Thanks ladies! I used to go to physio but haven't in years. It's covered by work... well, 9 or 10 sessions per year. You're right, no need to try to self diagnose when I have professionals that can do it for me. I'm going to call them this week :)

I'd love to join you ladies. I'm a full time working mom. My husband works A LOT! He owns 4 businesses and is gone usually 6 days a week, 12-15 hrs/day. We have 7 children (17, 15, 12, 11, 9, 7, 5). I'm trying to lose 40-50 lbs. I've been on mfp on and off for years and re committed on May 1. I began Stronglifts that day,…

I was pretty sore last week but not so much this week... almost made me wonder if I was doing something wrong lol

I started a week and a half ago. Feel free to add me and let me know how you're doing with it :)

Thanks ladies! I took a better look in the gym today. Feeling less intimidated so took my time. They actually have 1 set of 2.5 lb plates. I ordered some 1.25lb plates and I think I'll be good to go once they get here. If I need to order smaller plates than that I will DEFINITELY keep that link in mind :)

Thanks so much I know my post was all over the place I was trying to type it quickly while waiting for my daughter Definitely didn't think of using the scale to weigh the fixed barbell lol Feel a little silly now but kind of glad I asked The ohp was just today Shoulder is a little sore I'll know tomorrow whether it's a…

Once again, thanks so much... I definitely over think things when trying to learn. My left knee was a little sore yesterday, likely due to some poor form but it's 100% this morning. My left shoulder was also not good... kind of in the area between shoulder blades but more to the left, but that's been a multi year "injury"…

Thanks ladies! I know it's a silly question but still had to get it out there. I know that with a considerable amount to lose I will not stay this weight forever and any stalling should be temporary. Definitely taking measurements and pictures this weekend so I have something to refer to other than the scale... different…

Thank you!

I was a correctional officer for many years... funny, while on the job I weighed the least I ever have as an adult... it was after getting hurt and going to an office job that I gained weight... I found the shift work made it easier for me to get to the gym and plan my meals (as I despised the jail food we were fed lol) I…

This inspired me enough to go grab a kettlebell to try it out, though my confidence isn't high enough to try stronglifts yet lol A couple questions though... 1) did I understand correctly that your suggestion is swings and squats on day a and squats and push on day b? 2) how would you count this under exercise? Does it…

I will see my mom at xmas and then not again until mid April... I want to be down 16lbs by then... that'll put me at 155 and roughly 4 lbs a month, which I think is totally doable, as long as I don't blow this diet out of the water when I'm in Jamaica for a week over new years lol

I'm a 36 yr old mom with 5 children (8 to 17). I also work full time and also commute, which also takes up about 11 hrs of my day. My children are also actively involved in many activities and work, but none of them have their licence yet so add that to living out of town and I am BUSY! My husband owns 3 denture clinics so…

I actually didn't make it last night, but not due to fear. My husband offered to bring my daughter to gymnastics since he was home before me. I usually get off work on Friday at 430, drive home (20 min out of town), pull into my driveway and she jumps in the van, then drive back to town and have her at gymnastics for 530.…

Wow! Your replies have been amazing... THANK YOU! The gym is usually unstaffed, and not very busy. I don't understand how seeing 3 or 4 people inside, through the windows, can freak me out so much. I told my daughter today that I would love if she would come with me. She said she really doesn't have the $ for a membership,…

Thanks :) I know that if I push though I will likely feel much better. I notice all my symptoms are increasing again, in all aspects of my life. I can't help but think that if I was back into a regular workout routine I might feel even half as good as I used to. I think it would help me HUGE! I just need to get myself in…

Thanks a lot for your responses... I have a friend that belongs to this gym but she is very rarely here (she works in a different city) Looks like tonight is another night that isn't going to work out for me (literally!) I can feel my anxiety shoot right up just sitting here... I can't believe I went from such a people…

Congrats and best of luck to both of you! I'll share a little story... when I got engaged December 2015, my goal was to lose 30 lbs before the wedding. By the time my August 2016 wedding came around I was actually UP 10 lbs... Meh... I was still a beautiful bride and I still married the man of my dreams... I think it's a…

Made this for dinner... well, cooking it as we speak. I've added jalapeño peppers to mine for some spice. Thanks for the recipe!

I'll join in here. I only work a 40 hr work week but have 5 children of my own and 2 step kids... my kids are all over the place... one is a competitive gymnast, 1 plays football, another plays hockey... you get the idea. My husband works 12-16+ hr days, 6 days a week... TIME is my biggest obstacle but I'm working on…

I'm 36, mom to 5 and step mom to 2. I'd love to shoot for a 50lb loss but am aiming for 30 lbs at this time. Please feel free to add me :)

I'm hoping for another 20-30lbs by July to fit into my current dress for Aug but am going to buy a new dress tomorrow so I will look amazing either way! I've lost 8 lbs in the past month and expect to keep working at it but I'm just not sure, with the dress I have, that my ribs aren't just too wide. I am also going to try…
