@Dante_80 Thank you. I’m going to check it out.

@charmmeth I really try and lose about a 1 lbs a week. You nailed it to look at trends. Try an identify what is working and stick to it. It really is a marathon and lifestyle.

@Dante_80 That’s a great app. What is it?

@sijomial 150 grams of protein is where I try and stay around. Give or take. I’m 5’8 193. Trying to get down to 163 lbs. Lost about 7lbs so far.

53 yrs young with 31 lbs to go. I’m right with ya!

Welcome, your not alone. 53 young here! Lot of great resources in this community. Don’t hesitate to say hello or reach out👍

@durhammfp Keep doing what you’re doing. It seems to be working 👍

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Indeed 😂👍👍

@durhammfp 155 is great! You have any idea your BF %

@ninerbuff To bad you’re not living in AZ I might have hired ya. If I ever worked with a trainer it would be someone my age or older. They know it’s another ballgame all together. We can still do it. Look at Tyson at 56. Being niner I figure your living in the Bay Area👍 I lived in SJ for 22 years.

@ninerbuff Great work, your an inspiration 👍 Keep lifting..

@mtaratoot I say old man tongue and cheek. But, compared to most in this group I can be their father 😂 Middle aged yes. If 50 is the new 30 that’ll make me 33. I’ll take it. Diet, exercise, rest and having the right mind set. It’s truly a lifestyle a marathon not a sprint 👍

@Missmass4 Thank you 👍 It’s truly a lifestyle a marathon not a sprint.

Welcome back! I don’t know what you do but I know an exhausting schedule will burn calories. It is better than a sedentary lifestyle. A busy schedules could be a workout in itself. I would find a diet that works for you and stick to it. After that maybe getting up an hour earlier and working out at home to save time. Start…

@Diatonic12 Well, that horse best be careful I get hungry enough 😂👍

@AliNouveau Thanks for me the hardest part was the first week 👍

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Thank you 👍

@coffee_n_weights Thank you. It’s a tough journey for all of us. No sense in making it tougher than need be with a negative attitude 🥳👍

@ninerbuff How tall and how old if I can ask 👍

@Diatonic12 Like this 😂

Still trying to figure out how to respond to each of you individually. Great job 👏 from what I can see.

Thanks for the hello and support 👋 it’s a journey and a lifestyle change for sure. Not much room for error at this stage. It’s like you take off 1 pound a week and in one sitting you can nearly put back several weeks of loses. Avoiding the pitfalls and falling off the wagon are crucial. Thing is we all fall down. But, it’s…

Seek an opinion from a doctor and a licensed nutritionist. What your doing isn’t safe or realistic.

53 years young. Sign me up.. 😂👍👍

A lot depends if someone is working out while dieting down. I’m lifting and doing cardio. 35 minutes resistance 30 minutes cardio 10 minutes core. I workout 6 day a week but it’s moderate workout. I’m trying to keep my protein level higher. I do not want to lose a lot of muscle as my weight drops.

Wooow, I think I’ll just keep mine. That is a low protein setting 😆👍👍
