[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my early 40's and your exact same height and weight. I've stopped looking at weight and focus on body composition. Over the summer, I tracked calories on the "Lose It" app (started day with 1215 and gained more calories when I exercised so probably ate around 1550), walked 10000 steps a day, did two 60 minute endurance rides per week on peloton (stay in zones 2-3 for fat burning) and lifted weights 4-5 days per week using Rebecca Kennedy's 5 day split and then her 4 day split. Consistency with endurance cardio and hypertrophy with lifting are the keys for me. I saw results within a couple of weeks which was super encouraging for staying in track. I got in the best shape of my adult life--strong and toned. My weight never got below the 150's but I felt awesome and looked so much better in my clothes. First summer in a long time that I felt great.

I found it pretty manageable to sustain for a few months but definitely fell off the wagon a bit with back-to-school in Sept. I'm back at it now! Set yourself incremental goals and be disciplined. Even if you don't lose weight, you will see those muscles start showing up and suddenly the grocery bags won't feel heavy anymore![/quote]
