Im having the hardest time losing weight! Im 40 years old & have been working out harder & more than when I was young & Im barely seeing r

Yep.

This applies to women also. In addition to all the great advice on what, what not, when, when not, how much, and how little to eat, your exercise program needs to build muscle and get your hormones moving back towards when you were younger. Lift weights and do metabolic conditioning work.

One met con thing you can do is add sprints to your running.

Here is my met con story:

I gained 20 pounds during pregnancy. By the time my son was a week old and most of the excess water weight was gone, I was 9 pounds overweight. Don’t laugh at “9”. I am very small, short waistline, and unfortunately never put fat on the backside to give me a nice rounded female butt. I looked frumpy.

I took 6 of those pounds off with running and healthy eating, plus sometimes step and kickbox, but the 3 that remained mostly stayed on my thighs. The thighs were not big, but an inch too big in proportion to the rest of me, and there was some cellulite.

Those thighs stayed in place for a lot of years, and then menopause came. I don’t wish the 6 years of horrid carb craving and massive focus on food on anybody. I ate a ton of carrots in a prevention attempt, and this made my feet turn yellow. Hot flashes were very bad, but the “Give me food now! I am starving!” was ruining my life. I lived my life because I had to, but my desire was to do nothing but eat, then eat some more. My fight against the horror resulted in me gaining 9 pounds instead of 50 or 100, and those 9 were worse than the post-pregnancy nine because they were all around my torso. The thighs stayed at the same one-inch too big they had been for years.

When appetite control came back to normal, I started the weight down/weight back up game I’d seen others do. My women friends at 30 and 40 pounds overweight looked better than I did in the 10 to 15 pounds overweight range, but still I didn’t do what it would take to not look like a weeble until the day I signed up for a live outdoor boot camp class.

I went to class 5 mornings a week. The trainer pushed us hard. I went along with her pushing because she was looking. This is was way different than any video work I had ever done because I had never really worked that hard before - - even when I thought I had. I did not change my food. By the end of the first 5-week camp, the post menopause fat was gone. By the end of seven 5-week camps, my post-pregnancy thighs were gone and they looked better than when I was in my teens and twenties.

I did that boot camp for 6 years until covid days destroyed things. I continue to work out hard with videos and I do sprints every other run. Running is, and has been since 1986, a mind thing for me way more than an exercise thing. The sprints cover both: starting a day with sprints is always good.

I am now 62 and there is not a single dimple of cellulite on me. I can do box jumps on a box slightly higher than knee-high. I can do plyo down into the bottom of a push-up as part of an intense minute of burpees. I can do jump tucks. My push-up record, on the toes man-style, is one set of 47. I can also do one set of 6 unassisted pullups.

If you want some FANTASTIC free training on YouTube, check out Caroline Girvan. If you do try working out with Caroline, remember to let the starter add run 30 seconds before you hit SKIP or she won’t get paid for your view.

Always trust the Vikings. My step father’s family is from Norway, wise people they are. Couldn’t have said this better. Cardio is good to keep the blood circulation and pressure regulated, but it will do nothing for weight loss. Only weight training will help you lose fat. You don’t want to lose “weight”, you want to lose fat. Weights, weights, weights.

And you don’t have to become a power lifter. Lifting 100 pounds 8 times, or 20 pounds 40 times; same 800 pounds, just structured differently.

And, guess what happens when you do squats and lift weights? Yep, your heart rate increases, same effect as cardio but you are engaging muscles and burning fat. If it makes you feel better, jog, but only to get you started, then do at least 30 minutes to an hour of weight training. Alternate days (chest one day, bi and tris the next, legs the next, rotate, switch it around, etc). Get the FitOn App, free. And, have fun with it. Stress can derail your fat loss so do breathing exercises and chill/meditate. Go lose that fat!

Keto / Atkins

Take 10 minute cold showers for 2 weeks and you will loose it.... thank me later

I feel you op.

Slow and steady wins the race for some people. Especially after a certain age.

If your body is pushed too much, it raises your cortisol levels, which throws all of your hormones, line insulin, out of whack.

Become an alcoholic, worked great for me

Add weight lifting to your regime. Building muscle mass will peel off fat

Eat less, thats all it takes.

I had very similar problems, overweight low energy, and the job I had was very sedentary. I contacted the herbalists at this place from a friend they helped with ED and other issues. They put me on a detox protocol, digestive cleanse and using this product really melted the weight off me as I skipped meals but felt full and good. One of the ways I knew I turned a corner was when I no longer craved bad or junk foods, no more pizza, heavy fried foods. I began to crave just clean, healthy, light meals. Chop firewood till exhaustion, some kettle bell if you cant. Hiking and taking herbs to cleanse digestive track and I have lost about 35 lbs. Don't weigh yourself too much, go by belt size. When you have to put a new hole in your belt because its too big is a great feeling. Don't do reps either when you exercise go berserker mode until exhaustion

they have an etsy shop too [link to www.cunningfolkherbs.com]

Just stop eating you fat fuck.

this, OP


it's a math problem.

you have to burn more than you are consuming in order to get your body into ketosis where it will burn stored fat.


drop the carbs and sugar until you reach your goal.

135 is tiny for a man.

It does get harder to lose weight as you age, but a caloric deficit will still work as long as you stick to it. Heavy exercise is not really needed though, be careful about your knees and muscles. Injuries also happen more easily as you age.

Meat and salad.
Workout regular with 30 min cardio a day.
Weight will fall of you.

Its the food. Not you.

Everything we eat has no nutritional value.
Its all fake.

The oils the sugars are toxic to us


Our bodies can't process it so it gets processed as fat

I've been battling illnesses for 2 decades. All food related.

In bread when I was a kid the ingredients were yeast salt flour n water. Now read the ingredients on a bag of bread. Google each ingredient. One of them is a chemical for sawdust. Fda allows it so it can stay on the shelf a month. Open the bag of bread u can smell the poison. I haven't touched bread since 07.

You can eat as much meat and salad as you want.
Never drink anything sugary and never eat anything but meat and salad.
You can have a small carb for breakfast for energy during the day.
Eat a yam or a patato maybe one piece of bread with breakfast.
This diet will shred you in a couple of months.
No sugar ever! No treats. No cake. No doughnut.
There is a birthday or holiday or special occasion every day of the year so just say no,

It's been scientifically proven that humans didn't eat three meals a day, every day. Our bodies aren't even built to eat every day.
You can't compare the amount of physical work people did back in the day, with modern humans, who sits in front of the computer all day.
I'd say that regular exercise and occasional fasting are required for a healthy body in today's world.

Now, that 165lbs doesn't look bad at all for OP, unless he's very short.

Cortisone

Nasty hormone from stress.

How tall are you?

135 lbs sounds really skin if your tall.

How wrong you are!!!

It's about her fucked up hormones. Been there. Found the solution. Weight melted right off of me.

But OP don't want no help. So she can go fuck herself right off!

And one is CHINA WOMEN'S HAIR!!!

Aka "cysteine" (Look it up!)

Anyway, bread ain't food.
Grains aren't fit for humans, never mind the bible.

He is a she, you idiot!

NEW WORLD ORDER SHILL PROMOTES FAMINE^^^^^^ and STARVATION!!!!




Yeah "scientifically".... go get your booster, trust the science, shill!!!

Steer roidz.....

He's a soy boy suffering from his effeminate vanity.

^This not scientific.

Most likely stored Hallogens or Iodine Mimickers disrupting your Endocrin system. Look up the Iodine protocol as you take Iodine and other co-nutrients. I was experiencing the same thing. Started the protocol and went from 340 to 300 in 4-5 months without lifting a finger. When I started to exercise, the weight melted off. Remember get your liver healthy as it assimilates fats. I’m now 155 lbs.

Stay with it!

do burpees

This!

Fast.

Weighed over 300 in December. 198 today.

Cole Robinson is a fuckin king!

HEY FATTY, STOP FUCKING EATING!
