[quote=Anonymous]This ^^^^ I am petite 4'11" and was an avid exerciser.  I did a boot-camp style workout 5 times a week plus running, biking etc.  The boot camp uses weights but once you get to a certain point the weights won't build any more significant muscle. The weights you use at boot camp can only be so heavy or you won't be able to run and jump with them. I lost a significant amount of weight around 10 years ago at 46 then around 4 years ago the weight started to creep up with menopause.

I started lifting heavy CONSISTENTLY and started to finally see results.  I am building muscle.  I don't think I've lost any weight but the clothes are fitting better and I look slimmer and you can see more muscle definition.  I am lifting in addition to boot camp and some running and biking.

I am eating more protein which is also important to building muscle.  Consistent lifting with protein while watching the rest of what you eat will get you where you want to go.

Note:  I didn't say do stuff like "cut all carbs" "do paleo" etc.  Just up the protein and eat a generally healthy diet.
