Is there anyone who would like to check over my food diary and see if I am eating enough, too much, what I could change. Any suggestions at all.
My weight is crawling off. It still goes down but by ounces. It never came off quickly, At most 2 lbs a week, but average 1/2 to one pound. I know as you get down, it is slower but it really seems to be like a turtle stuck in molasses in February. My inches do change, slowly as well. I am putting on muscle, and things are tightening up, so I am pleased as can be with that.
I am 13-17 lbs from my goal weight.
I am 5'5, 39 years old, was 211(feb 2010) and now 157.
I am at the gym every day, my schedule looks like this
Mon -20-20-20( cardio-weights-core) Its a great class at the Y.
Tuesday - What a waist! class. Strength, toning, TRX, a little cardio 60 mins - very tough class
Wednesday - Stability ball class 60 mins(lots of strength and balancing, squats, weights)
Thursday - Spin(60 mins and I push hard thru this class) and core(15 mins) Yoga(45 mins)
Friday - Bootcamp. and I push it hard. 60 mins
Saturday and Sunday I do 30DS just for a quickie routine on weekends.( I just started doing this last week)
I also walk a lot. On the weekends we try to do things that are physical.

I sit at a desk for a job, but I work from home, so I am up and down all the time. I dont just sit for 8 hours. I would be bored stiff. lol.

    At your current weight and height your BMR comes out to 1388 cals. With all the working out you do you may be under on your calorie intake. I am not sure how many cals you burn with your workouts. The only other thing I would say is you may be low on your protein intake. Your carbs seem to be very high. I think MFP puts the P/C/F ratios off a bit. I changed my ratios to be 45% protein 35% carbs and 20% fat. I do have a bit of fat on me to lose though. When I become a little leaner I will go to a 40/40/20 ratio. A lot of the threads here mention that carbs are used first by the body as energy before burning fat. Just a suggestion. Good luck.
