ummm...only a calorie deficit will get the fat off. I have lost over 30 lbs with my only cardio being walking. I lift heavy (for me) and I am finally starting to get the definition I have always wanted

Atta Lady!!!! Keep it up!

I don't eat until about 11am because that is when I get hungry. Food timing doesn't mean anything. Not eating breakfast when I am not hungry means I have a real big dinner with the hubby instead. Which is way more fun!

me too but really nervous too. I think Idris and Matthew will do pretty good for their roles but I don't know anything about that kid they chose for Jake and they don't have Eddie or Susannah confirmed yet. Nail biter!!!!!

10 Cloverfield was good!! John Goodman made me feel sooooooooo uncomfortable and nervous the whole time.

I would imagine if someone doesn't know how to ride or hold their seat properly to follow the horses movement they would end up very sore and just sort of holding on and bouncing around. Shouldn't cause extreme pain though....I have been thrown more than a couple times and I mostly just bruised my ego As for the 2nd I am…

Considering Jared's recent legal issues you may want to reconsider......whoops nevermind. Reading comprehension is on the fritz!

You are my kind of people Jehovahs witness bread. ...beautiful

this is the only qualification that matters

If you are feeling it pull through your back, you might want to lower the weight and revisit your form. While it does work your back it should be mainly pulling through your glutes and hamstrings. There are all types of back targeting workouts to do if you feel like your back has some catch up. I like back extensions and…

fork put downs and table pushaways. Seriously though, you can't spot reduce but there are some good forums on this board about body recomposition through weightlifting. I suspect that would be the place to start.

I never do isolation exercises so there is no body part that is off limits to me. Everything gets worked on with compound lifts.

well that is just tragic! I find that at many big box gyms I see the same thing. I joined a Gold's Gym and while still a bit "big box" I see a lot more serious lifters including a good number of lifting ladies!! Its awesome.

I got hitched in Hawaii last week and felt great about myself and my body!

Dude, jump on this opportunity!!! It will give all of you, including her therapist, more insight!!!!

I get it. You are doing the best you can. Its really hard to just be the support system and not the fixer. You want to fix it for her and unfortunately she has to fix herself. the frustration you feel is totally warranted and that doesn't make you an a-hole, it makes you a human being. I get frustrated at the "no follow…

Maybe you could try a good structured program for lifting like Stronglifts, starting strength or Ice Cream 5x5. they come with simple apps so all you do is plug in your numbers and it will tell you what exercises at what weights for that day. Do that, toss in some cardio for fun and heart health and keep an eye on your…

now that I have a desk job, I have to put in a little extra effort to hit all my steps. I walk on all my breaks and the dog gets over a mile walk in the morning as well as gym time.

I really enjoy my fitbit. I know I could do just fine without it but I like getting all my steps everyday so its just a little motivator. I got mine free through work so I don't know if I would have splurged on it on my own. I sync MFP and I find its pretty dang accurate for adding back exercise calories...at least for me.

Occasionally I dread leg day but usually half way through my first set of squats, I start to really get into it.

Squat 105 x 6 Bench Press 75 x8 Overheard Press 60 x5 34 female current weight 155 lbs

wait for Dr to clear you. They are not kidding about the weight restrictions on lifting things. I had a laproscopic appendectomy done and thought it would be a good idea to carry too many grocercies up the stairs about a week later. Left me crying all night from the pain. All said and done though I only took about 4 weeks…

make an appointment with your doctor. You can be diognosed and then a doctor can refer you to a physiotherapist or something along those lines to get you where you need to be.

do you ab work if you enjoy it, but if you are doing a decent lift program like Starting Strength or SL 5x5 you don't really need to. Compound lifts work everything, including your core.

I also have the tree stump type legs. My legs will always be a bit larger then the rest of me but learning to embrace them is the way to go. I have also found that good heavy lifting like squats and deadlifts is really changing their shape. I practically have ankles now!!!! I don't have any pics at yet, but I will be…

I have finally broken through my weight progression plateau this morning on my squats and deadlifts!!!! Pretty soon I will be back to putting big girl plates on the bar for my squats.

Awesome job on working through the lyme disease. I contracted it when I was a kid and was on anitbiotics for over 2 years, its truly terrible and still has lingering effects

I do one meal a day during the week and two on the weekends. I just don't get very hungry during the day and the earlier I start forcing myself to eat, the hungier I am all day. OMAD works for some people and several small meals a day works better for others. Figure out which works for you and be flexible with it. Tweak…

I just go to my jeweler and they put a little sizer on my engagement and wedding ring for 10 bucks a piece. Its been working perfectly. If you take your rings on and off a lot, that rubber cement stuff tends to peel off pretty quickly. I take my rings off to lotion, shower and at night when I sleep so the sizer from the…
