Hoping I can tap into the collective knowledge base here.
As I approach 40 in a couple years I have started working on looking after my body after almost 2 decades of abuse from food, wine and thinking I’m invincible in my 20s early 30s when it comes to warming up treating injury etc.
My target is to lose 20k over the next 12 / 18 months - however this is not straight weight loss a bit of body recomposition in terms of lean muscle strength etc.
My work out is generally gym 3/4 times a week focusing on weights 3 x 8 -10 reps or failure if an easily “escapable” movement , I’m not brave enough to go to failure on the bench - ha.
And started playing 1/2 games of 5 a side a week
Diet wise I’m at about 1500 cals per day aiming for 50% from proteins.
My frustration is that I am struggling to loose weight in a consistent manor so wondering if there is something I’m doing wrong.
Ideally I’d like to loose .5 - 1kg a week at a steady rate rather than now where I can loose 2kg one week and gain .5 the next.
Any tips welcome
