[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 741125, member: 16761"] I have a lot of health issues that affect how hard it is to lose weight like interstitial cystitis and now - perimenopause! I have just starting losing - but mainly because my back went out. I've always needed to do strength training to keep my back 'in its place' and keep the weight off. I think adding muscle helps me lose weight, although I know that's controversial but it does get things kicked off for me - although it takes a month of no results on the scale but seeing muscle definition. Everyone is different. I agree other exercise (cardio, walking) does not help with my weight loss. Although I did get a fitbit just to prove to myself how horrible this sedentary job is for me! This is what I'm doing (and have done many times - when will I learn this is HOW I HAVE TO LIVE?) well I get stressed out like copa and carbs and tv here I come! 1) eat less sugar/carbs, portion control 2) strength training (just dumbbells - a few sets) three times a week - increase weight gradually (I'm at 5 lbs! Weak!) I've always 'fasted' at least 16 hours a day (skipped breakfast) and I can gain or lose doing that so 16/8 intermittent fasting is not a factor for me unfortunately. I wonder if 5/2 would work better for me. Maybe someday. Good luck ladies! [/QUOTE]
