@linamali This is my goal. I would like to be maintaining around 107-109, closer to 2000 cals per day. I also need to put on a few pounds of muscle, which I am also slowly working on. I am currently at 21% BF (per DEXA), so my goal is to put on 2-3# of muscle and get down to 18% BF and be...

@johnacola First off, congrats! Your results are truly inspiring! And don't worry about turning 30, the best is really, honestly and truly, yet to come. I turned 45 last year and I have never felt better in my whole life and am in the best shape I have ever been in. We have very similar...

@abczyx Not OP, but I did a DEXA scan and just did a Google search for Dexa scan near me and found a place. Also, look on Groupon. But I was able to buy a package at the place I went to and it included (3) DEXA scans + (3) Fit 3D images for $360

@wedemars Since Aug, I have actually stopped weighing myself. I rely SOLELY on pictures and measurements. Stats: F/46, 5'2" In August I had hit a wall. I was tired of tracking, weighing, everything... I talked to my coach and we decided that I would go into a build phase and just eat to...

@sawsar LOL, it's fine. I am sure I will end up using it as I do think it is inevitable that all the gyms will shut down. Plus, it is not a bad thing to have a mini home gym :) not just for this crisis but for anytime.

@sawsar I meant that I would only return them if I don't open them / use them. If I set it all up and use them, then I will keep them. I apologize if I wasn't clear on that point, but I would not return used items.

@redcherry Sure. Won't be coming until next week, but I will circle back :)

@maria37 Hi! My schedule is almost exactly this! :) And I have been having great results. Like you, I am at my happy weight, looking to shed some fat and look more toned. I love a group class atmosphere and have been going to OTF for a few years now. I come from a Crossfit background...

@sawsar Thanks for this! I actually went on to Walmart and bought this bar + bench set up for $90. I figured for the extra $35, it was worth it to get the bench too. Not being able to lift is, by far, my biggest fear when the gyms close. I may not be able to do everything as heavy or...

@rasheid Sure! I started incorporating hydration and fuel on any run that was +90 min. I found that water was the only thing I could drink. I tried Gatorade, Powerade, Propel and found that they all gave me stomach aches. I think it was the sugar, but not totally sure. But through trial and...

@rasheid As someone who did a couple marathons in my previous "fitness life" the single most important piece of advice that I would like to give you is: Do not do anything different the night before the race or during the race. Whatever you are eating on the day / night before your long run...

@cam82 Nutrition is good (I think). As I mentioned, I am currently reverse dieting because my cut has been very aggressive. Meal 1: Egg whites + 1 slice turkey bacon + 1/4c. quick cook oatmeal w/ a little protein powder for flavor Meal 2: Very large salad w/ tons of veggies, 5 oz. grilled...

@sunflowers24 Thanks. At the time of my scan I was about 21.7% and was looking to get to about 19-20%

@darcylbridge Thanks. At the time of my scan, I was 21.7% and was looking to get to 19-20%.

@darcylbridge And I am fine with slow. I just want to tighten everything up a little so I feel a little more comfortable (confident?) in a bathing suit / undies. I still feel pretty flabby but am happy with my weight and clothing size, if that makes any sense at all...

@dawn16 Thanks. I have always been interested in P90x, but I am not a "work out at home" person. I wonder if there is a similar program that I could do in the gym?

@dawn16 Yeah, it was aggressive and I could have gone slower and eaten 12001300-ish, but I'm not that patient ;) Some days I ate more, some days I ate less. It evened out in the end. Plus IF made it a little easier to be on the cut. My viewpoint was that I wanted to be cutting for the...

@olsi Ha! Chocolate, ice cream and pizza get me every time ;)

@olsi Ha! There were definitely a lot of "white knuckle" moments

@olsi A slower cut is definitely a good option and a lesser deficit. I have done both slow and aggressive cuts and I find, for myself, that I have more of the personality to do a more aggressive cut for a shorter amount of time. That is just how I am wired :) But it sounds like you probably...
