bpenoli Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi, My name is Brittany and my entire life I have had a love affair with food. I love food, but don't love the fat that comes along with it. I have tried countless diets and yet never saw any actual lasting results. I recently lost about 30lbs and got down to my lowest weight since high school (117lbs). However, I did so by eating very few calories (1200 or less) and exercising (cardio only) for an hour a day as well. I lost the weight, but was always hungry and tired with no energy to do anything. I recently read Staci's story and got completely inspired to start heavy lifting! It appealed to me because I hate cardio and hate barely eating! I never knew the benefit of gaining muscle for women and after reading Staci's story, I decided to give lifting a try. It's only been a couple weeks and since then, I have been making small changes to my diet to make it more Paleo, as well as eating more (about 1500-1700 calories a day), and barbell training (Squats, Dedlifts, Bench Press, Barbell Row) about every other day. I joined NerdFitness to get some support in my quest to turn my fat into muscle and any and all advice I can get about how much to eat and how long/often to weight train in order to achieve my goals! Wish me luck! Thanks! -Brittany 1 Quote Link to comment
