51 years of ages, gone through menopause and weight 115kg with a grand height of 5ft2"
I need to lose weight, I want to lose weight.. at the moment I am limiting myself to 1390 calories a day (my fitness app provided this number after entering my stats). I have bought a treadmill and at the moment walking 30 minutes a day on it, with a view to doing more as my fitness levels rise (hah)
I've been reading so much about weight loss in the over 50 group lately and I just feel so disheartened and like no matter what I do thr weight will not shift.
The information is so confusing, I just don't know where to start. Some websites say I need 2000-2200 calories per day, and others say I need to half that due to age. I'd never bloody cope
Is there any hope at all....

I would be surprised if you lose weight at 1400 and people saying 1400 is a crash diet are plain daft
There is a culture of overeating in the uk
There is a culture of not accepting the differences between a muscular 33 year old man and a more ordinary menopausal woman
1800 calories is the general Maintenance calories for a typical uk female
