Hello guys, I have been poring over the forum for a couple of weeks now and it's been really informative and an entertaining read! I already feel like I 'know' some of you regular posters - thank you for all the great info you're sharing. A little bit about me - female and pushing 40, and determined to hit that number in better physical shape than I've ever been in! I've only started weight training properly this year - I even got myself a job in a gym instead of just a membership so I'd have no excuse not to go as I'm already there, lol. So far it's going great, and I've just broken bodyweight deadlifts and pullups. Loving it!I can feel a few nice muscles under my skinny-fat layer of puff. According to the (potentially untrustworthy) electronic measuring device I bought, I'm at 30% bf, so here I am doin' Carb Nite in an attempt to get lean and look as strong as I am becoming. I am starting to think I should switch to CBL though, as with my physical job, training, and unavoidable daily bike commute (total of 50mins round trip - too much cardio for CN???) I have been regularly eating over my f&p macros during the prep phase and I'd really appreciate getting a little more volume in, even if it means leaning out more slowly  :-  1st Carb Nite is scheduled for tomorrow, and all I'm really craving right now is a massive bowl of rice, haha... but I'm sure I'll have the enthusiasm for some sweet stuff once I have it within arm's reach! It's Leg Day the following day, which I am really looking forward to. My last workout was so depleted and weak that I nearly caved in to the pwo carbs, it'll be good to feel pumped again...Anyway, I wish everyone success in smashing their goals! I look forward to talking to you  😉
