How to decide when to switch to maintaining and stop actively losing?

[SparklyTwinkleGlitter]

Aaargh, please help!!

I’ve lost over 5 stones, gone from bmi 39 to 25.2 and a dress size 22 to a 12 and I’m 10st 4lbs currently.

I lost most of the weight in the first 8 months and then it slowed right down. I’ve lost less than 5lbs in the last 3 months but since starting Mounjaro, I have completely changed my diet, increased my exercise and I’m running and lifting weights twice a week.

BMI isn’t a good measure for me though as when I was very skinny, rib and hip bones sticking out and a size 8, I would still have a bmi of around 22. I am short but naturally muscular with huge hands and feet. I definitely looked unwell and far too skinny as a size 8.

Initially, I plucked a figure of 9st 7lbs as my target weight and thinking if I’m a size 10/12, that would be perfect but now, I’m not so sure?

I’m in my 60’s and I think it’s important to retain some body fat and I don’t want to risk looking scraggy on my face and neck as older women are prone to do.

Any older ladies who have cracked this dilemma?

Round bum and flat tummy sounds brilliant! Currently the opposite. Hoping the Body Pump class I've just started helps build muscle

@QueefQueen80s - Where do you find the 30 day shred?

I do 2 Les Mills Shape classes and 1 Body pump class. Just about to start with a PT as well for 10 weeks to understand how to use the weights section of the gym (currently I just do classes!).

I’ve done Bodypump for years. It’s great to learn technique but not convinced it’s going to lead to noticeable muscle growth as the weights are light and due to the speed it’s hard to lift to failure. That being said it’s a great gateway into lifting.

either on youtube or dailymotion, all 3 levels are on there
