People have to much nerve these days no filter! How dare they treat anyone like that. I would turn them into their Superiors pronto! They should be fired if they talk to all their costumers that way they will cause the store to lose business. Sometimes we have to do what we have to do.They didn't seem to be worried about…

Deads are my favorite lift. Been doing them a long time. Not only are they good for the whole body their good for the ego too :wink: So empowering!

I lift weights 4 days a week 2 leg days then upper body split then on weekends I take a 4 to 5 mile walk and that's about it for cardio my gym time lasts anywhere between 1 hr 15 mins to 1 hr 45 mins. I am in my 50's and I love lifting heavy weights :smile:

because I like being and looking healthy and because it so empowering! I love being strong :) and I'm addicted to it...

awesome! Your doing great!

abs are made in the kitchen. need to be in caloric deficit to lose belly fat so abs can shine thru :) I'm working on that right now myself. You can do crunches etc til the cows come home but if your taking in more cals than your burning you will not see any changes.

well I think you are very pretty and being sz 14 at 5'10 doesnt sound fat to me just tall :) nothing wrong with that either. I think we all have things that we don't always like about ourselves only to find out later looking back it wasn't all that bad. Maybe you just have the wedding jitters and your being way to hard on…

For a quick go to when I am hungry (especially at night) is a fruit smoothy with 1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit (thawed) 1/2 cup plain non fat yogart and 1/2 cup soy or almond milk. blend it up in my nutribullet. Filling and sooo good :) about 118 cals

age 56 Height 5'7 CW 147 GW 140 I am just coming off a bulk and I gained approx. 10 lbs and have been maintaining at 147 for several months. My goal was to reach 150 but just couldn't do it without adding more belly fat so I decided to go ahead and do a cut for the next 2 months. The plan is to lose 1/2 lb a week while…

I have one of those scales from weight watchers and every day is different due to hydration certain supplements can cause water retention as well as sodium intake but it can give you and average. Nothing better than what your seeing in the mirror tho. I weigh every day due more to habit than anything else. I heard they are…

Im 5'7 and 136 lbs and I have been taking in 1425 cals and I too noticed that my strength was lacking in the gym so I just bumped up to abt 1600 cals a day 45pro-35 carbs 20 fat lift 4 days a week 2 leg days and minimum cardio. I'm cutting right now and lifting heavy to maintain as much muscle as possible. I also use a…

Sometimes I add a 1/4 cup dry oats to mine along with what ever fruit I have on hand strawberries,blueberries etc. Just put it in my bullet and it blends it up real nice. I use it before or after workouts.

I use the one from walmart its inexpensive and tastes great! I started out with 1/2 scoop and have since graduated to a full scoop. It doesnt make me jittery just keeps me focused with extra energy to get through my workout. I also love Amino energy it's really good as well I get the orange flavor :)

I strength train Monday,Tuesday then cardio Wednsday and strength training again Thursday,Friday. Saturday and Sunday rest. I also do a short 20 min cardio before workouts. I'm losing fat while maintaining muscle (cut) I've almost reached my goal weight. so soon I will go to maintenance calories before doing a bulk this…

I think what he is trying to say is that it is hard to gain a substantial amount of muscle through cardio. I do believe that at first we do gain a small amount while losing fat because we are in fact using those muscles and according to your measurements you did gain 1 inch in your hips so you did gain some muscle while…

I lift heavy 4to5 days a week I also love lifting, so feel free to add me as well :) Ive been on a cut for abt 3 months will probably continue as long as my weights are moving up or at least staying the same. I will start bulking again in a couple months. losing fat building muscle thats what Im talking about lol!

love that sweatshirt I may have to get one to lol!

I am on a cut right now and I am doing my best to maintain my weights (strength). Some days are easier than others. my squats and deads are good I tend to lose strength in my bench press but then my upper body has always been a little weak (im working on that) one thing I have noticed tho is when I eat a good slow…

I have gotten these feelings when I didnt eat enough an hour before my workout but without the bloat not really sure about that but it does sound to me that you should be lifting heavier if you can bang out 20 reps. maybe it's time to change up your routine?

I'm at around 21% is it to soon to bulk? I've been cutting for abt 12 weeks went from 148lbs to about 136 lbs I still have some belly fat but feel I'm getting to small everywhere else. I still have my strength although I have had a couple weak days. I want to bulk but with the belly fat I'm not sure if it's to soon and…

Tell them you ate earlier not expecting to go out and then order light. I like a cob salad and take half home for later. They're pretty big :)

sorry to hear about your divorce but glad to see your ready to get back on the wagon and make wonderful changes for yourself. Goodluck!

what has turned things around for me is getting rid of the inflammation by eliminating bread,whitepasta,cookies, cakes, and candy. I have a pc of 72% dark chocholate almost every day. Now although I said eliminate I do indulge once in great while. It did take some time to adjust but I feel almost normal. I eat a lot of…

I am doing a cut right now and gaining strength in my lifts. I make sure I eat protein and a good slow absorbing carb one hr before I lift and abt 30 mins before I take a pre-workout drink it keeps me focused and in the gym a little longer. I am losing fat and maintaining most of my muscle. I believe 1800 is maintanence…

I had a friend who had this same problem and her Dr. told her she had thin blood and her hormones were out of balance but she was going through menopause. I would stay on the safe side and ask your Dr.

Good Job!!!!!

I have been in the habit of weighing every morning as soon as I get up for years. It's just part of my morning routine. I also log all my food here on myfitnesspal so I really don't worry to much what the scale says I judge by how my clothes are fitting. That what works for me :)

I am also a insomniac and have been my whole life. It can be a real pain. I used to take ambien but sleep walking and eating on it was to much. Switched to lunesta and it worked but tasted awful and I really didnt want to be on meds. Went cold turkey about 2 years ago and so I just sleep when I can. I recently started…

congratulations that awsome!

I'm 5'7 and right now I weigh about 137lbs and I am working on losing fat and maintaining what muscle I have. I will tell you for me 125lbs looks way to skinny on a 5'7 woman( unless it's mostly muscle). The goal I'm going for is to lose fat during this cut which is 1500 cals while lifting heavy then I will maintain for…
