I'm 58. I was cycling 100 miles a week and fasting for about 18 hours every day. I felt great but i had an overhanging stomach and was more than a stone overweight and couldn't figure out why. Turns out I was exercising too much and not eating enough. I started eating more, including protein (I hadn't realised how little protein I was eating) and did resistance training with dumbells 4 times a week. I cut down on the fasting, which basically means I simply skipped breakfast. It was scary, eating more than I had in years! But it worked. After all this time!! Stomach is gone. I can hardly believe it! We need to fuel our bodies so they feel safe in dropping fat, otherwise we are slowing the metabolism and in emergency mode the whole time. Try it, it really, really works! Save the fasting for just every now and then, while nourishing well the rest if the time. And I didn't eat HUGE amounts of protein, either. Just around 80g per day, which is less than recommended, but it was more than I'd eaten for years and years. I hate to think of the muscle I lost without realising. Edited to add: im not on HRT. i mention it because I'm often curious about other women.

You still skip breakfast only having two meals a day? Im postmenopausl and want to be able to sleep well and get enough protein in and at the same time lose 15 lb. I'm 41 also.

[@alicejwho]

@@annelovesadoption4714 yes, that's what I do. But it's more the fact that over the time I'm eating, I'm eating more than i did before. I found a longer fast, say 3 days, but only a couple of times a year, helps in the short term. But in order to get the most from a longer fast we have to have fixed our metabolism first.

[@Gingerinthesouth]

Maybe I’ll switch up my fasting window to earlier and add protein to see if I move the needle ! Thanks for info

[@alicejwho]

@@Gingerinthesouth I hope it works for you. Sometimes I think it's just a case of finding what works for us as individuals, given everything about us, like what our previous habits were, not just our age or stage of life. That can make it a bit trial and error (I was amazed that I could eat more and exercise less!) But the important thing is that we CAN do it, and to try not to lose heart. We can adjust our expectations and mske it BETTER than we had thought. Have a great weekend!

HRT started at 53. Immediately gained 10lbs all over ‘fluff’ although continued 4.8 HbA1c. Trying to tweak oestrogen/progesterone balance but 2 years later it’s not shifting. X

[@Gingerinthesouth]

It’s crazy isn’t it ? How so many of us can’t get past a certain set point to reach our goal? Are we all that stressed over losing weight that we can’t lose it? 😂

[@greggfletcher5485]

I am trying so hard to sleep but can’t!

[@goldstar846]

Hi Cynthia you always make me feel calm motivated and strong. your a gift to the world! xx ps mind blown.have developed sleep apnea and ox dep through the night. Only know this from having a smart watch. GET ONE LADIES!!! Seriously so helpful sleep tracking. anyway.... had a cpap machine forced at me....had a terrible experience with it. feels like life support. meh.not for me. I take hrt every 3 days (just estrogen gel) and guess what....I dont get sleep apnea that night. next night its mild...next night its bad. why are doctors not doing something with this???? surely I am not the miracle???

[@mc-eo1wh]

I always advocate own free body weight training and walking, even ti begin with. Those of us with multiple disc herniations and bilateral knee problems it's not wise to do jogging / heavy weight training

[@joannayen9043]

I’m 5-10 pounds heavier than I like to be and I can’t lose the weight! I’m 41 years old. My diet is fairly good.

[@caramia4789]

Me too.

[@iss8504]

Megan Ramos from The Fasting Method did 3 5 day fasts back to back to lose her last 10 pounds.

[@sherlyr.]

Maybe it's time to move away from "fairly good" to something much better?
