I also started SL in February and have lost one pound per week at 1300 calories per day, more carbs than I should be having at, and keeping my fat between 10-20 % of my total calorie in take. I struggle to get my protein macros up due to food allergies. I cannot eat any protein bars or protein powers. I am getting…

Wow! I am trying to lose 60 lbs. I started weight lifting a couple of months ago. How long did it take you to lose all of that weight and did you have any skin removal surgery? Are you eating high protein and low carb?

wow! What a huge difference 24 lbs made! You look great!

wow, great job!

You look fantastic in such a short period of time! I will have to look in to exactly what Keto is. 'thanks for our post :)

I LOVE Battle Ropes and Stronglifts 5x5. Battle Ropes are super fun an burn about 10 calories a minute. It is great cardio while burning fat and building muscle at the same time.

If your gym has Battle Ropes or an Endless Rope those are great, especially the Battle Ropes!

Oh my gosh I think we are twins! You are describing be in every way except I an inch shorter. I

"I know there are some who use fractional weights to help with increasing loads. Any thoughts? Links to those anyone? " I love 2.5 lb fractional weights.

Today before work Squats 5x5 100 lbs Deadlift 1x 105 lbs OHP - I did 3 types of shoulder exercises with 20 lb dumbbells instead I am trying to lose a total of 65 lbs of fat. So far I have lost 9 of it but it is going very slowly (one pound per week). I find it impossible to keep my carb macro's in line.

Greek yogurt and cottage cheese

I just changed from one Planet Fitness to different one. The new one is WAY more better. It has equipment I have never seen before. As a female I love the fractional dumb bells they have there. I am doing the Stronglifts 5x5 there so I have to do most of it on a Smith Machine.

wow, what a difference! I am so jealous! I have only lost 7 pounds in the last 7 weeks and can't even tell. Keep up the good work!! :)

Great job, I can see the difference!

I am a 50 year old female, 5'2" tall, and would like to lose about 50 lbs of fat. I started on 1/3/17 lifting weights 3 x a week, 30 min of Cardio Dance DVD's 2 x per week, upping my protein a ton, I weigh and measure everything, am eating 1300 calories 6 days per week and eating anything my heart desires 1 day per week. I…

oh my gosh! How in the world are you women losing weight so fast?? I started on 1/3/17 at 178.8 and am now down to 174.0. I would like to lose another 55 lbs. At only 1 lbs of weight loss a week it will take me over a year to do so.

Is this the post for stronglifts for women 50+ or am I at the wrong board? I'd l like to join it but it seems to be about personal matters. Please direct me. Thanks

Fantastic job, you look awesome!

Wow, that is amazing! I hope I can stay as inspired as you have been! You are my new idol :)

Thank you for the replies!

I do strength training usually on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and two other days of the week I do 30 min of a cardio dance DVD at home. I eat about 1300 calories 5 days a week then a whole lot more at one weekend day. I have an extremely non active desk job. I have been trying to lift the same weight for the past two…

Nautilus machines with some free weights thrown in 3 days per week for a two hours each time. Cardio is 30 min 2-3 days per week at home to cardio dance DVD's.

my phone: myfitness pal app to keep track of food, FitNotes app to keep track of my strength training weights and reps. Food: boneless skinless chicken breast, greek yogart, low sugar instant oatmeal, hard boiled egg whites, oven roasted green beans. And all of my cardio DVD's as I only have time to do strength training at…

oh. my. God. Fabulous!

wow, it looks like you have lost WAY more than 9 pounds! Great job!

Once I start this program I may cut back a lot or cut out all together the cardio DVD's that I do at home 5-6 days a week for 33 min each night. According to my heart rate monitor I average 250 calories burned each night doing them. Should I cut back on my calorie intake or keep it the same? I forgot to add that I am…

Thank you for all the feed back! I really appreciate it! Now I have a second question. Once I start this program I may cut back a lot or cut out all together the cardio DVD's that I do at home 5-6 days a week for 33 min each night. According to my heart rate monitor I average 250 calories burned each night doing them.…

If I MUST stop and get fast food I get Wendy's chili, pre-make all my lunches for the week on Sunday, stock up on lots of yogart and low fat cottage cheese for protein to eat for breakfast and after exercising, eating back half of my exercise calories (that in itself made a huge difference!).

I am 48, 5'2" and was at 171 lbs, now down to 162 lbs in 5-6 weeks. I had to increase my calories from 1200 to 1300-1350 per day in order to start losing more than half a pound per week.
