It is difficult as a woman (and particularly as a slightly older woman) but although you may not see the rapid strength gains that a young man would see, with consistent and progressive training you will make incremental gains over time — and strength training has a number of other benefits, some of which are very important for women as we age, including improving bone density and strengthening joints. I highly, highly recommend looking into classes or training options, particularly those with a focus on heavy weight-lifting (e.g. deadlifts).Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-20065748928025046362014-12-18T11:14:27.421-06:002014-12-18T11:14:27.421-06:00p.s.

That...First of all, congrats on the terrific loss! That's great news!<br /><br />I am a (near) daily weigher. I don't think I'm even stronger than you - I just view it differently. For me, by weighing daily I am used to seeing small fluctuations - so many numbers so often has robbed the scale of (some of) its power. It's all about point of view!<br /><br />I make my own chips at home. I cut corn tortillas into wedges and bake them in the oven. I really like them and I find they don't trigger me the way the ones in the bag do. I usually cut and back 2 tortillas and that's plenty!<br /><br />Congrats again Sean!necahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979071284874862384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-29286312235624906142014-12-18T10:02:30.812-06:002014-12-18T10:02:30.812-06:00Congrats on your weight loss!

I can see that now, with your daily recording, that my major problems with regaining were each attached to going back to sugar. Also, your observation of having the chips in the house and how they can "call to you" ~ Their to doing that for you at work. Interesting. I know this experience!!!!

I wonder if it's ever too late to try to get some of those muscles back?

And wha...Congratulations on the weight loss, Sean!<br /><br />And what a very cool photo that is of the last bottle of water. I'd be tempted to print that one out and use it as a reminder of how exciting water can be. :) With all of those raindrops and background lights, it looks like the water just exploded with energy. And, then, there's that hwole water contained in a bottle and water drenching the outside... chuckle.

I will put off exercise unless I make it a priority and I know that at my age losing anymore muscle is a terrible thing.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!

What I can't handle is going a long time between weigh-ins and expecting a big loss - and not getting it! I find that really crushing. I'm not expecting much day to day so whatever happens, it doesn't throw me off the rails. <br /><br />What you are doing obviously works for you, so keep doing it!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104693042948517678noreply@blogger.com
