Nutrition is more important. Without proper nutrition, your body won't be properly fueled for any exercise you do. "It all comes down to calories" is bad advice. What is better for you.... calories from Twinkies, or from a banana? You can't out exercise a bad diet.

First off, two days a week training, with the hope of gaining muscle just won't cut it... in my opinion... 4 days a week (at minimum) would be better suited for what you are trying to do. Look at successful bodybuilders/weightliftrers. They didn't get that way by working out only two times per week. Secondly... if it is…

I am 58 years old. I have been actively lifting for about 4-5 years, and I can say that building mass/muscle is definitely possible. Everybody is different in what works for them, in terms of caloric needs, and exercise. For me, for a long while, I was just lifting and no or little cardio (I lost my weight doing cardio). I…

Just another reason I'd steer clear of your advise, as vague as it is... Ever thought about the correlation of not eating enough and malnutrition? What kind of health complications would this cause?

I would use the BMR calculator to find your base, then eat a little less than that. It is generally not recommended for anyone to go below 1,200 calories.

Everyone's caloric requirements are different, as well as their rate of burn (metabolism). To the OP, don't worry too much…

Bananas can quickly meet your potassium requirement. Just be careful of the sugar intake. Although naturally occurring sugars are better than added, and have fiber to help control absorption, too much of any sugar can be detrimental.

Your encouragement looks at you (and you at her) every day... your daughter. Loosing weight and becoming healthy is just as much about her (probably even more so), as it is you. You can do this.

I am 54 and just finishing up round 3 of Insanity. It has been the best (and hardest) thing I have ever done. Don't worry about keeping up with the videos, just do what you can, and you will get better. Soon, you will find you are keeping up with the 20-somethings in the videos! Doing the workouts is just half of it. You…
