Ok - don't judge my drawing This is my progress for about 3 weeks

I wanted to share my progress pics but wasn't sure what was "appropriate". I take all my photos naked but I put hearts over my girl parts :) Just wanted to check to make sure that was ok before I shared!

I don't eat back my calories at all though...

Well, I do a mixture of movements. I sprint on and off the field. I typically get on base every time so I'm running the bases, most of the time getting doubles or triples. I move a lot, running after ground balls or as a cut off out to the outfield. There are also other few instances where I'm running, whether its to…

Ok - that makes sense. I was wondering if you were cutting. It looks like you eat less fat than I do and less frequently than I do. Not that it makes a difference but because I have a desk job, I tend to graze more than eat 3 solid, pretty high calorie meals.

You only eat 2,250 calories? For some reason I expected to see more than that.

Lol, I mean source of fat - some people may say the fat they eat comes from candy bars or ice cream. Others really focus on only eating "healthy fat" from things like avocado, nuts and olive oil. That's what I meant. But I was also asking how many grams? I've heard varying numbers as to what someone should eat.

Really?! I didn't know it was a myth!! What do you eat when it comes to fat? What kind and how much? And do you follow a "lower carb" diet or just eat carbs as you see necessary?

Haha, I was about to say - do I need to carry my scale around in my purse?! :)

I don't have 27lbs left to lose. I'm not sure where that came from but it is incorrect. AT THE MOST, 15lbs, but I'd be happy with 10. I am also 5'5. I also haven't gotten on the scale since I started. I don't like to put that much emphasis on what I way, especially since muscle weighs more than fat. Like I said though, I…

Perfect! I'll update it now :) And that makes sense, although I definitely don't make it a point to eat back any of the calories I burn. I will say it does concern me when I update my weight and goal because I don't want to run into an issue where my calorie intake is way too low and my body goes into starvation mode.…

Gotcha! So I use the food scale for things like sweet potato or chicken. When I use cups is when the label says "1/2 cup of quiona is xxx amount of calories".

Its ok :) I think that was left over from a long time ago.

What does that mean?

Yes. And if I happen to eat out, I tend to overestimate for that food item, rather than underestimate

Where is that information coming from? I'm 150lbs/ 5'5 and I want to be around 140, but I'm more concerned about how I look, rather than what my weight is.

The athletic conditioning class is a mixture of cardio and weights. We do a lot of intervals so it would be something like burpees for one minute, shoulder presses for one minute, jumping jacks for one minute and lunges for another minute. We will repeat that 4 times, then move on to another round of cardio and weights. So…

I use the polar watch to track my calories. Can it be off THAT much? I haven't gotten on the scale because I think its more important to notice a change in your clothes and seeing a difference by comparing progress pictures than relying on a scale. I do see a different in the progress pics, but its minimal. My clothes are…
