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?

Counting calories is great, but you are going way too low.

If you want to lift and lose weight, don't put calories too low. Go with a low deficit and focus on putting in good workouts - you will need proper fuel for that.
