I am!

I'm doing one! It's my first 5k ever, I just finished C25k last week! I'm really nervous because I did the timed method, not the distance method, so my last run was only about 2.75 miles, and I went over the 30 minutes by a couple. I'm gonna be so slow, lol.

I'm pretty proud. At the time of the first picture I was a size 14. Today I bought some size 4 pants!

I went from 175 lbs to where I am now (~147 lbs) mostly not counting calories from alcohol (as long as it was just straight liquor, I count wine/beer). Didn't seem to affect my weight loss. That was a year ago. I still drink like the 24 year old grad student that I am. I think the trick is to eat high protein, and lift…

I totally know where you're coming from... I am addicted to chips and french fries. To replace that "snacky" feeling, I eat high protein/fiber, low calories substitutes like edamame, carrots/celery and hummus, pistachios and peanuts (in the shell, so it takes more time to eat them and feels more like a snack), smoked…

I second this question, please! Do you have any suggestions that you don't mind sharing for making these adjustments? I've been told over and over not to eat below 1200 calories, is that wrong?

I wasn't trying to be rude or hurry him along, I just noticed that I posted back on page 14 and Tony had replied to people after me, so I assumed he didn't see my post. No hurry, just making sure I got noticed! Hope you enjoyed your Sunday off. :)

I never got an answer either, so reposting... if there was something wrong with my question I'm sorry, but I dunno what it would be... Hi Tony, thanks for doing this! First off, I am a 24 year old woman, 5'6", 146 lbs. I would estimate my body fat percentage to be about 22-24%, but I've never had it taken by a…

Hi Tony, thanks for doing this! First off, I am a 24 year old woman, 5'6", 146 lbs. I would estimate my body fat percentage to be about 22-24%, but I've never had it taken by a professional. I lift heavy weights (modified Starting Strength program) and run for about 20-30 minutes 3 days per week, and I go to the rock gym…

I did a very short reset, only about 2-3 weeks, and now I'm at a 15% cut for about 3 weeks. I think I've lost a pound or two of fat, maybe built some muscle, and I just bought new jeans at size lower (size 6 instead of 8)! My weight is down from a consistent 147-148 to about 145-146. This might be working guys...

Thank you guys, that makes a lot of sense. Kind of disappointing to learn I'll have to cut more to stay at my goal, though. :(

Turkey bacon is pretty delicious and healthier. Also Trader Joe's has absolutely amazing chicken sausages for around 100 cals per link!
