I just turned 32 in january

Recalculate. I'm 5'4" 120 lbs and my BMR is 1256.

No. I have the same BMR. Like rabbit said, your TDEE is more important when it comes to determining how many calories you can consume.

Calorie deficit and cardio. You can't "tone" excess fat.

Why would you go out to lunch with someone if you don't plan on eating?

Squat more.

I missed where OP said he was going to train somebody long term for a specific goal. He sees a man not using full range of motion and struggling to do one pull up. You don't need credentials to give somebody the most basic of advice. You don't need a certification to suggest that somebody try negative pullups.

Actually, I am qualified to help. So much for assumptions eh?

As odd as it sounds, some of us feel inclined to help someone who is struggling. If somebody hadn't tapped me on the shoulder to show me the benefits of negative pullups, I'd still be working on my first pull-up all these years later.

I've learned to keep my mouth shut, even if somebody is doing something dangerous. Men get defensive when women give them workout advice, and women get catty and think I'm giving them advice on how to get "bulky".

Yes you did.... Wizardry. I took a big bite out of that bait. *hangs head in shame*

High quality trolling. (Srs) Thanks for the entertainment.

I'm pretty sure that us fat and lazy slobs are just jealous of her elongated, high quality muscles.

A+ trolling in this thread....

Indeed...

I think we are different wavelengths here.

They can't. Bulky women are gross.

Sarcasm?

All women must lift heavy, regardless of their goals.

I prefer to workout in the morning. When I'm forced to workout at the end of the day my lifts suffer.

Why not just run faster if you want to up the intensity?

Some of us run for wine ;)

For cardio it's feel good pop/dance music. Lifting requires rock/metal.

Running, swimming, cycling.

What is gross exactly?

I went threw something similar in my late teens. I hated my thick and muscular gymnastics legs. I wanted a "softer" look. But sometimes you just have to embrace what you have. Whether it's from gymnastics or genetics, I have muscular legs and always will. Instead of wishing my legs were different, I decided to improve on…

Eating at a calorie deficit will cause weight loss regardless of the source of your calories, however, the thermal effect of food and level of insulin spikes etc can affect how MUCH weight you will lose.

Extra vitamin B and C. 20 minute power nap during lunch.

This, I didn't lose my "mom" belly until I increased my lean muscle mass.
