I have this 0cal squish syrup that I add to my water during the day it has caffeine and some B vitamins in it. I’m just going to keep it in unless I hit a big stall or so. But for now I need it to get the water down.

I just went through my MFP history and at my lowest weight I was 165. When I see the progress pictures of myself that I took then I realize I looked really good at that weight. Despite my ideal weight on paper being 120. But I didn’t see it at the time. I just saw that I had 49 pounds to loosed I actually thought in my…

Hey all, I’m on day 3 of OMAD and day 6 of IF. I’ve been on and off (mostly off) MFP for a few years now. I started this last time about 5 days ago at 183.5 (which is more than I weighed after I delivered my 3rd child 4 years ago!!) I was 173 in December 2018 and in 6 months without really noticing I put on 10 pounds. It…

I applied a few days ago but no reply yet...?

! [/quote] How do you copy this from SL App to MFP? [/quote] I take a screen shot on my iPhone and then load it as a picture on mfp.

Honestly? I think you should read your posts and look for the part where you take responsibility... Don't see it? Neither do I. It's not the kids, pcos, endometriosis, breastfeeding. You are not not doomed to fat because of any of these things. Take responsibility. You are eating more than you need. You are probably not…

Hello Ladies! Good day today. I'm struggling on OHP but I'm not surprised. I tried the Olympic bar today and it's still too heavy. Will try again on Friday before I go back to the baby bar on Monday if I must. Went up with fractionals on my squat, and hope to make 100 pounds on Friday. Deadlift was great. I think I have…

I am doing the 5x5 program. I lift m/w/f When would you suggest I do the goblet squats, swings and presses? In what amounts? No chance for the pull up at the moment. It was my goal for December to maybe do 1!

Good day today. Went up on BP and Row. I tried to increase on my squat but I was almost tipping over. We don't have smaller than 5lb increases at the gym and I forgot my 2 lbs homemade ones at home. Will try again on Wednesday.

The Kettlebell swings, does that mean you did 230? So 23 swings 10 times?

Me too. I'm happy with it.

@ninenines when you started were you doing the weighted pull ups? I can't even do a normal one?! :s

Thanks! I just tried this today. Was awesome. Will try to build it into my regular gym time.

Bleh. Stuck on 90 lb squat and form not better....

Please let me know as well interested to know the answer

Thanks. Do any of you find it gets in the way of your 5x5 progress?

Ok here is a side view of my squat. I posted it on the facebook group so will start with what they said: Wrong shoes - check Don't step so far from the safety - did that just for the video so could see my feet properly Consider low bar instead of high bar here - will try tomorrow and see how that goes And to look up or…

How do I load a video pls?

I took my dh to the gym today. He is not a gym person at all, but was so nice to work out with him. I should have gone up on barbell row but he found it heavy so I left it, and we went up on bench since he felt it was light, and it was great since I was able to do it! I'm going back to my normal program from Monday, but…

I put my own recipes in the recipe builder. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it. I eat a mixed diet, but am Indian so often eat Indian food. Usually non-veg.

I eat 3 boiled eggs with a slice of buttered toast everyday. Sometimes with a 1/2 avocado. Keeps me full for hours. If you want scrambled I would do 2 whites and 1 yellow and cook in spray to keep calories low and protein high.

I struggled today. Squat & OHP. Deadlift was great. Failed barbell curl accessory also.

I have had it for about 6 months. I'm taking an anti inflammatory for 2 weeks and then dr will decide for steroid injection or not. I still play golf and lift heavy. It hurts more at rest than when I am playing or lifting. I also use a band thingy to tie around the forearm which has been helpful during sport. I quit tennis…

Hi All! Making good progress in squats, but bench was hard. I could use some fractionalals but I only have 1 pounds and the next plate i have at the gym is 5... I failed with the jump to 5 (each side) so deloaded and went back to last weight. What do you all do if you don't have fractionals?

"That's why other primates (who eat little to no meat) are still swinging from trees and flinging crap at each other." Best thing I have read... Ever! I wish I could awesome and like you... But I can't. So I choose Awesome!

There under goals you see calorie and macronutrients goals. You can enter it manually there.

Your rmr will not include your regular daily activity and calories from exercise. Once you decide what calories you should be eating, you can set it manually under goals I think.

I'm with you. I did awesome for 6 months. Went on holiday. Ate at "maintenance" for 10 days and came home 3 pounds heavier. I lost my willpower for food but kept up the exercise. Still eating below maintenance, but not the deficit I should. I am taking the summer off. I'm still pushing the workouts and lifting heavy. But…

Baby wipes and a fresh change of clothes. Some deodorant and a spritz of perfume. Wash your face. If your hair is long or sweaty a quick dry and tie it up if it's long.

Good day again. Am really enjoying the program and today the dead lift started to feel heavy. I could have easily done another set but am trying to stick to the program. I'm sure with 2-3 more increases I won't be able to even make the first set.
