@twinmama Also 27/F/5'3"/135lbs. and aiming for 125. I run 5 days a week (30ish mpw), have another cardio crosstraining day, and lift 2-3 days a week (working on consistency with the lifting).
My biggest issue is fuel intake and unnecessary eating while sitting at a desk job. Still trying to figure out caloric needs since I feel like a bunch of the TDEE calculators are crap because they are based on # of days you exercise per week but it doesn't take into account duration or intensity. Waiting on my TDEE spreadsheet to be a bit more accurate since it has my TDEE at 2400 right now. As of this week, I figured it'd be solid to aim for 1700-1800 kcals/day and see how that goes.
