Starting Weight: 139.8lbs
Current Weight: 130.8lbs

Do you lift? Was. Taking a small break while I work on getting my sleeping schedule back in order.

Are you losing at a steady rate? No. Stalled. Lowered cals, upped cals, upped exercise, stopped exercise. Stayed the same weight for 2 months. Determined problem is most likely due to enjoying alcohol too late in the evening and disrupting my sleep. Prolonged lack of sleep.

I haven't taken measurements yet, but that reminds me I need to buy some measuring tape. I've definitely noticed changes in the mirror.

J_Le_Dunk

Starting Weight: 215
Current Weight: 177
Goal Weight: 175

Daily Cal Goal: Started at 1550 now at 1740
Exercise Cal: I don't keep the strictest track, but around 700cal 4-5 a week

Do you eat back exercise Cal: Depends on what I did for exercise. If I lift before cardio I try to make up for muscle building. If I only do cardio I do not.
Do you lift?: Yes, 4-6 days a week. And days I do I try to finish my workout with 15-30min cardio.

Are you losing at a steady rate?: I was, then stopped. Recently changed diet and workouts so started to lose again. If I slow my weight loss I change up my routine for diet and gym to shock my body into a better fat burning mode. Increasing my daily cal goal has actually helped my lose another 5+lbs and keep building muscle.
