I think I do want to keep some cardio as well. I want to try running outside just for the hell of it. I do fall back on a lot of processed foods, and I really need to change that.
-
Completely agree as well.

I feel like a slightly smaller rectangle (#16). I used to look like #2 in high school, but without the boobs (definitely don't think I was as skinny as #1, but who knows). I kind of want to go back to that... EDIT: does that work now?

Thanks, my TDEE is at 1922. I definitely need to stop eating junk, and replace it with protein. I wasn't tracking how much I ate until 3 days ago, so I don't really know. All I can say is I've never stuck to eating complete meals. I've always eaten a little here and there because I usually get full pretty fast. I haven't…

I'm 5'7", too and I've dated a couple of guys who were 5'6". I didn't mind it at all!

Thanks for the reassurance, ladies! So if I'm starting strength training, how often should I work out? The first two weeks I went to the gym 4-6 times a week, started with 30 mins of cardio (treadmill only), and then went on to the weight machines. This last week I started with the weights first and then did about 10-25…

Is your icon from Wonder Showzen, or Adventuretime? (Sorry to hijack thread)

Haha, this is true, but I've definitely seen cases before where a person did just that (being snarky on purpose after getting an answer), because maybe it wasn't an answer they wanted to hear. Just some info on how us weirdos can read into things. :glasses:

Wanted to clarify about the dogwalking: obviously it isn't a continuous 5-6.5 hours. I included it as "exercise" for today, but I'd still like to know if this is ok. Should I ask elsewhere?
-
Haha, I totally read it as sarcasm, too. So, I get this. But I am a paranoid cynic when there is excess usage of ellipsis. People read things differently! It was cleared up and apologised for. No need for more snark from other users, IMO. I guess that's where it sounds like a school playground? Then again, I am also…

I just calculated my TDEE at 1922 Calories/Day. It said to subtract 15-20% to calculate how many calories I need to "eat daily to burn fat and lose weight at a steady pace." I got 1537.6 after subtracting 20%. MFP gives me a daily goal of 1400. So considering what I'm trying to accomplish, I should just aim for the range…

I've read about skating being great for toned legs before! Ahh, I would totally sign up at my local ice rink, but I already bought a bunch of yoga classes...I need to make more money, haha.

Thanks, I'm looking to buying the New Rules...soon!
-
Good point. I really should focus on my "diet". I just read around here about eating back your exercise calories and I took the lazy way out by eating chocolate to reach my goal of 1400. (I still have 26 remaining, actually. Oh well.) I guess I'll up my protein instead from now on. Thanks.
-
Right, so should I focus completely on strength training only since I'm already at a "normal" weight? I know losing body fat can mean doing cardio, too, but since building muscle will eventually burn more fat should I even bother with cardio?
-
Thanks for replying. My goals are to just "tone up", really. (I've read around here you can't really tone up?) I'd like to have leaner, shapely legs. A perkier butt, lose the saddle bags. Build a strong core, lose a couple inches from my waist, hips, and thighs. And I'd like to build some arm strength because I'm much too…
