Hi,
I've been reading these forums for a while now and have never contributed, but now I'd like some MFP freinds :)
I started lifting weights in January, and stronglift 5x5 about 5 weeks ago, and I'm loving it!!
I'd just like some friends on here to see how much people eat, and just for motivation in general .

Suz :)

    You can add me too, if you want.

    ETA: I just saw the part about eating. Don't really use my diary as an example. I have good days and I have bad binge days. I try to log everything though!

    Feel free to add me, but I tend to eat the same thing every day unless I go out to eat (been doing too much of that lately...).

    Hi and Welcome! Feel free to add me too. I've been doing SL since the first week of February and seeing great results. Also my diary is open to friends and I try to have variety of foods except for breakfast and snacks during the week (mainly because I have 4 out of 5 meals at work).

    Feel free to add me. Although if you just want to be nosey, I think my diary is open to everyone anyway.

    I just started lifting last month. Always looking for workout buddies, so feel free to add me! Diary is open and pretty boring, regardless. :laugh:

    You can add me. My diary is open to friends, just don't say anything about my chocolate milk addiction lol :love:

    Welcome to the group. I'm fairly new myself here

    You can add me too---most of my friends are on here and my diary is open. I do a ton of "from scratch" cooking, so my entries might sound weird.

    I don't think I've ever seen him mention women. And I looked.

    That's why I :heart: Rippetoe. Lots of women lifting pictures sprinkled throughout Starting Strength.

    Yes, Rippetoe is good for that!
    I've only ever seen this from Mehdi,

    But maybe I should apply for the inner circle huh!!

    Have you tried LiftBig on android? I havent used it because I have an iPhone but I have heard that a lot of people do and that it has a stronglifts preset.
