deeann96 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've done the last 2 challenges and decided I need a more permanent place to log my progress. I'm a 39 year old female looking to lose weight and get stronger. My goal is to finish my weight loss by May 2014 with a fuzzy goal weight of 125 -130 pounds. This is not set in stone, especially since I'm lifting weights and getting stronger at the same time. I began following the Starting Strength program in November. I'm currently on week six. Although I did have a set back for the past 4 weeks while I was nursing a shoulder with tendonitis. So I've mostly been squatting and have just started adding back the presses and deadlift into my program. Here are my goals:1. Do strength training 3 times per week. 2. Do cardio for 30 minutes 2 times a week.3. Eat within my daily calorie and macro goals:Calories: 1400-1700Protein: 103-128 gramsFiber: 25 - 30 gramsFat: < 60 gramsCarbs: 125 - 175 grams. I'm mainly tracking calories, protein, and fiber. I'm not so strict with carbs and fat unless weight loss stops or I have issues with the strength training progress. I'll mostly be using this to log my daily workouts. I'll probably use it to check my calories/macros once a week. My current statistics:Age | 39 years 11 months |Height | 60 |Date | 12/22/2013 |Weight 161.2 |BF % | 34.8 |(not sure how accurate this is)Bust | 39.5 |Chest | 34.25 |Waist | 35.5 |Hips | 42.5 |L Thigh | 26 |L Calf | 15 |L Upper Arm | 13 |Neck | 14 | Quote My goal is to be 'Fit by Forty' " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

My weight loss has slowed down a lot since I've gotten more laid back out eating carbs. Quote My goal is to be 'Fit by Forty' " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
