I can't speak for others but when we go to a theme park the only leisure is sitting on the bench if you're waiting on the others to ride a ride. We like to get in as much play as possible for the money we spend so we do not stroll. OP do you stroll? do you hustle? Do you walk at a moderate pace? If you don 't have a…

We thought about putting ours outside in the detached garage but we had some stuff stolen out of there not that long ago. We have ours where our dining room should be (we have an eat in kitchen and that room was originally our home office). It's right smack in the center of the house. I think it's rather appropriate since…

Oh snap!

I also usually have two but sometimes I end up skipping one or having them both after lunch. I recommend snacking on something with protein it holds off hunger better for me. I eat a special K protein bar ( not as high cal as a lot of protein bars) Greek yogurt, fruit and on occasion peanut butter (I bring the jar and have…

Rice is a filler if it's not long grain it has little nutritional value I think she's saying she needs to buy things that keep for quite awhile such as frozen or canned goods so she makes less trips. frozen vegetables are not expensive OP and they are just as good as fresh or so close is negligible. The main thing for…

They seem to have contradicted themselves in the Rate of weight loss part. they say in the long term there is no difference in weight loss between moderate and aggressive goals. then go on to say losing weight more slowly might interfere with ultimate success. Has my reading comp ability took a nose dive or does A argue…

Op there's a lot of women lifters on here now and there is also a Stronglifts womens group. community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/4601-stronglifts-5x5-for-women Some of the women have moved on to other programs now so there's a pretty good mix f women lifters. I'm on week 3 of Stronglifts myself and loving it. We just…

This hits home with me... hi everyone I'm Shannon by the way and I'm on my 3rd week with SL. I love it it's the only workout I look forward to and DH laughs at me because i like the jelly feel my muscles get after the workout. am I the only one who likes that?

You should do some sort of warm up before any exercise but there is no need to do full blown cardio before or even the same day you lift. It doesn't hurt to walk around or something to get the blood flowing and perhaps do some sets of light weight before you really lift.

*Shrug* it seems to be a trend with my facebook crowd. Actually feeling bad is pretty much what motivated me to do something about it. Maybe that'll happen for some of my fb peeps too.

There's a share button at the top right that makes the code appear at the top left... copy, paste and share.

Meh... I actually like the cups better. It's the Cadbury caramel eggs that get me.

How do you know their goals were ridiculous? I agree with the eat something filling. Protein often works well and drink lots of water and start over tomorrow. If you're really wanting to not eat those extra calories you could take a few out of the next few days to make up for it but if you don't go WAY over you'll still be…

Everyone is different but to me this isn't a diet it's a healthier lifestyle. I've been posting a little update on facebook after every weigh in. My family and close friends can see it so I feel like it keeps me accountable. Also they post words of encouragement and that doesn't hurt either. a good part of my family seems…

As far as school goes the best suggestion I can come up with is leave a couple hundred calories uneaten to hopefully make up for any discrepancy. At home is it possibly for you to help your mom cook and you weigh the food? Or even if you can get the recipes from her and enter them into the recipe calculator it could help…

Eat at a deficit and lift heavy. You will lose weight and hopefully retain most of your muscle. I don't get the pound to pound comparisons. 10 lbs of ping pong balls weigh the same as 10 pounds of bowling ball too so that statement is meaningless.

I feel your pain we still have time. We pretty much do the same thing.

OMG...LOL

With home made buffalo wings and a big yummy salad. i make some kick *** wings.

You can do strong lifts at home but you need the proper equipment. a barbell, bench and squat rack. The squat rack needs to be one with safety bars to catch the bar if you need to drop it. I would also suggest a mirror placed where you can see your form or having someone watch and critique it. If those aren't options you…

Third the love for Stronglifts. I just started it and I actually look forward to workout day. You would have to know me to really get the full implication of that but there it is.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along but if I'm not mistaken it is due to water retention most likely and if so it will go away on it's own as your body adjusts to lifting. I'm sure someone might be able to give you idea about how long to wait before worrying that isn't the issue.

* I just started it. * To minimize muscle loss while I lose and because it's a fairly simple straight forward program. * I have lost 8 lbs but not from 5X5 (again I just started it). I have about 40 more lbs to goal then I'll decide if I'm stopping there or not. * I practice my form and I started lighter than what i'm…

I do mine at home it's a better fit for me right now than the gym. I get the hubby to judge and correct my form. He's been really helpful. It's hard to believe he was arguing with me about doing it a week ago.

There are some ideas in here too if you kindle. I'm going to get one of the peddle things myself. Also drink my water out of small cups so I have to get up more often and I always go to people's desk to tell/ask things.…

IE BULL****

You WERE the only one singing it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

NROLFW is suggested to be used in a two OR three times a week format. I don't see why you can't learn form with two days a week rather than three. sure it might take a little longer but the difference is only one workout per week. I maintain that two days a week is better than none at all unless your doc says no.

I think with only one your results would be pretty slow but with two that shouldn't make a huge difference. With a trainer your results (for the time put in) should be maximized if they're good. Anything is better than nothing.

There is a lot of variant on the time involved. There are lessons on youtube as short as 8 minutes. There is also a very long class that the warm up and one movement take about 30 minutes. I've begun working my way through that one. There aren't any classes in my area but you might want to check for some in yours because…
