Hello I started a thread earlier and it was suggested I start a log, so here i go.
I am 41/F (42 soon
), 170lbs, 36% bf (Methreesixty app), and 5' 2. The app takes an image and estimates, the measurements correlate well to my tape measure so i like to use it as a reference. So far I have lost 25lbs as i had slowly gained all this weight through my job getting more sedentary, the myth that i carry weight very well.
It is something that has plagued me all my life.
Weight kept creeping up, as I said in my earlier cry for help, I am chucky, and gain muscle and FAT easily. I have lifted weights and done loads of cardio since college but the last few years things have not been going well in that area, many moves, jobs, life, excuses. I am ready to get back, but want a less starved obsessed method. I would only get down to 135/140 by doing a lot of fasted cardio and running for fun, lifting on low calories.
My lifting routine is BBB leader cycle that I am about to finish week 3. I also do cardio 3 times a week, run/walk 3 miles outside, or do treadmill or stationary bike when the weather is poor. I have a garage gym, well equipped with weights, dumbbells, bands benches but no pulleys or leg presses type of stuff.
Gear: I tried SARMS years ago, cardarine. Today I am only taking , fish oil, ALCAR, Vitamin D3. I did a lot of lurker research and I have bought Cardarine and Ostarine, waiting for advice. I have not received the items or taken any.
Calories, hovering around 1600 cals 30/50/20 but often end up lower. I also end up skipping breakfast a lot, just not hungry in the morning and I suppose that generally can look like IF of between 14 - 16 hrs.
