I’m 5’5 , 147 lb F . I used to weight 142 last year but gained a few lbs. my favorite pants no longer fit and would love to be back to that weight. Last year i did IF for a couple months which is how i got to 142. I find IF HARD. Im constantly cooking for my kids and my bf so it’s really hard not to taste the food I am making. I also hate throwing food away so often times I eat my kids leftovers. I spend a lot of time at home so im always tempted to grab something from the kitchen. Im almost 34, and my metabolism isnt what it used to be. If you were in my shoes, what weight loss method would you follow?

I had been out of school for 11 years. Decided to take some classes this semester and wow, it was hard! I got good grades but i learned nothing? It’s like my memory would hold on to things long enough to do the assignments and quizzes and then forget. I was completing a class discussion assignment earlier today that combined with one of our initial chapters and the words felt foreign to me. Like it was my first time seeing them. I used to retained info so well in my early 20s and I don’t know what happened. Any tips? I wont be taking classes next semester for personal reasons but I am truly concerned about my brain. This assignment was eye opening to me. I will say though, that for the last 6 years or so I have been speaking Spanish primarily so could that be a reason ?
