Okay so I've introduced myself on the women's newbie page and quickly got a grasp on how things run.
I am starting a whole new journey into a fitness realm that I am particularly unfamiliar with and it's pretty exciting.
I'm turning 30 next month... But I look much much younger. And I want to continue looking as young as possible for ever and ever. (Amen)
Here's my thing, I don't eat meat.
I've never cared about my protein intake BC I am so used to watching calories. But, protein has a lot of calories generally, so this is a concern.
For a woman you can get a good amount of protein from soy without having to worry as much about estrogen/progeserone like men do. Is eggs considered meat?
I'm 5'9, 140lbs... Probably 18% body fat? 140 is a little big for me, I have an injury that's kept me out of the gym for a month.
18% bodyfat would put you in a pretty athletic category for a female. Someone like Jillian Michaels might be 17-18%. Bodyfat % are different for women since they hold more fat for baby making purposes Heres a link that shows accurate pics of women at different bodyfat%'s to help you get a gauge of where your at

Slowly rehabbing and I'm going back Monday to start some workouts that don't effect my knee.
I want to cut the fat, slim down.. I don't want an overly muscular body, I love my femininity.
Also, my booty is not the problem, I actually want to slim this thing down. It's up and perky but me no likey the badunk a dunk monster I created. I am in unfamiliar territories here with my body and I'm really not sure what direction to take with it.
I have dealt with ED most my life and this had been a transition over the last two years. So I'm ready and willing to be a student. Bo_rhinoxo IG. This is where I'm logging. Just ignore everything else. Seriously.
Thanks!
