I read that going, wait, is that me?? I was the same way. I am also 5'0" and struggled with disordered eating since I was a child. I hit my lowest weight at 18 and was threatened with hospitalization. Then I had a major traumatic experience and something switched. I met my now husband after it, we had kids, and after the…

Depending on where you live: Kroger 7 grain Gluten Free Sandwich Bread Against the Grain (everything from rolls, baguettes, to pizzas) RealGood (low-carb gluten-free frozen foods - high…

@tammierlewis Yes! It is a lot of fun. My mom and partner did it together a couple of years ago. My mom and I are going to do it together this year. The point is to climb as many climbs as possible in 24 straight hours. I've been climbing since I was 2. I used to take it pretty serious but after having my kids, I gained a…

One of my go-to comfort food meals is an Italian dish my nonna made a lot. It's salsiccia italiana con patate e peperoni e salsa di pomodoro (Italian sausage with potatoes and peppers and tomato sauce). I absolutely love it. I sub the sausage for a chicken based sausage instead and it is around 360 calories for one…

Always happy to share what I can! I try to mix my meals up but definitely have a few staples that are common week-to-week.

I have a 24 hour climbing competition in September this year. Trying to lose fat and gain muscle so the endurance is easier. Good luck, everyone!

Not necessarily low-fat, but healthier fats: I sometimes make a carbonara using avocado. It's delicious and avocados are such a great source of "good" fats. The recommendations of traditional cacio e pepe as a replacement are also great.

Ah, okay. I'll be adjusting it now. I did fall into the obese category with my weight, so I had it set to bring myself down to a normal range.

Thank you! Reading the article now. I have! I loved it because it really opened the world's eyes to the climbing community. I started when I was 2, so it's been cool to watch the world become more aware. To psuLemon: I have it set at 2 pounds/week. Okay, I'll do that. Thank you so much!

Just inputting my info into MFP has me consuming 1200c/day. My BMR is 1332 plus I try to aim for around 200-300 calories burned in workouts. I have a hard time hitting my macros most days (plus I've just been feeling full, probably due to my medication), but I try to go 93g fat|80g protein|33g carbs on muscle days and 50g…

Okay, thank you very much for the response! I am a rock climber, so I would like overall muscle gains. My muscle focus days have been specifically arms/shoulders/back/core. With my cardio days, I get a lot of work on my legs, so those have been toning pretty well. I'm just wanting to see more of the fat come off. My core…

Weight loss is my goal, plus muscle building. I do high intensity cardio 3 times a week and then muscle group focus twice a week, using my weekends for walk/yoga/rest. So I have been doing high-carb/low-fat on my cardio days and low-carb/high-fat on my muscle group days. Weekends are mid-range, just shooting for mid-carb.
-
Honestly, I'm not really sure. I feel awful if I don't eat carbs, so I was kind of hoping to just reduce it to really low a couple of times a week to see if it helped at all. But everything I read said to keep your fat content high on those days and protein in the mid-range, but my protein is always high on those days.

I have a few: -to hit my first "goal" weight (145 : I'm about 5 pounds away) -to bring my BMI down to 28 (it's at 30) -to bring my body fat percentage down to 30% (4.7% away)

I usually wait until they are down for nap/rest time (mine are all under 8 years old). If they are awake and I try to work out, I get so stressed.

Hiya! Mom of 3, just dipped to 48 more pounds to lose to get to the weight I'd like to be at.
