    I eat on average 2000 to 3000 calories a day. ive always used the gym weight machine but started doing deadlifts, squats with bar and dumbbell exercises. when the weight comes off I want a hot body already there. add me can use support and help from women that already lift heavy

    Even if this thread has gotten too big for your group, I still welcome any friend requests from fellow women who lift heavy things! Having the support for lifting is great. I'm 7 weeks in to SLs (took last week off due to work). I was eating 1900-2000 calories a day but have since dropped down to aim for 1700-1800 as I worked on finding my TDEE-20%. Now I'm happy where I am but am not afraid to have a free for all kind of day and eat whatever I freaking want. Once I get closer to goal I will gladly start raising them back up again but that is a ways away for now.

    Hey guys. I lost 40 pounds on a 1700 calorie a day plan. About a month ago, I stalled. Couldn't loose another ounce. I found the courage, somewhere, to up my calories to about 2100 on most days.(1900-2300) about. Since then I have lost almost 4 pounds and am shocked. I told myself I was going to fuel my body and metabolism from here on out and not starve myself by decreasing calories. Anyone can add me as I am ALWAYS looking for people WHO EAT!! Not really into lifting yet but I will be soon. I have everything I need to lift at home, but I just started T-25. Anyways, I'd love to join the group!

    ooh, pick me, pick me.

    I've been lifting a few weeks now, and I'm trying to up my food.
    I havent settled on a lifting program as yet, as my trainer tells me what to do still :)

    I could definitely use the support for a group like this!

    Realizing that after I started logging my food again that i'm probably not eating enough. I've always tried to keep myself in the 1500-1700 cal range but now that i'm working out 5 days a week (combos of cardio, lifiting or bar method) i'm beggining to realize i'm probably not eating enough. I could def use the support from a group not so stuck on the 1200 cal thing.

    Hey,
    Great thread. I eat about 1700 on average(i am guessing more) and have just started getting myself introduced to lifting. I would love to lift heavy and more but getting there slowly due to some issues.
    Hope i can learn and get inspired from all the lovely ladies. I love food :love:

    Please add me to the group! I aim for my TDEE minus 20% which ends up about 1811 (I eat back most of my exercise calories but I still think I'm too low probably). I work out fairly intensely 6 days a week, 3 of those days are hard-core strength training with resistance bands. I was a weight lifting junkie in my previous "fit" life that I'm trying to get back into but I can't believe the HUGE progress I've made with these bands. I'd love to be on a board with women who are doing the same exact thing. My weight/fat loss is slow and I sure could use some ideas from people doing the same thing. Exciting!

    HI there
    I have just started lifting and have The New Rules of Lifting for Women ordered second hand on Amazon and I love the idea that I can still lose fat without starving myself. Currently I am doing a mix of yoga/pilates and cardio in the gym about 5 days a week and am only about 5kg from my target weight but about 30% bodyfat, so this needs to change.
    I have been logging with mfp for a few weeks now, temporary abandoned it for noom but this will probably all change. So I would love to join your group if I am not too late.
