    10% bodyfat
    315 lb bench press
    500 lb deadlift
    405 lb squat

    I workout on a 4 day split that I repeat: Legs, Chest and Triceps, Back and Biceps, Shoulders
    My lifting is reverse pyramid and hypertrophy based with a rep range of 8-12 reps per set.

    I'm currently cutting to lose body fat eating 2000 calories a day which is about my TDEE - 20% and I have my protein minimum set to 150g a day and my dietary fat minimum set to 74g a day. I eat whatever I want as long as I hit my two macro minimums and don't exceed 2000 calories. I also aim for 40g of fiber a day and hit all my RDA micronutrient goals.

    Goals: run a half marathon and lose 30lbs.

    Eat: anything, but only when hungry.

    Workout: run 30-60 minutes every other day, cycle 60-120 minutes on the other days. Rest when needed 1-2 days a week.
    Am dodging strength training for now, but will have to start on that sooner rather than later...

    Wow you guys have a lot of goals. I like how there is such a variety.
    Some of you have mentioned you steer away from weights? Any reasons for that?
    Others have mentioned they eat a great deal of protein while staying within their calorie range. How are you guys accomplishing this? Is this from protein shakes and the like?

    Thanks for responding everyone. Keep pushing!

    Currently I've been working on lowering body fat to 18-16%(maybe lower), I want more definition in my body, and for once in my life I want either a flat stomach or Abs!

    I just finished a slightly modified version of Erin Stern Elite Body 4 Week Daily Fitness Trainer, which I'll probably continue with the addition of a 'heavier' leg day once a week. I also tend to walk daily.

    Diet is between - 20-25% of my TDEE, Protein is a minimum of 130, Fat 51g, I tend to keep my carbs below 100 (mfp sets it at 81) and eat either extra protein/fat if I'm below on calories.

    My long term goal: I would like to get into female fitness model shape. I need to gain more muscle and lean out. Ultimately though, I would like to obtain a physique I've worked hard for and will enjoy for as long as I can.

    I like all of your responses ladies!
    Have you guys found results with what you are currently doing? Are you all headed in the right direction? Any plateaus?

    I have been working on chinups since august and have just this week succeeded in doing them unassisted. I plateaued for a long time but that had more to do with being on a pretty hard cut for a while. I've backed off and my lifts are going up again.

    I can do a wall handstand for 60sec but still working on strength/balance for freestanding ones. Using the guideline from nerd fitness.

    In the short amount of time I've been working at it, I've been noticing some changes! My arms/back have a more noticeable definition, the rest of me has become firmer even in a relaxed state.

    Going only by online bodyfat calculators, I've lost about 1.6% in the last four weeks but my weight has remained the same.

    One day at a time, it all adds up!

    My suggestion is to give weights a chance! Most people steer away from them because they are new and scary. As for protein I have two scoops of protein powder a day. One I mix into my morning oatmeal and the second I take in plain water after lifting. The rest of the day I eat things like turkey, chicken, tuna.. etc!

    I guess I was the one who mentioned not doing weights. I know I ought to, and I have in the past with great results, but I just really hate being sore all the time. Mind, that's what is happening with the running and cycling now, so I really should add some upper body strength and a few squats/deadlifts to even things out :tongue:

    OP - what are your goals? I don't think you mentioned...

    My goals are to build lean muscle and get energy! I started losing weight with a nutritional cleansing system that does just that! I love it! I have about 12lbs left to lose. I'm also a nutritional consultant and want to help others reach their goals! Would love to help anyone else out. PM me for details :)

    Short term goals: get back to lowest weight of 175, do an unassisted chin-up, go on a backpacking trip, learn to make healthy choices with food.

    Long term goals: get to a healthy bmi (160 lbs), earn a black belt, pass the firefighter fitness test, know my body well enough that I don't have to count calories.

    I've just started on my goals. So far I'm focusing on eating within my calorie goal. Workouts are riding my bike, walking and doing stronglifts 5x5
