Nice! I just finished that challenge, too!3 -
I just finished timeline photos for the #250Kchallenge at bodybuilding.com. Props to all the women on here! I love lifting heavy, but it is still a little mortifying to put up bikini pix.

You look wonderful? If you don't mind me asking, do you eat on a deficit? Or are you maintaining/eating more to bulk up?0 -

You have made amazing progress! I would like to know the answer to this question as well.michelekrystasmith wrote: »

I'm about half-way done clearing out my playroom to make room for my rack & bench. This bump has inspired me to get on it again this afternoon.0 -

Deficit. I shoot for 1930 calories per day. Maintenance for me is about 2200.1 -
@Reinventing_Me , this is 12 weeks. I participated in the 250kchallenge on bodybuilding.com and did weight lifting 3days a week and 30 minute cardio twice a week0

Still supah bulky, right Haha! I've been maintaining my 116 lb weight for 2 months & doing PHUL (4x week split). Added 2 glute days in top of that. My only cardio at the moment is walking my dog on the bike path for a couple miles of hiking, which I'm going today. I'm smaller in the waist and hips than I was when I first posted in this thread a while back.

I have a question. I have been lifting for about 3 months and have seen great results. I am 5'11" and 155.9....just broke the 156 plateau this week so proud. I am in deficit eating around 1400 a day. I am a runner also so I get about 15 miles a week and weight lift 5 days a week. I don't follow any structured plan beyond what I have developed. I am about 7 pounds down but my jeans don't fit anymore. Now for the question, I am having trouble keeping my macros in line especially fat. It seems when I really try to meet or exceed my protein goal, I get in fat trouble. I eat a lot of nuts, eggs, chicken, tuna and some butter. What do you that are lifting heavy think about fat and do you worry about it? And if you do how do you keep under the goals....btw don't like protein shakes much....0

1400 calories sounds like a pretty low calorie goal for someone who's 5'11 and running 15 miles a week with strength training. As for high protein low fat food sources, my go to is nonfat plain greek yogurt.4 -

I have that problem too. My preference of food used to be carb-based, especially lots of vegetable and fruit. Now I have more dairy products (pepper jack and also plain nonfat Greek yogurt), meat, and nuts because of the need of increasing my protein intake. The good side for having more fat is it t kind of takes over my need (or carving) of having carb-based snacks, but yes I'm worry about its negative effect to my existing health issue (suspecting it's hormone-sensitive and too much fat just doesn't sound right). I'm not sure if having more Greek yogurt is safer, but the fact that it has higher amount of protein & less fat/sugar (if it's plain) makes it a good alternative to red meat. I also have soy milk once a while as an alternative to 2% milk just to "buffer" the fat intake from other protein sources. I'd like to have more fish; unfortunately I don't live near the coast line & fish tends to be too expensive as a regular protein source...
By the way, I do think it's kind of hard to make adjustment to macro when the total budget is only 1400/day (I'm on about the same amount of daily calorie plan). I've tried making my protein go higher but that's like either lots of artificial ingredients (high protein ice cream bar) or lots of fat that comes with the natural protein source. I guess you can probably tell if your food choice is fine or not by your results..?! At least that's what I do at this point... I'd probably go more frequent for routine blood test just to make sure my increased fat intake does no harm.0 -
I've been lifting heavy for about 4 months. I don't think I look bulky.
The left side is me today. The right side (gym pic) is my first day of lifting. 12/28/15.

70 grams isn't bad. I don't know how you're doing that with 1400 calories though. Your meals must not be very high volume. I'm constantly trying to get above 50g.
