Congrats on the progress! Keep it up, slow and steady. When you are in a comfortable weight for you, start lifiting weights (if you havent already). The more muscle you have when growing old, the longer it will take to get weak and frail.
Thanks! For the well wishes, as well as the good advice 😁
Right now, I’m on the exercise bike daily for 1000-1500 km a month and eating MUCH healthier than I’ve ever done before, which is causing a fast but healthily sustainable weight loss as well as giving me a lot of energy and mental well-being.
When the weight loss starts to plateau, I plan on adding some (mostly upper body) resistance training both to speed it back up (as maintaining muscle burns calories too) and to avoid ending up too scrawny on top compared to the big legs the cycling naturally gives me.
Plus as you say, better to build up some resiliance while I’m still barely middle aged than to have to be REALLY up against it once I approach actually old 😁
42yo me: I just want to lose most of the weight I gained in my 20s and 30s
(60 lbs down, 110 or so to go)
41yo me with 2 kids, can I please have one hour just for myself or 8 hours of sleep for once??
And yes also the body fat…
