[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is late 40s; never really “fat” but typical dad bod with more than average upper body tone.  Maybe 15lbs overweight?

He was muscular/abs up until early 30s.

He has always gone to gym for weights but nothing serious in years, and went the typical dad bod route as most do.

Fast forward to our teen starting to want to lift (going into HS) and after a few months of going more regularly DH flipped a switch, joined instagram and started following male fitness people.
 Quit all alcohol, lowered carbs and eating healthy- drinking water non-stop.  Does intense cardio 3-4 times a week and lifts almost every day.

I thought it was a fad and short lived that he could get his body of his late 20s back.

He is no where close to looking like when we were young, but I have to say it appears almost possible?

His gut is about gone and muscles defined.

Why is it so easy for guys, especially older to get back into shape so quickly when I have been moderately exercising/running and barely drink alcohol and still carry about 15 extra pounds?

Very frustrating.[/quote]
