I'm working with a woman who is 45 and trying to lean up while working through some major life schedule changes. She has a history of many years of hard lifting. She has experience and good form in power lifting, oly lifting, and had years of crossfit from a facility that had very very good coaches (I know many of you think good coaching and crossfit don't belong in the same sentence).
She's struggling with weight loss now and I'm wanting to help her set reasonable expectations.
I know for men, the idea of losing 1-2lbs a week is fairly normal (although 2lbs is quite accelerated).
For a woman around 5'3", 130ish lbs and estimated 22-25% bodyfat, what is a reasonable weekly weight loss goal?
Eating our elephant one bite at a time we are setting very small goals of 2 weeks short term to develop the new schedule, and 2 months for seeing what type of progress we can make.
She already has experience in good nutritional practices and lifting. She just needs some guidance in reshaping her routine to match her new schedule and goals and I'm trying to set some baseline expectations.
anyone with experience in this age group and gender that can provide feedback?
