I turn 53 in a Few weeks and have rode The Weight Train for as long as I can recall. I am locked on to removing as much Body Fat as possible and maintaining muscle. Two Gastric Surgeries and every gimmick diet and fad pill behind and I still fight to get the weight off. Calorie Deficit and an active lifestyle are what’s on the menu from now on. High Weight of 513 six years ago got Down to 310 a year later creeped back up to 429 then back to 335. I then slipped back up to 399 in June of this year. Yesterday I was 314 and I can see getting in the 200’s very soon. Thanks for all of the Great Information it’s time I put it to action.

Track your calories! I had tried a lot of fad diets and complained a lot of my life about struggling with weight. Even without attempting a deficit, just tracking your calories is a huge eye opener. When you start seeing how much damage you're doing to yourself with the little handfuls of snacks here and there, and how much all the sauces and and things you put on food add to your daily calories it gets pretty easy to make better choices. I dropped a decent amount before even trying to go into a steep deficit by tracking everything I ate. I started realizing how many times I was adding 100 calories here and there just snacking. Add in the glp as stated above and now you have self control and awareness. That's a powerful combo.
 
52 here. Jumped into a cycle too early, myself. Results were great, but my lipids took a hit and I’m running the starter kit now. This forum and its members have been a great help. At your weight I would suggest Tirz for your glp. Good luck on your journey.
 
53 myself. I dropped off the BB lifestyle in my mid 30's when my kids got older and needed more of my time. Let myself get up to 320lbs. Last year started TRT and Tirzep. Down to 235 19% BF. From size 44 to size 36. Now I'm swapping it to Reta, HGH, MOT-C, SLU and test. Will be adding more Test Tren and Var early next year. I'm running a very intense high frequency 90 min weight session 5-6 days a week and 45 min of cardio 7 days. With all that the Tirzep was not allowing me enough real food ED. Reta should be better for that now. I am a total Endo so what know what's it's like to lose weight. I have tried all those fad diets. GLP1 is the real deal. Honestly I'm not sure I will ever come off of reta. It does so much to help your body besides weight loss
 
55 here, Bodybuilding lifestyle until around 50. Have enough size to where I can run 200-300 mg TEST C + 1-2 mg of Reta + 2 io of GH. I'll throw in 20 mg anavar 4 days/week pre workout.

I use Reta for bloodwork, as well as glucose control. I'm old school, I never had to track my macros, or calories for that matter, because my trainers taught what I needed to cut back on, and what to add.
