Hi, I'm Megan and I am a victim of over-running ( that girl on the treadmill at your gym) and low-carb, no fat diets. I bought the book after reading Kiefer's article on Women and running actually!So glad to finally find a program that is honestly healthy, easy and fun.For the past month I have been doing CNS. Following it pretty well but Limiting my dairy to only some aged cheese.My training program is Bret Contreras's (The Glute Guy) Strong Curves for beginner lifters. On weeks 5-8 and I'm excited to move onto the advanced lifters program after 12 weeks.Goals are to build some muscle in shoulders, arms and re-shape legs/bum, and be able to grate cheese on my abs.Macros are 60-85g fat, 115-120g protein, 5-15g carbs. Tonight's Carb Nite consist of breads, pasta, banana, and doughnuts! I shoot for 350g of crabs but I don't care if I go over really. I train hard 5-6 days a week with 2 HIIT sessions.Stats currently 5'8" tall26" waist35"hipAbout 120lbs and 16% BF but what do you think?First pics are befores and the following are after 1 month of CNS.
Thank you!Going to get my body fat tested by a trainer at my gym (Lifetime Fitness). She's gunna use the calipers and also a test using electrodes to see my visceral fat amount. (Visceral fat is the fat between/around organs) I know skinny-fat women are prone to this just as much as obese people so should be interesting.(I'm not too worried tho)I'll let you all know my results so others can compare!
So I had my measurements taken on this fancy body composition instrument at my gym and 1 month ago (June 26) and this was my read out…16.1% body fat123lbsBMR of 1388kcalThere was way more info about water retention and where on my body I carry fat.Today (2 months of carb Nite) I did the same test and took tape measurements. I lost another 1/4" around each part of my body, except biceps(I gained 1/4")The read out from the instrument was..15.0% body fat125lbs1412 kcals for BMRSoooo I gained lean mass and lost fat! Whoo hoo!And here are some pics!
SummerWolf- I love your profile pic!Thank you everyone for your positive comments. It's so nice to feel strong, eat a lot, and look and feel better than ever. For the next month my goal is to cut out peanut butter and macadamia nuts. I've been munching on them wayyy too much. The peanuts make my joints inflamed and I know the macadamia is a better choice but not 3x a day :/See you next month!
