I started lifting four years ago at 44. I had slowly started holding onto weight and did not really notice until I was at 150 lbs and over 35% body fat.

The first stretch was mostly figuring out what I was doing wrong. I was working out, but I was not eating enough to actually fuel the training, and I did not understand macros or how much protein I needed. Once I dialed those in, ate enough calories to recover (around 1,500), and started timing carbs around pre and post workout, the change actually showed up.

Weighed in today at 119 lbs and about 20% body fat. I have a few more pounds to lose then switch to slow lean build. It’s been a lifestyle change and I’m loving it!
