  • Do you like mushrooms and/or onions? I've always loved mushrooms but have normally just eaten them raw. Onions have FINALLY started to grow on me and I feel like mushrooms/onions really add flavor to so many dishes. I love them with pasta (I just make single portions with lots of veggies) and on "hamburger steaks". Also,…
  • I would like an accountability partner as well- I'm a 25 year old female and would prefer someone close in age and would also prefer to message through texting as opposed to this site. Message me if interested!
  • I'm making up some chili today and after work I'm gonna vacuum seal it all up and freeze. Now I just gotta start doing this once a week so I always have a quick meal to heat up!
  • The information is definitely a little overwhelming! What would you recommend to someone who is currently in the worst shape of their lives (being honest here) and wanting to get into weight training without a personal trainer?
  • I'm aware of all that- I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm not necessary going to be going balls to the wall and trying to increase my strength at a rapid pace. I'm going to take my time and try to enjoy the process, and probably have smaller goals then a lot of weightlifters. Even if I did that 5x5 program I…
  • No they don't have a power rack. :( I'm always so torn between machines & free weights. I know free weights are better in the long run if you want what I call "practical strength". lol But I also get afraid of injuring myself due to performing other lifts incorrectly. I have a bad back and haven't had anyone critique my…
  • I think it's crazy too. :( It just sucks because my gym is literally <5 minutes away from my house, and the next closest one would be so much farther away and more expensive it's hard to justify switching.
  • Would you say those leg machines are unnecessary because the Leg Press works those muscles as well?
  • I bet I would love your whole freezer. lol
  • Thanks everyone for the tips! I haven't gotten too super creative with my foodsaver yet, but I'm making chili soon and I'm going to attempt to freeze the leftovers so we'll see how that goes.
  • Thanks for the tips everyone! I'm actually a female so I really don't need anything where I'm working my way up to insanely heavy weights. I just know I need to be lifting heavier weights than what most girls do. So my plan is good to start if I'm not looking to get ripped right? I just want to consistently be reaching…
  • I like the sound of the stronglifts 5x5 program but I gotta see if my planet fitness location will let me get away with deadlifting or not. i wonder if they won't notice if i just use dumbbells? also is it bad to do squats with a smith machine?
