Agree

I don't disagree with you. I personally target 1g per lb because it's working for me. Loss is slow and steady with no muscle loss. But I recognize what works me may not work for others. Coaches is a whole nother topic. Seem like anyone who works out and has had success cutting BF is qualified to be an online coach. Lol.…

I totally agree about tracking / measuring what you eat carefully. Consuming too much or too little isn't good and will cause a stall. Also keep in mind, weight loss is about calories but fat loss is a little different. It all really depends on ones goals. The beauty of the world is everyone is different. Good luck on your…

Her coach has probably adjusted her macros for a cutting program. Which could be as high as 1.5 grams per lb. it's usually short term to cut fat and maintain muscle. It's up to the individual and what works for them. There are many different schools of thought. Don't attack my response lol. Im just sharing info.

Holy moly

I'm close to your size and am doing iifym. I also lift heavy 4 days a week and fit cardio in about 2 days or so. Best advice I can give you is stuck with macros for a couple of weeks before adjusting. You need to give your body time to react. I have been doing it for about 2 months and just figured out my calories/ macro…

I did the same thing today. Awesome feeling for sure!!

Sure

Are you doing a 2 day ride that is 130 miles total? or a one day ride for 130 miles? Either way thats a great gaol Hills are tough... I recommend doing some strength training. core and arms are just as important as legs.

think damn... he looks good for 100. ;)

This might be the nicest PT post I have seen.

feel free to add me Im 5' 1" and lift 3 x a week and some other sort of cardio about 2-3 x a week. I dont post a lot but I have lost over 50 lbs you can look at my logs if you like :)

Story of my life!!

How is it working for you so far?

I'm at 17.5 on shoulder press too.

We are close to the same spot! Weight room is intimidating for sure! I am greatfull that my boyfriend and I used to lift together before I started the program and helped me learn to navigate the weight room. Don't think about the starting weight so much... Focus on if you are getting stronger

If it makes you feel any better I was not totally new to lifting when I started the program.

Hahaha!

I do but I don't usually realize it till after when my friends point it out. :| I usually just think their being friendly.

Oops I was supposed to in increase today.

Oh gotcha!!! Don't envy me too much. I have to increase next week.

So you are going to do 24 weeks of stage 1? I'm doing pretty well on squats, heavy (2 45 plates) and deep. It's upper body I'm struggling with.

I could use some lifting friends too

How did your first few weeks go?

Just curious, what weight did you start your dead lift, squats and lunges at?

I eat 1500ish (1800 on lifting days). Feel free to add. FYI, I don't log everyday but I do log. :)

Awesome work!

Probably not.... But above her, yep
