Been hitting the gym quite a bit but I am really committed to losing weight. Been hovering around 205-210 and want to be at 185. I'm 5'6" and 44 so I have a hard time keeping weight off. I certainly don't drop weight like I did in my 20's or early 30's. Food is both a blessing and a curse and need more discipline. Lifting 4x a week and trying to get that too at 4x. Got me a personal trainer who is hot and motivates me to stay on track!

Shouldn’t be any harder really, metabolism doesn’t slow down until your 60s. Unless you’ve lose muscle mass since then. That would be a contributing factor. 

Good luck with your goals though.

Have you tried 'calorie counting'???     I never paid much attention to it, but last year I wanted to cut about 15 pounds prior to a fairly tough backpacking trip I had planned.  I downloaded one of those calorie counter apps and used it.  Set a goal of 1500 calories per day, and the app helped quite a lot in tracking (and really SEEING) how many calories I was taking-in each day.  Was sort of a pain at first, but once I got used to entering the info it really helped.  I met my weight goal with the help of sticking to <1500 calories per day + exercise.

No matter what your age, running a calorie deficit will result in weight loss.  Maybe check it out?   Talk to your trainer about it to get her input?

Good luck!
