Hi everyone :)

[laurasaur]

Hi guys + girls...

Background on me.. 21yr old female, Software Engineer from Auckland..

Started powerlifting about 8 months ago with no real weight training background.

1RM

Squat - 85kg

Deadlift - 95kg

Bench - 47.5kg

I have now changed my focus into getting a body I am happy with, mainly need to lose some bf % through better nutrition and keeping up the weight training.

Current Stats:

Height: 5"9/1.74m

Weight: 66kg

BF: ? Mystery

Goals:

Weight: Around 60kg... I just want to trim down my thighs/ass/overall fat.

I really enjoying lifting and strit dieting for some reason.. And am planning on switching to Environment training from the Auckland Uni gym for a few months due to personal reasons/lack of transport.

Biggest obstacle is ye olde binge eating.

Overall diet looks like this:

M1: Oats or Protein Shake or 2 Eggs

M2: Protein shake

M3: Chicken/Tuna salad

M4: Protein shake / Cottage cheese

M5: Chicken/Fish + vegetables/salad

M6: Nothing or Cottage Cheese pancakes/Protein shake

I find I am very sensitive to Insulin spikes and can only lose weight on a regular level of blood sugar.. ie minimal carbs and regular eating.

Aiming for around 1500 calories per day. And lots of sleep. :shifty:

Hi L,

Welcome to the Board.

Just what we need another "Darksider" crossing to the lights, but you have found the right place to do it.

Mind you Trish and Ali do both so you could still keep a foot in both camps

Wohooo awesome 1RM lifts! :clap: And stuff BF percentages, they only exist to upset us :pfft:

At your height, 66kgs must look great on you though? Good luck with the dieting.. and please think about starting a workout journal here... it'd be cool to see what kind of weights you're throwing around on a daily basis :nod: \:D/

[Gym rat]
