@childofgod222 Id love to know ages with stats because it seems like the older i get the harder it is to lose weight. Or is that my imagination?

@mariasr2011 Agreed, Im 31 and it feels so different than even 28

@childofgod222 1,900 - 2,000 and 110-115lbs ! Lift 4-5 times a week and 11,000+ steps a day

@childofgod222 I’m 5’3”, 148 pounds. My maintenance is 1500 or thereabouts. I always calculate at sedentary even though I work out for an hour every day. It’s hard to ensure you’re in deficit when 50-100 calories can screw you over lol, so I tend to overestimate slightly on what I eat and not include my exercise, hoping it’ll all even out and I’ll still be in deficit day to day. I’m on a weight loss journey so I eat at 15-20% deficit currently while trying to stay at or slightly above 1300 calories tracked, usually about 90-100g protein.
