I am petite and about 5'3 myself. I weighed about 160-170 after I had my second child. I went to a gym and shedded some but I was still unhappy and unsatisfied. So I went to see my doctor and she helped me get on something. I rather not disclose what exactly it was, every medication and advice is different for every person. My problem had to do with ENERGY, and needing extra energy. My weight has been way down ever since I saw my doc.Perhaps, you can speak with a specialist or doctor and see what best options are for you.
I know as we age, our metabolism slows down. In addition, our bone mass thins so we have work a little harder when it comes to physical exercise. I would like to point out I am a runner, and no amount of running can compensate for what we put in our mouths and inside our bodies. It comes down to calorie intake. Research and know what is your calorie intake for your body. I ran up to 20 miles one event ( marathon) and I didn't shed a single pound. You can do all the exercise in the world, but in my opinion, it all comes down to calorie intake and what we put into our bodies. Even if the food your eating is healthy like fruit and veggies, make sure your not over eating and passing the recommended calorie intake. Again, talk do a doc! This is strictly my opinion based on my personal experience.
Good luck, and please dont be so hard on yourself! Stay positive and practice some positive affirmations.
