Good for you. Whether by genetics or effort ... whatever works.

The glorious trifecta of menopause where your metabolism crashes, estrogen drops (leading to abdominal weight gain like men), and tendency towards insulin resistance due to age.

I'm 59 next week and just recently lost about 30 pounds, down to my high school Levi 501s. The "secret" was less calories and more exercise. Every day. If there's an easier and less annoying way to keep the weight off I'd like to know about it.

Recently I noticed that as I get older my metabolism slows and I need less food.

My wife and I are trying something radical: if I’m not hungry, don’t eat just because it’s meal-time.

With the last kid out of the house, there’s less need to stick to formal meals.

Right now, I’m not hungry so will skip breakfast and maybe have lunch a little early.
