That top left is ADORABLE! You look great!

I enjoy all the macros.

I would suggest looking into a lifting program you can follow on your own at the gym or with a friend. I would suggest something for beginners even if you feel like you have a handle on weights from classes. It is a different animal when you start to go heavier. Form needs to be right before you move up the weight.

I would definitely consider changing things up. I like the suggestion about getting outside. What are your goals? I personally used to enjoy some of the classes like body pump, etc. However, as I built strength I shifted to powerlifting training which is a challenge mentally and physically. I like the numbers game of…

Who isn't looking, haha

She takes pride in her amazing brows!

Exactly what I was thinking. Tongue in cheek humor with maybe some constructive criticism too!

I was actually stoked because I thought this was going to be "rate or roast the person above" not just one specific person. Like the usual rate me thread but with a twist of potential sadness.

Be in it. Oh wait, I have a home gym so there's never any other humans there. Sometimes one of my dogs though :) I sort of want to go back to a gym but then I read these threads and appreciate my solitude!

Hahahahaha, noooooo I meant having to interact with humans vs. eating delicious fruit!

Honesly, people in the afternoon are probably worse for you than fruit.

Probably

You have to decide what is important to you and make it a priority regardless of your schedule. I really hate that they cut your hours, that stinks, so of course you should look for a new job. That said, before work, I get up at 4:30 and work out 4-5 days a week, I work 40 hours minimum per week (consistent times for the…

I would actually eat both for my snack.

Hahaha, yeah I am at 2603 today :)

This is an old picture, but I am running out the door so it's all I have got. I didn't start at a normal weight exactly, I was overweight but lost weight down from about 188 to 132 which was between 2009 & 2012. Between 2013 and 16 I ran a bulk and a lot of recomp. I have since bulked again (my current profile pic is just…

I don't think I have ever rewarded myself for doing a workout, but I know that a lot of my friends on here look to me as a person who is consistent with workouts and I don't like to disappoint people so I try to get them done :)

When I first joined this site I had every excuse in the book for why I had gotten heavy, why I didn't have time to exercise, etc. even though I was here starting to log. A friend on here sent me a long winded message that included the words "I don't think you are ready to lose the weight." Not overly harsh, but had a…

Shred it all immediately, I feel like it comes off the bone so much easier while it's still warm :)

What are your current goals?

Agreed, those that are traveling are likely NOT the ones who would trash anything.

I'm going to handle it like a boss.

Super happy...edited to add the "why" part...he's smiling his face off...duh

You're very welcome! Good luck, you're numbers will be back up in no time once you get form down!

As far as improving your form, this is great advice, try it out :)

While it is possible you are fully capable of lifting a heavier weight, if you can't do this weight with good form, then it is a weight issue. As others have mentioned, it would be safest to scale back the weight you are using until your form is good then move up from there. It is not a slap to the ego, it is about keeping…

Not a lost cause, just try it and see what happens. If you are eating at a deficit, you may drop some fat which would show more definition in your arms (provided there is some muscle there to begin with).

Calories burned with strength training is a bit of a crap shoot really, because there is rest between sets, etc. What the above poster meant was log "Strength Training" under "Cardio" for the number of minutes you lifted. You can also log your lifting stats under Strength training, but as you already saw, it doesn't give…

Definitely.

Yeah, the only supplement I take is bear blood.
