Hello! I'm Allyson and I've been training in Muay Thai for the last 8 or so months in the Portland area! New to the group and using MFP off and on. I tried Muay Thai on a whim after I moved away from my lifting buddy and kinda fell in love. I currently train 4-6 times a week as well as run (currently also training for a…

I've been training in Muay Thai for about 8 months, taking anywhere between 3-5 classes a week(sometimes 2 back to back). Its super addicting, I love it. Between days I'm usually running, too.

I'm 5'2 and half, started 190, currently 144, goal weight around 130. Feel free to add!

Earlier this year I did, two things: Ran a 5k under 30 mins. (28:25) a half-marathon, my longest distance to date. What I am more proud of though, is that my running buddy and I didn't miss a single training day leading up to the marathon. Didn't let work or the weather (and it was Some Weather) get in the way.

I'm 28, 5'2", started a few years ago at 191, and am currently 143. Maintained 145-150 for about a year without thinking about it, but motivated again to lose another 15 maybe, or rather another 5 inches. Sometimess a runner and a lifter (ran my first half marathon a couple months ago!), but currently taking advantage of…

Trekked through the ice to the gym today. SQ: 5x5x85lbs - Starting to feel heavier now. I'm curious to know where I'm going to get stuck. Still don't know if trying to hit 190 this year is reasonable. BP: 5x5x45lbs Row: 5x5x65lbs - I haven't gone up on this because I'm concerned my form isn't correct. I'll be watching…

Today was a rest day, but it snowed! It never snows! So I took about a 3 mile walk. :smile:

Thanks, ladies! I forgot to add, anyone can feel free to add me on here. I suck at tracking things but love MFP for the inspiration.

I read that weightlifting was the most effective way to get results, so I fumbled around with that. My routine was -5 mins warm-up on the elliptical/cardio. -30-45 mins Weight-lifting 2 sets of 12 with 20 pounds: squats, deadlift, overhead press, dumbbell bench press, skull crushers, and bent over dumbbell rows. I slowly…

I'm currently aiming to break 150. Only 4 pounds away. I have no idea what my weight goal is going to be after that, but maybe tackling 5 pounds at a time will be the way to go.

-Squat 130 lbs. by the end of the month. -OHP 50 lbs. -Would like to lose another 4 pounds to break 150, but don't know if my body will cooperate while I'm getting more serious about lifting. -Run 2x a week.

I'm new! Started 5x5 a week ago after taking a break from NROLW (5x5 is a lot simpler, and takes less time). :smile: Lifting Goals(in pounds): -Squat 190. I'm currently at 85(still gaining pretty quick), and I don't know if this is doable in a year, but I'm going to try. -I don't have any goals for the rest of 5x5 yet but…

There definitely a noticeable difference there! Keep it up!

WOW! That's just 6 weeks progress? That's amazing!! Keep it up! This just boosts my motivation for getting in there and lifting heaving things 3x a week.

I'm 5'2.5", still a WIP but I feel like I'm "halfway-ish". SW: 191 CW: 154 1st GW: 150 I started in August of 2014, strength training with wee-baby weights and 5k training, while eating at a deficit, got more serious about it in January 2015 and used MFP to track everything for the first couple months. I dropped 15 lbs…

I've been lifting on and off for over a year. Getting serious about it now and starting stronglifts 5x5. Lifting is amazing.

Hey all! I'm new to the group. I've been strength training off and on for just over a year now. I want to get more serious about it so I started Stronglifts a week ago. Started higher on the squats than suggested because I couldn't bring myself to squat the empty bar. Today's workout: SQ: 5x5x80lbs OHP: 5x5x45lbs DL:…

I stopped buying a mocha every morning and started drinking the perfectly fine, free black coffee at work. Shopping in the produce/meat/dairy aisles, and avoiding the middle of the store. Planning your exercise, packing a bag the night before, or sleeping in your running clothes. Figuring out the best way to achieve 10000…

I'm 5'2 and a half and started out at 191 in August of 2014, and I'm now 154. My first milestone weight I've been aiming for is 150, mostly because it seemed more attainable than going straight for 120-130. Now that I'm almost there, and after more research, I'm going to start focusing more on body fat % rather than…

Definitely do that. I just started 5x5 last week and even though I finished the Barbell Row the 5 sets at 65 last time, I did it again today because it was so damn hard. After this second time, I think I'm good for going up to 70.

I have a few! Clothing related: I caved and bought new jeans when I put my old pair on and it felt like cinching a potato sack. I went from size 12 to size 8, which is a size I've never been. I'm even wondering if I should have gone for the size 6, instead. I'm also realizing that I need a new belt. I pulled out a medium…

My weight loss has been a bit slower. I'm down 30 lbs from this time last year. I attribute some of that to exercise-weightlifting 3x a week and running 1-3 tines a week. I attribute more to changing my diet - I eat more whole foods - paleo-ish, and switched to black coffee. I don't always keep up with my work outs as I…

1 Banana, a cup of coffee, and an handful of pistachios after I walked to work. Never really been a breakfast person, so eating anything in the mornings is a step up for me.

Hi! I'm going to give this a go, too! I didn't participate in the one last month but I did drop 10 lbs. on my own. this will keep me motivated to keep it up. :D Name: Allyson Age: 25 Height: 5'2" Start weight (1st Feb): 173.6 Goal weight (1st March): 165 Weigh ins: 1st Feb: 173.6 8th Feb: 15th Feb: 22nd Feb: 1st March:…
