Default PEELE-ing Away The Pounds and Stopping The INSANITY

Time for me to come out of "lurkdom" (as you can see by the join date, I've been lurking for a loooong time!!) and join the rank and file with a log of my own!

A bit about me, female, married, 43, 5'6" and this morning was 181 lbs - and that's after LOSING 4 lbs this past week - an all-time high for me. After years of thinking I knew what I was doing (obviously NOT!) it's time to stop doing what I've always done (insanity!) and bring in the big guns!

I have hired Leigh Peele, the Fat Loss Troubleshooter, to help me once and for all! I'll be following her customized-just-for-me program of diet and exercise, as well as picking her brain to learn the whys and the why-nots of nutrition.

I've never had a problem with the workouts - the diet has always been the toughest part for me - and when I stopped making progress and hit the dreaded plateau, that always ended up in a binge, where I would re-gain what I lost, and add a little bit more, just for fun!!

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Good luck Dilly. Leigh is top notch!

You'll get to where you want to be following her.

I don't normally comment on the training logs, but I had to here because I've started with Leigh about a month ago and am around the same age as you and also recently hit my all time high weight. Welcome to the forums Tracey, and best of luck!

I just finished my break-in month, the one that got me back into lifting after taking off 8 months for the first time in as long as I can remember to concentrate on cycling. My metabolic rate is messed up, so that is why I brought Leigh in. At my height, 5'9+", I shouldn't be gaining fat at 2,300 kcals, but that is exactly what happens. After a couple of vicious years where I would lose weight only at 1700-1900 kcals/day (not right for a guy my height and weight) and an off-season tested (actual) RMR at 1400 (1700 during cycling season), I realized I was in a downward metabolic spiral and (as you aptly put it) needed to bring in the 'big guns'.

Leigh knows her movement patterns and how to attack any deficiencies you may have. I'm very happy with her on that. I'm getting stronger, but we're having to tweak the diet portion right now...but I have a lot of goals to hit and first up is flexibility and correcting imbalances. I also like the fact that she takes the time to answer my questions as to 'why' (I have a lot ).

Best of luck on the challenge. I used to log here, but my days of public logging to keep myself motivated are over.

Thanks for taking the time to "report"!! It's only been a week for me, but so far I'm pleased with how things are going! She set me up with some flexibility/mobility stuff, too, to correct some weak and tight areas.
