I'm actually training 6x a week but Sat is just straight yoga, very relaxing and lots of stretching. The 1.5 hr full body workout is only about 1x a week to ensure I hit both upper and lower body 2x total for the week. The other lifting days are about 45 min of just upper or lower. I can't change my schedule because I use…

I've been doing Mon-Wed-Fri, alternating upper body w/lower body but about once a week I've done a 1.5 hr full body workout. I feel like I have adequate rest time between weight training sessions but Tues/Thurs, I take 60 min power PiYo classes and that's a lot of body weight exercises, push-ups, planks, lunges, squats…

I've always been underweight and I have a low body fat percentage and my ribs don't show. The only time they do is if I suck it in a lot or lean really far back. I think it just has to do with how your body is built. I had a friend who was classic pear shape and kinda chubby from the hips down. Her ribs stuck out a lot,…

Thanks for the input. I just bumped up to the next activity level and that put my calories at 2140 so we'll see how that goes. I know I need to make more of an effort to track them. I'll be doing really good for awhile then miss a few days which leads to no logging for like a month. Anyone have ideas of easy ways to get a…

I guess my main concern is that I have gained weight but I'm certain my fat percentage is actually lower now. It was only 4-5 lb I've gained but when I was a lower weight I could definitely grab some fat on my thighs and other places. Now all I can feel is the muscle. So are my workouts actually counter productive to my…

I've never been a calorie counter until I joined here and I still hate it. I guess I feel like if I eat whenever I'm hungry, which is often, make good healthy food choices, have plenty of energy and strength for my workouts which I really enjoy, why is that not ok because some scale says I have low fat percentage? I…

Hmm....I guess I'm not eating my workout calories back? I have no idea how to track that, I don't do any cardio. But I did put in I wanted to gain 1 lb per week and that I workout 5x a week for 60 min and 2010 cal is the # it gave me. I usually eat more though.

Kinda rude. I obviously do eat a good amount and healthy food too, which I explained. I've never in my life restricted my calories at all.

I'm not really worried about the fertility thing. I don't plan on having another child anytime soon. It just surprised me. When I was 110-112, which is still really little for my height, I always had a normal period, had no issues getting pregnant and having a healthy normal pregnancy. I guess if I still got a normal…

Sorry, it posted without me adding additional info so I went back and edited my original post. I make sure to eat a min of 2000 cal a day. Some days I'm anywhere from 2300-2700. If i have a busy day and skip a meal or snacks, I immediately drop 1-2 lb. I've always been that way. I guess a doctor would know better but I'm…
