My main form of exercise is lifting weights 5 to 6 days a week. I was doing a lot of cardio and no weights and then went to all weights and no or little cardio. Have to find a balance that works in 2018. I put on muscle but added some fat to my body also (mostly eating poorly). My goal is to add cardio 3 Days a week and continue to lift weights. At my age (47) I don’t recover as fast as I once did but fell in love with lifting weights. I have to eat cleaner and add some cardio to my weekly activity.1 -

I think that’s a good way to approach it. Having that balance is important. It’s easy to do one or the other, but both provide great benefits. For me, I sometimes find that doing 20 minutes of cardio and then my weights helps with the balance. To minimize my time and maximize results, I also try and do supersets when possible. I use an app called JEFIT to help find/track my workouts.

To help with recovery and be able to train more I’ve adopted push/pull/legs training methods, it’s a good way of isolating different muscle groups so even if certain muscles are aching bad from a push session the day before won’t affect training a different group the next day in a pull session for example. Will let you know how I get on with it!
I hear you on the food, I can train more and more but if I don’t sort my food out then still gonna be keeping that fat on! Going ok so far with renewed determination - early days tho0 -

Weigh in: 180.2 lb, so 2.8 lb lost this week. That was more than I was aiming for so I imagine it will be less next time.5

Amazing! Well done. You've worked really hard this week and the number reflects that

I'm weighing in at 136lbs/ 9 stone 10lbs
2 lb weight loss this week. I'm assuming a lot of water weight so I will need to be on point this week. 4 -
164.8 this morning, down from 168.4. Bumped up my exercise this past week.3

Weight: 157.8 (down 1.8lbs)
Body Fat: 25.5%
My only true goal this week is to drink enough water each day. I haven't been drinking enough for a couple of months now and staying hydrated is usually the best starting point for me because it makes me feel better within a day and that makes me more motivated. ☺3 -

I won’t lie I forgot to weigh in last weekend! Weighed in this morning 12st 5 so I’ve lost 3 lbs since the start of the year! Very happy with this as I’ve been away all this week for work and this eating out at the hotel/restaurants etc.!3

Super stoked!2 -
Gain of 200grams or a ‘glass of water’
Feeling like I’ve hit a bit of a plateau and have been within the same kilo range for almost a month
Losses are slowing down.
Can’t wait to have my scan in a week and only work off monthly progress scans.
In a bit of a battle with my scales atm...1 -
I've stayed the same! Never mind.
I kind of expected this as exercise was only waking this week due to being so busy. On it tonight!!2 -
Weight: 131.8, down 2 pounds since beginning of the year.3
