Advice for me too.

oops..............I've fallen to page 3. :flowerforyou:
I've been continuing with your original advice of 1500 cal, 125g carbs, 55 g fat and 125g protein.
Week # 6
Sept. 15th - 21st
Calories 1501
Carbs 114
Fat 60.5
Protein 124.5
Weight 154.4
My weights with stonglifts went backwards this week. Hurt my shoulder stacking firewood. My husband considers stacking wood strength training anyway.
Week # 7
Sept. 12st - 27th
Calories 1512.5
Carbs 119
Fat 59
Protein 122
Weight 153.2
This week I switched to 5/3/1 which I am really liking. I enjoy doing the assistance exercises as well as the main lift. I also like doing the lifting 4x per week. I was doing pilates 2x per week but will be giving that up as the instructor isn't at the gym anymore.
So basically I am feeling energized this week. Weight is coming off. Measurements have gone down slightly (.5 inches on waist and hips) but I'll take it.
I will keep going as instructed unless you have other suggestions.
Cheers :drinker:
Week # 8
Sept. 29 - Oct. 3
Calories 1508
Carbs 118
Fat 60
Protein 122
Weight 153
Week 1 I was 157 lbs. So have lost 4 lbs in 8 weeks.
Just finishing week 2 of 5/3/1 and find I am craving carbs (but resisting) rather than my normal protein crave. Should I continue with the 1500 calories? Visually I look leaner and measurements are down .5" on hips / waist. I hold my weight in my stomach area. Should I still be working to lower the body fat?
Look forward to your response.

I would keep going as is honestly. If your carb cravings are getting the best of you, you could consider dropping fats just slightly and increasing CHO on days where those cravings are bad. Just for example even a slight drop in fats to 50g would put your carbs in the 140g range.0 -

Regarding the above, that's entirely up to you. Are you satisfied with how lean you are?0 -

Fairly lean everywhere but my stomach.0 -
I'll be away for about a month around Christmas. Eating out all the time. I have trouble hitting protein numbers when I'm not eating at home. And my carb numbers are higher. Should I be adjusting my macros in any way leading up to this trip?
My exercise routine is going to take a serious hit as well. I'll have to get used to doing some body weight exercises. Right now I am doing 5/3/1. Any suggestions?0 -
Moving this up so Sara and I can chat about it.0
