Started lifting back in November of last year. Really trying to get fit in my 30s. Anyone in a similar boat or was? Would like some tips. Been excess of 200lbs since high school and weight cycles through my 20s. Just wanting to getting strong toned and active for my family. 31 5'7" 220lbs. I know it's never too late to start but I keep reading about how it's an uphill battle after 28(sounds bullshit to me) I get I can be harder but how much difficult can it be?

Getting your will done is probably a good move. Having your affairs in order and knowing your loved ones are taken care of will give you peace of mind. Also, treat this part of your life as a time for psychological and spiritual preparation for death.

Just kidding.

Actually, the advantage of being 30+ is the maturation of your mind. You’re better able to self manage. So eat a clean diet, get ideal sleep, be consistent and scheduled with exercise, avoid performance-hindering substances. With those conditions in place it would be hard not to see progress.

You’re not 19; but you’re not dead either.
