  1. Hi Michelle!

    I'm a member of your website and have been following you since your startup. You are my inspiration!

    I'm curious: How many calories, typically, do you consume? I know that you state that you should eat the # of g of protein for your desired weight, but I'm trying to figure out the remaining balance, calorie-wise.
    I have hypothyroidism and have discovered that I need fewer calories than the typical woman in order to kickstart weight loss.
    I'm currently doing:
    M - 1 hour walk, legs
    T - 1 hour pilates, 30 minute intervals
    W - 1 hour walk, chest
    TH - 1 hour pilates, bis & tris, 30 minute intervals
    F - 1 hour walk, back & shoulders, 30 minute intervals
    Sa - steady state (3-4 mi) run

  2. Melissa,
    HI! For calories, my intake rages from 1500 to 2500 depending on my goals. For Maintenance, I consume right at 2200 cal/day.

    For Weight loss I would suggest a diet in the calorie range osf 1200-1600 cal.

    You seem to be doing a lot of cardio type activities so for your diet I would suggest about equal portions of carbs(35%) and proteins(35%) and then about 30% of your daily calories from fat.

    Keep up the great attitude and Thanks for being part of TEAM BUFFMOTHER!!

    I've been keeping at 1400-1600 for the past couple of weeks, so it looks like I'm right on target!
