a month, I had gained back all I had lost plus 7 lbs. So, even if you're not losing rapidly, or even at all, stick with it. The alternative is much worse.

BTW, my sister is 53 and has had no problem losing doing LC.

Keep your head up!!

Cindy
