Im female. 29 years old, 5' 7 and weight 146 pounds. I am looking to lose another 10 pounds of fat (hopefully) and be more defined. I currently consume in the region of…

please look at my diary for today
and tell me what you would add to make up the calories? I intend on eating similar to this daily, shaking it up here and there, but I don't know what else to add to make up the calories. I train with kettlebells 4x a week too, so on those days, should I have a protein shake? what would you add/omit to todays food diary?

Favourite kettlebell drill...
I'm addicted to TGU's recently. m pretty new to them and do them using a 12 kg bell and ohmyword, do I sweat and curse through them! Can't wait to move up in weight but I'm not stable enough on my feet yet. What's your favourite kettlebell exercise?

Banging up forearms doing push press
Am in doing it wrong? Both my forearms are pretty bruised up. I've been doing push presses for a month or so now, twice a week as part of a routine, using a 12kg bell. I have both a standard cast iron bell as well as a competition one and both seem to be bruising me. I use Lauren Brooke's ultimate body sculpt and…

Don't like my new competition kettlebell
I have a 12kg standard cast iron kettlebell but the gap between ball and handle is too large which makes for uncomfortable snatching and cleans so thought I'd invest in a competition one but I really don't like it! It's way too bulky and I'm regretting getting it. Does anyone own one and is it just a matter of getting used…

How long is too long for a workout
With kettlebells? I train 40-45 mins 4x a week. Mon, tues, thurs and sat. My heart rate hovers between 70-90% of my max throughout,and is pretty high during short rest periods too. That's not going overboard is it?

Do you wear gloves while k'belling?
I've just stopped wearing them after 3years lol but man, the high rep snatches are killing my hands! Chalk is not an option as I workout at home so can do without chalk powder everywhere!

Could you please look at my diary for past week
...and let me know if I'm eating enough? I think I've been underestimating how many cals I am allowed so have just changed it now by adding 300 as I'm breast feeding my 14 month old who also eats foods. Also, I do 40 min intensive kettlebell training 4x a week also, if that helps. I weigh in tomorrow so will know if I've…

I is so confusled! Setting daily calories
I haven't the foggiest what to set my calories at. MFP has set it too low at 1400. I'm female, 29 years old, 5' 7, weighing 148 pounds. My aim is to drop a pound a week and ultimately get to 135 pounds. I am non exclusively breast feeding my 14 month old which allows me 300 extra calories. I am lightly active and do…

Breast feeding calories
How many am I allowed? I breast feed my 14 month old 6x in a 24 hour period so I'm not exclusively breast feeding as she also has solids. The database only seems to take into account exclusively nursing mothers. Please help!
