    45yo female beginner wants to lose weight and get stronger

    @majid This is great advice. I’m following the two people you recommended. (Thank you!!) Just so I’m clear...stupid question...if I want to build muscle, I need to eat more, but then will I just build muscle under fat? What I’m picking up is that I either need to focus on weight loss or...

    45yo female beginner wants to lose weight and get stronger

    @lukejacquedouglas Yes! This is the problem. When I’m training and increasing mileage, I am also always hungry. Great advice on where to cut back. That seems to be a place where I can start. I’m also recognizing that I need to log everything everyday and get honest w myself about calorie...

    45yo female beginner wants to lose weight and get stronger

    @dawn16 Yes. I have been in a diet/fitness wormhole ALL day. Is it calories? Fasting? Keto? Paleo? Vegan? While 30? Should I keep focus on long distance running? Hire a trainer? Hire a nutritionist? Lordy. I just want to increase muscle, lose the covid fluff I gained from binge watching...

    45yo female beginner wants to lose weight and get stronger

    @deeraj43 Thank you for being so thorough. Dr. Fung wrote the Obesity Code...I didn’t know that about the hierarchy of energy sources but it makes sense.

My mom’s doctor is changing the way I think about fitness...I did my first bootcamp today and realized I have a long way to go. Push-ups are freaking hard. What...
