@nickale First of all, good on you for trying to take control of your overall health, and for wanting to stick with it. I not going to advise on the exercise portion, as it seems like other people have it covered; I would say that keeping control of your diet is the other exceptionally...

@nickale If you're not losing weight, it's not a calorie deficit. There is no hormonal problem out there which overrides that.

@prestontg Good bot

@imjustme123 OK, buddy. You clearly don't want to acknowledge the problem or put in the work; maybe fitness isn't really your bag.

@imjustme123 Pick one.

@imjustme123 Most people underestimate how fat they are, and you popped off with some nonsense about spending hours counting calories. You said already that you're fat and that you don't want to spend the absolute minimum effort and time to do something about it. You think people should just...

@imjustme123 If you spend hours upon hours on it, then there's something wrong. You should be paying attention to how much you take in; everyone should, but you also said that you're "slightly chubby", which in today's warped perception of weight usually means at least high overweight and...

@auna Not at her weight and fat percentage.

@rawscot It's going to be a hard road, but if you stay strong and disciplined, you will see results. That means making good choices with food and exercise, and sometimes you're going to hate it, but you will see a good result in the end.

@rawscot That's a very sensible way to go about it - low impact is your friend right now.

@rawscot No, you're not the same, but you're both subject to CICO. If you want to lose weight, you have to make sure that you're in a calorie deficit. You should be careful with exercise. To be blunt, you are massively overweight, and you need to be careful with it. Take exercise gently at...

@judee Hatfield squats are hands down an awesome exercise for older lifters or those with injuries or both. I don't do them myself, but they are a solid, useful exercise. Most of us are working out for health or enjoyment, not to become competitive powerlifters. Why limit yourself with...

@juancarlos I pinged him, and linked the post, because I wanted to make a comment. What's the problem with that?

@dawn16 Being excited about it helps a lot.

@dawn16 My problem is that I keep thinking it's more healed than it is. My wife is threatening to buy me socks.

@renatusfueritexaqua Of late, all of my work out injuries have been deadlift related; I have ripped open the same scab on my shin on three occasions now.😂

@gmojis Track your calories honestly and accurately using a food scale if you can, maintain a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight. You can track your calories using something like MacroFactor (created and maintained by Greg Nuckols, so highly recommended), MyFitnessPal, FatSecret, or...

@dawn16 I feel like I have a better understanding of my limits, day to day; some days, I feel like I can smash it, and will push it harder than I have scheduled, and others, I stay right in my lane for the day.

/@binnguyen84 wrote a great post on changing your mindset on PRs and progress. This right here is a great snippet, but it is definitely worth reading the whole thing. As older lifters, many of us will find it harder to smash down those walls, and it is definitely worthwhile to consider how we...

@rein_29 Don't eat back your calories. That way lies failure.
