Oh wow ! I’m so so so very thrilled to have found your channel. Whyever did I not think to look up a video for women over 40 before ?! I was just in such a pickle because things weren’t working very well at all for me for the last couple of years but it hadn’t hit home why. Thank you so very much just for thinking of us . You’ve got me all teary now. I’m very grateful.

I woke up this morning tired of feeling tired. I'm 53 years old I've gained 40 lbs in the last 3 years . I searched KZbin for inspiration and tips on a body transformation and I found you! Thank you for the tips, instructions and inspiration! Years ago I was a competitively power lifter and have always enjoyed weight lifting. These last few years have been very stressful. I worked in healthcare until just 8 weeks ago when I realized if I was going to regain my health my stress level needed to come down dramatically.

LOVE that you posted recipes in the description. LOVE protein pancake recipe - have made it twice!! Just wish description wasn’t missing amounts, recipe ingredients and step by step descriptions although when you’re making in the video, wonderful and detailed Just hard to rewatch videos with busy family life, would be nice to have the amounts and how many meals they make so I can read the recipe and meal prep with containers as necessary Breakfast: The pancake recipe description is missing ‘oatmeal and also missing baking powder and milk Marinated Chicken and baked potato and Black bean salsa recipe description missing black beans and amount, missing 300 grams raw weight potatoes Marinated chicken missing ginger paste Dinner: Chickpea curry Missing chickpeas and amount Protein and oat bars 120 g oats 4 scoops protein Tbs Cocoa nibs Few raisins Coconut milk Spray loaf pan light oil Bake 15-20’minutes

Hey Melissa, just found you and subscribed to you today. What a relief to hear that I am not losing my mind. I have been into fitness for most of my life doing one thing or another but, these last few years it has been very frustrating. I am 53 now and just couldn't fathom why I could not build the muscle anymore to the point I was losing the will. But I am not a quitter and have always kept going no matter what. It was interesting to hear you talk about running. I have been running for years and in the last 3 years have seen little to no impact on weight or increased fitness levels, the only good thing was it kept my mind well (I do enjoy a good run) but realised after hearing you talk about the no benefits to weight and muscle I realise now that running every day is not the way to do it. Also the food thing, exactly the same as you were, Intermittent fasting and out of balance protein, carbs and fats. I am plant-based and have been for 11 years so have a good knowledge of good proteins and carbs and have already upped my protein. Although eating prior to and after training is something I have never done so this will be the real challenge for me. I have just rejoined the gym and went back to old ways of working out because I did not know any other way. So, now watching and taking on board what worked for you regarding strength training, I am now ready to change and swap over to this kind of training. Thank you, you are an inspiration for women like me over 50 and show that it can be done. I will monitor and log my journey so will let you know how I get on in a few weeks. Take care.
@private74192 жыл бұрын
I hear you, Lisa. It's so frustrating putting in the work but not seeing any results. I like so much of what Melissa's saying. Like you though, I also prefer plant-based, but personally, struggle with the protein as I've been told that my allergy tests come up saying dairy and eggs are a problem for me. Add to that not being a fan of meat or soy ... LOL. It's rather a trick to juggle. Personally, I do like some of the IF components. For instance, not constantly eating/snacking is almost a relief. Eating before and after working out, like you say, will be an adjustment. However, eating right before bed, hmm, ya, no, that's not going to be for me. Some people manage to be avid runners (and still lean and trim) for their entire lives. There must be a way to do it, but I like what Melissa is showing us and feel it's worth exploring. :)

Over the yrs I took myself off a lot of the meds. I was taking over 17 pills a day. Craziness! Now I'm only taking 4. I gained over 20lbs. I use to do Cardio kickboxing & very active.

All you have to do thereon is to lift weight 5/6 days a week, eat no less than 1400 calories a day ( lean meat, ) is the key, sleep really well and HRT ... she is fit but she still has the pouch and that's how our body will be forever after 50 ... don't follow any diet because each to her own and blood type so a dietitian and a well experienced trainer with women over 40 will be your best friends in your aging journey..Good luck
