Hello again! It's been a while, just wanted to update you on my progress. I have worked my way up to 1600 cals this week and I think this is where the road stops for me. The scale is continuously increasing and so are my measurements. I definitely notice some fluffiness in my abdomen area that I have already lost since…

BUMP :)

BUMP :) Just an update, I increased calorie intake to 1300 this week. Macros are 120c/120p/38f. So far, so good. I think I am getting better with hitting macros too while still being under calorie. So that means some ice cream at night for me!! :) I stopped cardio completely about three weeks ago. I only do the rowing…

Thank you!

BUMP :)

Middle is one week after adjusting macros to 114c/114p/36f @ 1236 cals. On the right, taken this am right after getting up. I measured myself…

48-hour Bump. Thanks guys!!

bump for reference in the future.

Thanks, Sara. I am on second week of 1236 cals. I calculated my macros last week and it seems I averaged 104C/117P/41F. I don't really understand how that happened -- I guess I just need to be more on top of hitting my macros more accurately. I didn't have any significant weight changes -- at least, I don't think so, so…

Hi sara, Just an update, I upped my cals intake to 1236 as of Monday this week. So far, my weight is remaining in the 96's. Monday, I was 96.8. Today, I was 96.4. I also readjusted my macros and did 114C/114P/34F. I;m gonna keep a close look on what happens to my body this week. But my question is, how quickly should i be…

Hi Sara, I eyeball probably twice a week. But most my meas are prepped and planned on the weekends. :) i pretty much eat the same thing during the week.

Thanks, Sara! :)

Bump :bigsmile:

Thanks, Sara. Just an update. I started doing deadlifts and squats with a 50lb barbell. I was fine, but again, easily hungry throughout the day. Currently reading NROLFW and also read through SL 5x5 (not sure if I can do this one). Yesterday morning, I weighed in at 95 lbs.

Bump. I'd like to keep track of this thread. Thanks for all the awesome input!

Thanks for responding, Sara! TBH, I am not following a specific lifting program. I am currently perousing over the forum to look for one right now. Do you have any recs? Right now I just do mostly lunges and squats with a 30lb barbell or two 15lb dumbbells. I also do curls and chest presses with 20lb dumbbells. Even with…

yes -- definitely have access to heavier weights! but right now, i feel i can't lift them too heavy :(

THANK YOU! :)

Hi Sara! Thanks for responding. I wasn't sure if it was okay for me to seek intake advice since I don't think I am experiencing a "plateau" per se, but yes, any information you could provide would be appreciated. Provide your stats (height/weight/age/bodyfat% if you know it/etc) – 4'9/97lbs/28 years old/~21% BF from Navy B…

Yes that is pretty much me. I work out 3x/week and have a desk job. I am a therapist. I do walk around the office quite often though and not strapped to my seat all day. Sorry that I am a little confused, but should I increase my cals or keep it the same as 1150? I have been hungry on 1150 especially on days I work out. :-(

Hey Heybales, Thanks for the quick response! You're right, 20% may be a little too aggressive for me, especially since I'm not really interested in getting lower than 95 lbs at the most. So basically you are saying, I should go back up to 1437 cals to maintain current weight and just do weight lifting 3x week? If that is…

tagging so I can do this when I'm at home! :)
