Setting Weight Lifitng Goals?
Cross posted, but still needing advice... I'm a recent convert from the "eat like a bird and do insane amounts of cardio" camp to "eat like a fully grown adult and lift some heavy things" camp. Mostly because I'd like to be less skinny-fat and more totally-buff. I started working with a strength trainer (a certified…

Workout Days VS Non-Workout Days Caloric Intake?
Cross-post for me this morning....... Good News First: Reading NROL4W and calculating my calorie needs for workout days vs non-workout days averages the same as the calculations I did when beginning EM2WL (eating more to weigh less). Calculated average daily calories @15% cut = 1760). Question: NROL4W recommends that you…

Same amount of calories every day???
Good News First: Reading NROL4W and calculating my calorie needs for workout days vs non-workout days averages the same as the calculations I did when beginning EM2WL (average daily @15% cut = 1760). Question: NROL4W recommends that you eat a certain amount of calories on workout days as opposed to non-workout days (in my…

Triathlon AND Stronglifts?
Hi all! I'm new to Stronglifts and heavy lifting in general. I've been taking some kettlebell classes (which I LOVE), and know that I'm built for lifting, and not so much endurance cardio like my super awesome triathlon hubbs. That said...I haven't started SL, mostly because I am training for a sprint triathlon in August.…

Old Habits Die Hard
Old habits die hard. Today is day 2 of more calories (from 1200 to 1700). This morning while packing a snack (peanut butter and a banana), I got out the spoon and measured out only 1 tblsp of peanut butter....because that's all I'm used to allowing myself. I'm not sure I could have actually enjoyed any more, but the point…

The Dreaded Skinny-Fat
This morning, the scale read 115.1 pounds. When I got off of it, I called myself "fat". My husband of course looked at me like I was crazy (he's sweet...and an endurance athlete with little to no fat on his body). At 5 feet tall, there's not many people in North America today that would call me fat. The problem is, the…

Fish Oil Favs?
I can't stand any type of fish (saltwater, fresh water, shellfish, etc.). I've tried it cooked in all types of ways and still, no dice. I choke down the occasional tilapia, but I'd choose chicken any day of the week if I could. I've considered taking fish oil (as a supplement) but am terrified at the taste/side effects.…

Change my weightloss goal????
I'm getting pretty close to my goal weight. In fact, I'm less than ten pounds away (right now the goal is set in MFP @ 108). I'm struggling to take the last few pounds off, but I now that I need to be patient as I get closer and closer to my ideal body size. I'm considering changing my weightloss goal to be based on a body…

Ran my Marathon, Now What?
Last year I spend the first half of the year getting in shape for my wedding, and the second half training for the Baltimore Marathon. In general, I'm not a good runner. I'm SLOW and steady. I always imagined that a marathon was something I couldn't do, so I decided that meant I would have to run one to prove myself wrong.…

TOO much sugar
I can't seem to get my sugar under control. My daily calorie allowance is pretty low (1200) since I'm a pretty short woman who doesn't have a lot of weight to lose. I 'm over on my sugar each day. Any tips on how to reduce the sugar intake?

New to MFP and Tracking Again
I'm new to the site, but not new to tracking my calories and exercise. When I do, I lose weight. Every time. So far, myfitnesspal has been the best tool for tracking food and exercise that I've come across. I don't have a lot of weight to lose. I hit a great weight for my wedding last May, and ran a marathon this October.…
