I put on weight this summer during a stressful phase, and I fortunately caught myself enough where I began to pull my stuff back together. I've been able to get around 24-25% (home bathroom scale). Even still, I fit none of my pants that I wore last summer. I may have stalled at 120lbs (since early December) with a desire to get back to my original weight of about 112bs (I'm 5ft1in).
Details, details:
5ft1, 120lbs
waist: 26in
thigh: 22"
measuring w/home scale in the AM before breakfast
food measurement done with food scale, measuring cups, teaspoons
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 quarter oatmeal, 1 quarter vanilla almond milk, 1 quarter blueberries, 1 chicken sausage link (never changes)
Lunch: I use Budget Bytes for my recipes, so that it's easier for me to measure and portion out servings
Dinner: same as lunch
Snacks in-between: air-popped popcorn, maybe, e.g. two tangerines or a banana,
Cheat meal once a week. If I have a cocktail, it's one evening out of the week.
kCal Intake: roughly 1500-1600
KCal Output: roughly 1800-1900 (I use my fitbit to approximate this number)
Workout:
-Strength Training: Wendler's 5/3/1 3 times a week
-Cardio: whole heartedly confess that I'm conflicted on what type of cardio training I should commit to. Run? HIIT? IDK In the past, my mornings consisted of either boxing 3x a week or running 2x a week. 3x a week in the evening, I did my compound lift program. I was 105lbs. When I left sports, I continued running and lifting and sustained a comfortable weight of 112-114lbs. I got a Tanita scale during that time with these stats: 113.2lb, 20.7% bfm, 23.4lb fat mass, 85.2lb muscle mass and happily maintained that for 2 more years until last summer.
Feel free to scrutinize any detail I'm lacking. I realize I'm really close to my goal weight and really just trying to shake the remainder vanity weight, but I like to gain perspective from others; it's motivating, and I haven't met a lot of people here yet.

I think that's actually a good problem. Just pick one and rotate when you get bored and/or it gets too easy.1 -

I'm inclined to agree considering I'm far from adapting to any form of cardio! I was thinking about adding 3 days of cardio under that premise then. Start supersetting my strength sessions after compound lifts, but also add in 2-3 days for a long jog, HIIT sprints, and a paced run.
Thanks for the encouragement so far.1
