The only way to gain muscle is to lift weights and eat clean /high protein, as a former powerlifted in my youth , I am so grateful that I had a bunch of bad *kitten* guys pushing me in the gym , now 30 years later I am grateful, lifted so heavy when I was young before **** started hurting ect( had shoulder surgery a few…

Tanita scales are great, I have had one for 12 years and is still accurate, just don't pay attention to what it says for bodyfat, wicked innacurate.

Welcome , I am 49 and I am on here everyday, if you want send me a friend request and I will take a look at your diary , you have to open it up so we can see what your are eating, in our 40's we have to move more and eat less .. Quality calories, your body reflects what you put into it, eat clean fresh foods and it will…

That happens to me when I am either dehydrated or hormonal, if I am on my period I tent to get light headed during my workout, and I do have to stop and go get something to eat, nothing to worry about ...

Your diary is not open, so it is hard to give advice on that. If you log all your food, open it up so you can get advice on what to change ect...

You should open up your diary, can't help if we can't see what kind of calories you are consuming ... I am 5'6" 130 lbs, , I am sure I can give you helpful advice , just let me know:flowerforyou:

Goodluck then, make small goals that are easier to meet, you won't set yourself up for failure then. Add some friends in too, I will be 50 in march and you are welcome to add me as a friend, I am on here everyday, and would be happy to help you out:flowerforyou:

Morning, I heard best thing to do for that, it start off week drinking a lot of water then on day of photo shoot limit it to 2 cups of water only..goodluck!

Buy a jump rope , cheap and easy to do, by yourself, push up's, sit up's , jumping jacks ect ... You have to want to do it!

Just bought a really good sports bra one from Victoria's Secret in triple DDD, can run and nothing moves LOL..

Hi, I am on here every day , I am 49 and have been weightlifting my whole life, if you want you can add me as a friend and I would be happy to give you some tips. You need to open your diary so we can see what kind of food you are or you are not eating, it can be very simple to make up meal plans..

Hi, 1 st you should make sure you add food eaten in your diary, we can't help you out if we can't see what you are eating?? Try to add friends that are positive and are on here every day.. Ask for tips , where can you workout? do you have access to a gym? goodluck:flowerforyou:

Yes , I am 130 and try to eat 1500 a day with 5=6 days of exercise a week, it is the right kind of calories that matter, you cannot out train a bad diet, make sure you are getting proper nutrition ..

Welcome, and good luck with your goals, I am on here everyday and have 32 years of lifting experience, if you like you can add me as a friend:flowerforyou:

depends what you are looking for? I am 5'6" weigh 130 , bodyfat of 16% , I have a lot of muscle, I prefer the lean & healthy look , try adding more muscle on yourself in the next year...

If you want add me as a friend, I am on here everyday, I am 49 and in peri-menopause, I have weightlifted since I was 17 , be happy to help you figure some stuff out...:

when I was that age I was 135 , pure muscle....muscle rocks....

I'd address the quitting of smoking, when you smoke your heart rate is accelerated from the nicotine , which can burn calories , when you quit you don't have that faster heart rate thing going on anymore. Just my opinion.. Hang in there keep doing what your doing add in more weightlifting, add more muscle...goodluck

sent friend:flowerforyou: request

Unless you had an underwater bodyfat test done, you won't know how much muscle x fat ratio you have...Focus on weightlifting, go heavy , no baby weights, add in more protein either by shake's or lean protein, eat clean. Your body reflects what you put into it and what you do with it.

love your story , congrat's

If you don't do something now , you will regret it, I have a friend that has been trying to lose the same 30lbs for 8 years, her husband is always trying to sabotage her , and she is not getting any younger, much harder to lose as you age. In my house I set the example , if I say no eating out and my husband still wants to…

You are not eating the proper kind of calories, way to much processed food. No white bread, no rolls, no poptarts ect.. Eat clean the fewer ingredients the better. Complex carbs( quinoa, oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, healthy fats( avocado, olive oil, nuts) lean protein( ground chicken, chicken breast, 7% lean beef,…

Give it 6 months for your body to adjust , along with weightlifting/exercise..Plus a clean diet, see what work you can do on your own, then if loose skin is still there go for it.. I have had 3 babies 2nd one I gained 60 lbs, and with diet and exercise I got my ab's showing again.. Put in some work & time 1st , goodluck

Hi hun, if you want you can add me as a friend I am on here everyday and eat pretty clean, maybe you can take a look at my meals and get some ideas....

Hi, 1200 calories is on the low side. No way of knowing what kid of calories you are eating your diary is closed still. I myself have a hard time eating between 1200-1500 a day , but I try and it is healthy food. Open up your diary and some of us can take a look and help you out, you can add me as a friend I am on here…

heavy walking lunges, heavy squats... unless you are really overweight cut back on the cardio, focus on building muscle...the *kitten* will come :)
