Hello all My name is Leslie I am 5'5" current weight 125 current body fat 23% goal weight 120 goal body fat 19% I am currently training for my first half marathon and also lift weights 3 times a week and yoga once a week I am hoping to reach my goal by race time (Oct. 18th)

no where near too much you should be eating closer to 1 gram per pound of body weight. I am a 120 pound female and I eat close to 180 grams a day ( I lift heavy 3-5 days a week)

I was thinking the same thing!!

buy a caliper they are inexpensive on amazon and other sites and go to a reputable sight like bodybuilding.com and plug in your info

Amazon has some good ones at decent prices

I have been a member for a while but recently started tracking everyday and really measuring my food with a small kitchen scale and being mindful of everything I eat (also due to health reasons not just loosing weight) I don't have many friends and look at the community posts if something looks interesting or helpful so…

I looked at your diary's last entry you are not eating enough. you should be eating at the very minimum 1200 calories a day and you need at least one gram of protein per pound of body weight. If you don't eat enough your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto everything there fore you wont lose weight.

I would start whole 30 asap. cut out all gluten dairy soy sugar corn products. eat all natural whole foods it'll help big time!! Ive had bowel issues for almost three years and am being watched closely for hashimotos ive been gluten free for almost three years along with no soy or corn products and no sugar. I recently…

clean eating!!

Just don't eat processed foods period. personally the only sugar intake I get comes from fruit I don't buy weird things just eat clean natural whole foods meat veggies fruit and nuts

personally I eat the non fat plain greek yogurt for the probiotics I stay away from the flavored ones because of all the added sugar

I have a low resting heart rate as well around 60 per minute, and I notice I burn more calories lifting weights than cardio and my max doesn't go above 150 no matter what I do. I can burn about 300 calories doing 45 minutes of weights and if I did the same 45 minutes of steady cardio it would be about 200

What a neat idea! At my house we have a variety of weights and we also use the select tech adjustable weights. I am a 42 year old female and I try to lift as heavy as possible for about 8-10 reps as stated before women do not bulk it is genetically impossible since we lack high testosterone levels. so forget the pink…

I usually work out around the time the kids are going to bed, if I decide to have a snack its usually hot air popped popcorn no butter or salt, I have heard people who toss it with a bit of olive oil and add some type of flavoring but Ilove it plain low calorie and fiber

def leppard back in 88

I hate glitter, and I work with kindergartners

I am 5'5", my heaviest was about 175. currently about 128 which seems to be a good weight for me, was once 116 looked disgustingly thin.

bump

I am bumping for the recipe:smile:

I managed to do the whole 90 days last summer, its tough I'll admit but I saw it the whole way through. I have been trying to get back into it but my schedule during the school year is very hectic. Congrats to all of you that have started and are doing it and I am hoping to join you soon atleast a few days a week. My favs…

DITTO!

? what is prism?

Thanx!!! I appreciate all the feed back. I definitly avoid high fructose corn syrup, I am a big label reader. I also avoid white flour, pretty much most wheat based products. As far as fruit I eat apples, grapes, and a lot of berries. Thanx again!:happy: :happy:

I dont log my coffee- drink it black I dont log my iced tea- I drink the unsweetened variety I dont log my gum- I chew sugar free

Sounds like a great challenge to me. should have checked this last night, so I could have added reps to all my strength training, oh well. will start today though. :smile:

Okay have my recipe to share. Found it online at delish.com. Every Friday is fish/seafood night at our house, we have doing shrimp for the last few weeks. Shrimp Marinated in Lemon and Olive Oil 1 pound shrimp 3 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tomato (cut into 1/4 inch diced pieces) 2 tablespoons fresh…

I only have 3 weeks of p90x left. Let me know about the insanity, I heard it was just that insanity. Today was a terrible day :sad: ate too much of the wrong stuff yuck!:sad: tommorrow will be better

Arnold Select Sandwich Thins are similiar. 100 calories per roll and no high fructose corn syrup, they are great for sandwiches, burgers etc..

I have IBS type symptoms when I eat certain dairies like ice cream, cheese seems to be okay. and also when I used to raid my kids snack cabinet. I have been trying to eat clean and healthy lately and it seems to have curbed the symptoms for the most part. Every so often though they come back and so I take an immodium and…

I give miralax to my daughter every so often to help move things along, on the recommendation of her doctor of course, it takes a few days but seems to work.
