turned 40 and decided to get ripped. in some ways i've found it's easier over 40 but other ways harder. definitely a learning curve. I thought it would take 3 months but around 10 percent fat it slowed to a crawl. also as im only 5ft 4 my calories need to be really low compared to someone heavier. i've almost given up a few times. main reason being the fat is currently going off my face which makes my wrinkles look deeper and people say I look ill as my cheeks start to disappear. unfortunately I cant choose where it goes from but im keeping going till i've achieved my goal. I might not stay so low when I get there but I just see it as a challenge and I hate to fail anything. i've learned what I can eat and I do fall off the wagon the odd time if there's a party or something but I dont set a time limit anymore so long as im getting there slowly. :-)
