Thank you for the reminder! Best wishes in your fight!

I would up your calories, most people seem to switch into 1/2lb a week when they're within 5-10lbs of their goal that being said, up them reasonably slowly - maybe by a hundred or so for a few days and a few more after that. Especially when you move up to actual maintenance so you can figure out how much you actually need…

Awesome guys, thanks for the input!

Yum!

I've pretty much been convinced that none of these are accurate. As much as I'd like a number to aim for I've settled for just the visual. I bought a scale that says it measures body fat.. I tried it and it told me that my BF was 35%. At 5'6, and ~140lbs that just isn't accurate.

1. Gala Apple - Yum. At least one a day. Sometimes more.. 2. Soy milk - in my coffee every morning, and in any smoothie I make 3. Dempster's 100% whole wheat bread. Toast and PB are my go-to snack/quick breakfast/post-workout/pre-run/everything food Looks pretty good... fourth one in is sugar though, hmm.

Spinach, strawberries, feta, salmon, and some balsamic dressing. I add about a half cup of cooked quinoa if I need more of a carb to keep me going. I could literally eat this every day of my life. Mmm.. Aside from that pretty much whatever is in the fridge. Throw it in a bowl and shake a bit of dressing over it, it's hard…

I think that you should feel energized and a little bit tired after working out - not exhausted, not in pain, not dead. So long as you're eating enough, feel okay with what you're doing and don't feel guilty/obsessive when you work out for less time or skip a workout then I think you're fine :)

19 and looking to lose just a couple more pounds :)
