Welcome!
We have a bf% calulator we're all using, as measurements can vary so much with bf measurements

yeah, don't like that one. It has me at 40% BF. When I use the pinch calipers i'm at 23.
Oh and I'm planning on eating a flat 1894 calories a day. I just started on a 4 day split routine. Went on a bulk phase and gained 10 pounds, have since lost about 4, need to get the rest off and then some, so hopefully this will help!0 -
Been super hungry the past two days. Went 56 calories over my goal today. Meh, no big deal. Running 3 miles tonight, yesterday was leg day and my abductor and adductor muscles are killing me so running should be fun. Homemade vegetarian jambalaya for dinner tonight!!!0

Did well yesterday with diet and exercise. Made up my own little HIIT circuit that I did for 5 minutes or so and it kicked my booty. So today is leg day and this one always wears me out. ALWAYS! So far my weight is the same from before my horrible weekend, so I'm hoping for a loss by next weigh in.

So far today I've ran 2 miles. Planning on going running/walking after work as well. sore sore sore from yesterdays workout but leg squat day always does that. I've decided to implement doing 10 push ups at random times through out the day as well to hopefully get better at them. :blushing:

Rest day today and yesterday. I feel gross and fat and wonder if I will ever freaking lose weight. Haven't in awhile. I'll keep on keeping on though. :frown:0
-
I'm quitting this challenge.0
-
What? Why? Don't quit!0
-
Cause I don't feel like I am making any progress. Not sure what is going on with me but I'm not losing weight and I'm pushing myself as hard as I can without overtraining. I'll stick with the challenge for one more week. but if nothing changes I'm done. I'm at wits end with this. Being the same weight, measurements and looking the same for sooooo long and trying sooooo hard wears on me.0
-
Do you do cardio? How did you calculate your TDEE? I would suggest you perhaps are overtraining, because you've said a few times in your blog that you're sore. How much sleep do you get? Also, whats your goal?0

Don't quit!
First off, you've only been at it a little over two weeks; unfortunately, for us women, weight loss doesn't happen as quickly as we'd like because of water balance issues.
I guessed at your activity level but using the Katch-McArdle method of estimating TDEE, it looks like you're exactly where you should be for a 15% cut. Unfortunately when your deficit is only 15% it pretty much means that you can kiss any results good bye when you 'cheat', even just a little bit. You posted that you had a 'bad' weekend last week so that may explain why the scale hasn't really budged.
Don't give up hope just yet. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet either, though my back has pretty much sidelined me from any and all physical activity. I hope this helps and I in no way mean to sound officious by it Just trying to point out some stuff because it's easier to see from an outsider's perspective.
Also consider, you look great! So there's something to be happy about.0 -

Not at it only two weeks. This time yes. But, I wasn't losing weight to begin with awhile ago so I went on a 'bulk' so that I wouldn't just quit altogether. Now that the bulk has stopped nothing seems to change either. Blah. I'll keep at it for another week like I said. But if that doesn't produce something, then I'll just continue on with my mfp and stop this challenge for now. and i did have a bad weekend last week.
I'm just being a big baby that is frustrated. I know. 0 -

I don't get super sore but I do get a little due to the change from 5-7 reps to 10-12. I don't think I'm overtraining now though. Just do a 4 day split with supersets of about 3 groups. And some days I run 2 miles ends up being about 2-3 times a week. Sleep on average 6-8 hours a night. My goal?? to not be fat. lol. Um, I guess, ideally I want to drop about 5 more BF points. Right now according to my pinch test i'm at 23%.0
