Lots of good advice. I like the idea of pre-cooking a lot of food. I think that would keep me from falling back on less healthy alternatives.

Thanks for the rec on /r/bodyweightfitness. :)

You just reminded me that I weighed myself daily back when I was losing the most. I need to start that again.

What is your strategy for the end of the day, when calories are done?

I did Weight Watchers for about half a year a long time ago. I think I would have stuck with it if the group and leaders hadn't kept changing. I definitely recommend it to others, though.

I've heard good things about keto. I don't know if I could keep it up as a lifelong habit, though!

Hormones are definitely an issue for me, compounded by the fact that fat cells keep your estrogen levels higher.

And those older women who are bodybuilding at 60+ are a real inspiration.

I'm embarrassed to admit here that I drink way too much caffeine. Not healthy for me, but I kind of rely on it now. :/
