Feel free to add me, I started just 3 weeks ago :)

Mine gets a little untamed at times too. Wait is that TMI? On a serious note, I didn't read the article because the quote was too whiny for my taste. I think men and women have always had a certain body image society deemed appropriate. The standards have changed throughout time, but that's about it. You either care about…

Good points. Especially #6. Every bit of success we have in anything in life starts with our attitudes.

Any oil you like, as long as you measure and tracking. When I feel like having the extra oily taste I use butter or coconut oil, but I cook with a ceramic pan so no oil is really needed :D

Mmmm butter! I remember as a kid we used to make fun of the I can't believe it's not butter, it's crazy how margarine has taken over!

One of my recent favorites is cottage cheese with chopped strawberries drizzled with honey. Low calorie, high protein and delicious :)

Read the 5x5 report by Mehdi. It explains the why's, but to answer your question yes order matters, at least if you to follow the 5x5 program. Squats are ordered first because they are deemed the most important. Then bench/press to give your lower back and legs a break, then rows/deadlift to work posterior chain again.…

I started strong lifts around the same time as you and all I have to say is of course our form isn't perfect! Look up videos, the stronglifts program has lots of videos to watch. Then film yourself. Then compare. Then repeat. Filming yourself will also help you get over being discouraged. I filmed myself from day one and…

Why even let it bother you? Train for yourself, set nutritional and fitness goals for yourself. ...YOURSELF. Doing anything as a "I'll show you" is kind of petty and distracts you from your goals.

Wait it out a month before getting crazy about the scale. Just focus on working out and eating within your calorie goal. No need for the extra stress. In fact hide your scale for a month. Take all of your body measurements and in a month retake them. They tell a better story than the scale. If there are absolutely no…

I'm definitely an on your own person. I love working out by myself. That's why I have a home gym :D . I feel more concentrated and honestly enjoy the solitude

My favorite soda is China Cola, such a treat! As for any other soda it just depends on my mood really, I go through phases :p But if someone asked me to describe the taste of poison I would say diet soda (aspartame more specifically). Blaaaaaah

Bump ;) Aha really great post. Thanks for all of the great info :D I just started a couple weeks, but strength training is my favorite so far. Can't wait to see myself in a year

I just started lifting and this happens to me! I enjoy the energy high, but not when i want to sleep. I have found morning works best for me because of this.

I am a beginner at strong lifts 5x5 (only one week down :p ) and so far I love it. I actually am looking forward to my next workout. It's very basic. I have a home gym so I watched a ton of videos to get the form down (still a work in progress). I am completely brand new to lifting and very happy I chose this program to…

Hi I started almost two weeks ago and my ultimate goal is around 70 lbs. Anyone feel free to add me :smiley:

Anyone feel free to add me. I need more friends on here. I am 27 living in cali and looking to lose around 70 total.

I am around the same weight and haven't really lost anything yet ( just started :p ) and tomorrow is day 3 of strong lifts 5x5. The program is very easy to understand and I have heard lots of good reviews about it throughout the forum

Yea the graph is working fine for me too. Must just be a glitch, I hope they fix it soon though because it's a little discouraging seeing zero:s

When I use the app for android it doesn't track my weight loss. The Web page works fine for me tho

The only thing that bothers me in the gym is when people have far too much cologne/perfume on. Blaaaaaah

I had one of those days yesterday! I woke up and wanted to eat everything! I just ate an extra snack and then did some cardio. Today is my strength training day and I'm barely hungry. Go figure...

I track everything mostly because I like to see the nutrients

People have always underestimated my weight, even at my slimmest. I have always been on the muscular side so I am guessing that's why.

Hey 50 by the end of the year sounds like a good goal! I am around the same weight as you. I just started strong lift 5x5 and c25k ( today actually). Would love more friends. anyone feel free to add me

Great job :). I am the same height and have the same weight goal! Even getting Down to 170 will be good ;)

Feel free to add me :)

I use a tablespoon in my coffee in the morning. Such a yummy treat. I notice how much more energetic I am when I have the oil vs I dont. I also do oil pulling, but that's a different story ;)

March 18th is my bday :). I am going for 10-15 pounds by then. Feel free to add me

I just base my water intake off of how I feel. If I start to feel sluggish I drink a glass of water and usually I feel a lot better.
