@afraidoftheend Congrats, for 60-years old you look fantastic, and are better off than 99.9% of others your age....Keep doing what you are doing, it clearly works for you,

 

[afraidoftheend]

@martinaigi Thanks. I'll never stop. Lifting helps me in so many ways.

 

[martinaigi]

@afraidoftheend I’m curious how much do you weigh and what are your measurements?

 

[afraidoftheend]

@martinaigi 5'8", 135lbs if the scale is accurate. I don't know any other measurements but my pants are 30" waist.

 

[martinaigi]

@afraidoftheend Thank you. I am almost the same age and have been on a 4 year journey myself to transform myself as well.

@afraidoftheend Way to go man! You are inspiration.. I don’t have to be 60 to start working out but nonetheless it isn’t too late to get it going

 

[afraidoftheend]

@kayelynn Thanks. It's never too late. Start wherever you are and build up slow and sure.

@afraidoftheend great work very inspirational i am 47 now. Losing weight is best as we age i am 250 massive i need to lose 40. Thanks for your pics great work.

 

[afraidoftheend]

@dawn16 Thanks. You can do it. I was 20-30lbs heavier at 47.

@afraidoftheend its all about diet and eating a bit less.... working on this right now. Metashred program so far so good.

@dawn16 Yea I lose 20lbs every year after my bulk with calorie reduction only

 

[dawn16]

@snippy i am done with diet keto , low carb, and fasting my hair thinned so bad since i been doing those, so calorie reduction but complete diet with carbs oat meal, milk etc, and try to refill the lost hair.

I am giving myself a whole year to lose what i have to lose no fat burners, no crap this time around exercise good cardio cutting out sugar etc.

 

[snippy]

@dawn16 To be clear, I eat plenty of carbs, adequate fats and protein while cutting. I wait till lunch to start eating so am full all afternoon. I have a lot of great bulk foods I cook that are low calorie but filling.. think lentil sloppy joes and lentil / quinoe loaf. Lots of bowls: 1/2 cup of two kinds of beans and then arugala and chopped veggies ... check out Boathouse Farms dressings especially cilantra and avocado as it is super low cal but very very tasty.

@snippy Ok you use an intermittent fasting variation... 16/8 i am slowly trying to ease into this again, and yes it works like magic. I need to be careful not to go on longer fast, because that sucks up all my energy, and my hair start to thin again.

 

[snippy]

@dawn16 I use it as a calorie reduction technique. I have never been a big breakfast eater anyway so it is pretty easy. I do not technically fast as I do a large protein drink after my early workout.

 

[dawn16]

@snippy I am thinking about 16/8 no choice this week i am off i will try to fast 24h eat less, shake the sugar craving, fasting did wonders for this in the past.

@afraidoftheend Thanks for sharing, awesome results!

I was actually starting to feel discouraged that I was too old to ever realize these sort of results, but this proves I am not!
