[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]

I have been on 1200, strength train for over a decade and can't lose weight. I think the prime muscle development years was 14-24 and that boat sailed decades ago. Heavy weights can help you keep whatever you had but no woman is going to be the Rock in this life time. [/quote]

This is definitely untrue -- you can absolutely transform your body composition and develop more muscle after the age of 24 and well into middle age. The older you are, the harder it is, but it's certainly possible. I never had much muscle until I put effort into it staring in my late 30s, post pregnancies, and now (mid-40s) I'm more muscular than I've ever been.

That 1200 calorie diet is a big part of what is keeping you from building muscle. And if it's not helping you lose weight, what is the point? You should take a page out of PP's book and just focus on health and fitness, and see what happens.[/quote]

Because I’d hit true overweight from borderline overweight if I consume more than 1400 a day.
I haven’t had sugar for 16 years lol.[/quote]
