[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 44 and have lost 25 lbs in 3 months.

- drastically reduced alcohol, added sugars, and takeout

- increased produce and fiber-rich foods

- 10-15k steps per day, every day, no exceptions

- weight training 4x/week

- intense cardio 1-2x per week

[/quote]Congrats on your weight loss but this would not be sustainable for most people. [/quote]

That's not hard at all. Why on earth wouldn't it be sustainable? Many of us do it (or more) with jobs and life commitments.

PP's habits describes me, except my cardio and strength are switched. And I get closer to 15-20k steps/day.

NP. 20k steps a day is at least a couple of hours walking, plus 6 workouts a week. I mean, sure, it can be done but you can't spend 2 hours a day working out AND give 110% at a traditional job, even a hybrid one, cover a couple of tweens' chauffeuring, feeding, supervision, as an example of "why on earth" it wouldn't be sustainable.

Now, if you're fully remote and working 2-3 actual hours a day, and/or outsource cooking and cleaning and/or outsource parenting, and/or have older or no kids, yeah, that self-obsessed fantasy can be lived in middle age.[/quote]

Imagine what your life might look like if you spent the time you spend on the internet arguing dumb points walking instead. [/quote]

Imagine what PP's life accomplishments would look like if they spent the time they spend obsessing over having a firm a**, getting things done instead. Their and my time on the internet aruging dumb points isn't going away, obviously.[/quote]

I see no evidence that PP isn’t accomplishing what she wants. However you have told us all that you would rather type on DCUM than get steps in.[/quote]
