lry0390's Fat Loss Thread

[lry0390]

Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun to start a log here on the forums. I've been keeping a log of sorts via ******** statuses but no one cares enough to give feedback of any kind. Hopefully here I will be able to make some friends and help others in their weight loss goals.

My goal now is pretty small, I'd like to lose 10-15 lbs. I've lost 22 since the beginning of the year so I am down to the final bit. I have been stuck at a bit of a plateau, although I have recently recalculated my macros and caloric needs. Also, I am interested in trying Intermittent Fasting so hopefully I can get a good log of that going here for anyone interested.

Let's start with my current stats:

Age: 22
Height: 5'2
Weight: 137-139
BF% unknown, I was 33% last Spring when the gym I belong to read me with one of those hand held things you squeeze. I could go back and get it done again.

Macros-
Protein: 140g
Fat: 60g
Carb: 100g
Total Cals/day: 1500

I will be in the fasted state for another 4 hours. I'll update after my workout and eating.

I'd also like to add that I am entering a 5k! My boyfriends sister invited us to run with her. It's in July so I'd like to start training now. I am definitely NOT a runner and I'm a little nervous, I don't want to be the one huffing and puffing all the way at the end.
