Most of the workouts I seem to do incorporate the whole body, which I am way happier with, so I think that is what I will keep doing.

I lost too much weight too quickly. The internet says it is mostly water weight even though I am keeping quite hydrated.

They say booze can be a peer pressure thing, well, so can food. When people see me eat, they are always offering me more food.

I changed my question to: how should I structure my weekly workout to gain muscle and lose weight for menopausal women over 50

What I found, the first article I read, made so much sense to me. I am posting it in its entirety, so you read all of it. Read all of it!!

Let’s talk about food. Not only eating for Menopause but eating for health and to lose weight.

Let’s talk about logging what you do. It wasn’t until I started seeing the calories and fat on paper that I realized how many extra calories I took in a day.

I have had several personal trainers over the years, both gym sponsored and not, and they each tell you something different. You need to do what is in your heart.

It’s difficult to make sure that you are exercising correctly, for you. Like, I want to follow along with everything, but as soon as I swing my arms, just the right way, it is debilitating...and painful.
