I have the exact same body type! I am 'trim' as others put it (the same people who roll their eyes when i say I want to lose 10-15 pounds) but I am a size 6-8 too and my weight (141) for my height (5'3'') puts me on the line between being overweight on the BMI scale...My thighs and legs look like tree trunks to me and…

so what is the difference between greek yogurt and refular yougurt? is it just the protein content?

thanks, that sounds more in line with what I need for what I am doing... I manually changed it to 20% or 60 grams a day. thanks again!!

Thanks all, I was able to change it manually and I set it at 60g a day...we will see how that goes. I know too much will just turn to fat but right now I think that amount sounds better than the 45 recommended. :flowerforyou:

is there a way to maually change the daily limits? how do you do that? I dont think 45g/day is enough with training? Thanks!!

mcdonalds yogurt and fruit parfaits are the BEST!! and a very healthy choice

I am also in the same boat, wanting to lose 20 pounds but also training for a half in May...seems the magic number of calories burned to consumed to maintain efficient fuel is ellusive at best..

stress plays a big part on your ability to lose weight, stress increases cortisol in the body which triggers chemicals that basically say 'hold the fat we dont know whats going on here'...its the fight or flight syndrome in humans. I am sorry to hear of all the stress you are experiencing, its sounds very tough. But you…

sounds like you were really over training..without knowing what your baseline was before you started the training plan, its hard to gauge if your bady was ready for 5-6 nights of 2-3 hours in the gym, thats alot and even elite athletes dont spend that kind of time in the gym. rest and recovery are huge when it comes to…
