[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s stopping me is having success through diet and exercise. I’m mid-40s and have lost 20 pounds in the last year through a modest deficit (1850 calories a day), walking and strength training. I started this journey with the goal of longevity though. That really motivated me to show up and stay consistent. Losing weight was a great side effect. :) [/quote]

This is an outstanding attitude and absolutely the correct position. Nobody over 40 should be concerned with vanity. Focus on your health, real food, and movement and the rest will fall into place.

Or make up a bunch of pseudo science to explain away an addiction to fat, sugar, and salt instead of Whole Foods. [/quote]

Problem is that this approach just doesn’t work for some people. My doctor has been telling me I need to lose 10-12 more lbs to be healthier (I am slightly overweight) and I just can’t do it or keep it off. I am 44 and have been eating in a strict 1400 calorie deficit for years to be able to lose weight/maintain but the second I go even slightly above that I gain right back. I already work out 4-5 days per week. I eat protein, limit sugar and carbs, etc.

I just don’t know how I can lose/maintain weight to get to where I should be.[/quote]

You are not walking enough, 20k steps on top of your weight training should do the trick.
Wether a 44 year old (supposedly busy professional with children at home) has the time to do all that is another issue.[/quote]
