Interested!!!

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate all of the information you provide. When I first joined MFP, I read your posts and then spent hours on your website. Thank you!

Ohhh, I'll go, I'll go! Although I'm pretty sure 90 minutes is already up. :smile: Hopefully this will be quick. When you talk about "lean people getting leaner" what exactly does that mean? I'm 122lb and 26% bodyfat (Dexa scan). Oh and I'm 5'6". I'm having a hell of a time seeing significant changes and I've been at this…

I had wondering if this book would be good. I looked at it awhile back but thought it was pretty pricey for an ebook (if I remember correctly). Maybe I should reconsider based on your recommendation. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts!! I read and re-read them and honestly, they all helped! I like the idea of thinking of myself as an athlete (I never really have as I'm not at all coordinated or athletically inclined). However, I think that is a great idea! On the occasional times that I've been focusing on a goal…

Hi there! Thanks for your response! Actually, I do the exact same thing! Every Sunday I make a big pot of grains (brown rice, quinoa, whatever, I try to rotate it), and a pot of beans (different beans each week - I don't eat meat) and then I have lots of different veggies I steam every evening. That does work well (in fact…

I don't have low body fat but I just had a Dexa Body Scan (which is supposed to be the "bench mark" of body fat testing). I'm at 26%. I have a handheld device that gives you body fat and it had me at 22-23%. So not all that accurate. I imagine the calipers aren't all that accurate either (unless someone very experienced is…

I use Vega Protein powder.

Thanks Sara! Really appreciate your thoughts. Oh my! Just got back from Dexa body scan. I was (in my mind) pretty far off! I'm at 26%!! Crazy, who would have thought?!?! :smile: I weigh in on Friday mornings and was down a lb this morning. I have been lifting the last five weeks. I didn't/haven't taken measurements. So I…

So how long did it take you make your transformation from "before" to "after"?

Thanks for this! You look great!! Maybe I should try upping my calories. To be honest, I do have a hard time hitting my macros at this level. But with that said, I do relax it on the weekends (nothing like I used to do) but I typically go out to eat at least once and will have wine. I don't usually log my restaurant meals…

Thanks for the tip. I found that thread and read it. Interesting!

My best 5k - 26.29 (8:31 minute mile) Best 10k 57:25 (9:14 minute mile) Training pace: usually around 8:50 or so. Although it is VERY humid lately and that has slowed me down.
