[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had been lifting weights but extra pounds kept creeping on. I lifted for about 1.5 years and now switched back to running and have lost around 5lbs and my clothes feel much better. Is it bad to stop lifting and just focus on running? I am 40 years old and weigh about 148lbs. I would like to try and get back down to 135lbs (am 5'7" tall). My sister (same height) is able to but she runs close to 50-60 miles a week. [/quote] What do you mean by lifting? Need specifics. Because either you weren't lifting enough for a metabolic boost/calorie burn OR you were and you were gaining muscle. Which means you are now losing muscle weight and all its benefits in exchange for a random number on the scale. My shirts and pants better after I stopped lifting (post surgery three months) because my shoulder muscles and quads lost muscle mass. I was not happy with that.[/quote]
