Totally killed my lifts last night! New Rules of Lifting for Women, Stage 1 B2. Didn't increase weight for DL, lat pulldown, or OHP, but the cadence was better/smoother/faster. I increased my lunge weights by 5 lbs in each hand and added a 25 lb plate to my Swiss ball crunch. Absolutely loved every second of it! Tomorrow is Stage 1, A3 (add another set, but drop the reps by 3 each set). Can't wait!0

That sounds like some great progress, well done.0 -

Great job killing your workout! Have you weighed in yet or are you just a couple of days into this process?0

Two weeks in and gained way too fast...see next post!0 -
Week 2 is done.
Weight: 126.6 ( up .8 lbs this week, up 3.8 lbs total)
Goal intake: 2200
Actual average intake: 2325
Goal TDEE: 2000
Acutal average TDEE: 2195
Actual total surplus for the week: 952
Actual average surplus for the week: 136
Wanted to/let myself eat everything in sight because of TOM. It wasn't pretty. BUT...only .8 lb gain over the previous week, so not bad, I guess.0 -
That sounds like you are doing great. How do you get your 'actual' TDEE?0

I'm relying on my Fitbit for that. It served me well for losing and maintaining weight, so it should help with gaining!0 -
Great job so far!!
That reminds me that I need to look into a Fitbit!0 -
I don't usually weigh in mid-week, but I just wanted to this morning oh a whim. I'm down almost 3 lbs from my last weigh in (Sunday), with a total gain for about 1 lb in the last two and a half weeks. That's where I actually wanted to be, but the damn scale fluctuates. I'm not going to think about it again until Sunday.0
-
Do you find that your fitbit underestimates your TDEE? I believe that mine was off about 100-200 calories/day. I am still debating on whether or not I want to get another one to replace the one that I flushed down the toilet Friday night (don't ask).0

Hahahaha!!! I'm interested in getting the Force, but not sure yet.
I think it's pretty on target--it helped with maintaining my weight, so I'm confident in the numbers.0 -
Week three is almost done, weighing in tomorrow. Had a pretty badass session today. My grip strength is improving, I think. I'm feeling really great about everything--my lifting program, my food, etc. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about something!0

Yahoo! Doing great!!0

Week 3 is done.
Weight: 126.4 ( down .8 lbs this week, up 3.6 lbs total)
Goal intake: 2200
Actual average intake: 2166
Goal TDEE: 2000
Acutal average TDEE: 2223
Actual total surplus for the week: -399 (deficit)
Actual average surplus for the week: -57 (deficit)
Okay, so I was actually in a slight deficit this week, which is reflected in my small loss. I just need to be better about hitting my 2200 cals. Problem was that I returned to IF (doing 14:10 v. my previous 16:8) and was literally not able to get in enough food! I don't want to raise my goal intake because I like how my macros are set up right now...ugh!0 -
Feeling fat and gross today. Gonna try to post a pic of me before and now...let me know if either works. I can't view them at work right now, so IDK.
