    Starting Weight: 139.8lbs
    Current Weight: 130.8lbs
    Goal Weight : 121lbs (around 8% to 10% body fat)

    Do you eat back exercise calories? Only half.

    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.

    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.
