i'm over 40. is it impossible?
I cannot believe how hard weight loss has become since I hit my 40s. I remember people telling me when I was younger "wait till you're 40" They were right. I feel like in order to lose weight nowadays, I can't eat ANYTHING and I have to work out like a maniac. It's so depressing. I don't want to live like that for the rest…

I tried eating back my exercise cals and it's bs!
So for several weeks I tried to switch it up by increasing my cals and eating back my exercise cals. Absolutely DID NOT work!
