Weight Loss/Maintenance

(14,642 posts)I was walking and rowing every day and still gaining weight. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I joined Beachbody (yeah, I know... marketed to conservative stay-at-home moms). They do a portion control thing using colorful containers, based on your current weight. So I followed that religiously. Turns out that my own portion control had been a bit off.
Also, I found that weight training is a must as we age. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, but we have to work to keep it. I currently do my favorite program, P90X, which is one of the advanced ones. I lost 26.5 pounds and have kept it off for 2 years. And Im strong and lean.
I would highly recommend weight training added to your cardio. And Id ditch the juice. Eat only whole fruit. (Im allowed 2 servings/day at my weight.)
