I almost gave out unsolicited advice last night. But I remembered this thread and stopped myself!!

I just copy a boughten brands nutrition as long as it tastes similar..

I'd love to know more about cutting. I've been maintaining for a few months as i learn more, but I know I could probably stand to lose 5-10 pounds... Unfortunately when I think about cutting calories I get hungrier

I felt like this too. I joined a gym a year ago and it just took time to feel comfortable. Now I'm probably too comfortable.

Everything everyone has said plus going to gym around same time has helped me.. Cuz same ppl, familiar faces, similar goals, and respect.

Does anyone know if all instapots are the same pretty much? I need for slow cooking and probably pressure cooking if it really is easy to use? Thanks!

Thank you :) I will check this out!

Thank you :)

I don't know if this is correct place to ask this ...Does anyone know if there is a proven program that works legs with glutes focus 3x a week and upper body 2x a week ? I've been lifting for a year now on my own and writing my own program. (Based on a free training session with PT when I joined gym ((which I realize now…

I'm pretty new at lifting but some unorthodox things I do: made lifting gloves by cutting fingers out of rubber garden gloves (they work very well btw), zercher squats, pullovers with ez bar, and the latest that I was made fun of for ( all in fun) is doing abduction work at the top of a weighted hip thrust with bands.

I'm still learning too. I've had mine set sedentary before too but was eating "over" . Recently I set it to lightly active, which is still on the safe side for me.. I'm pretty active.. But this, logging my exercises, walks, active work, and planning what to eat helps so much. And I eat back most of the calories.

If I'm feeling starving then I know I'm not eating enough or what my body needs. A bagel or donut would only make me feel unsatisfied and probably a stomach ache, but that's me. I need lotsa protein ..and carbs from rice, potatoes, and fruits. I think I forgot your question... I have a lot of high protein/carbs prepped…

Worked up to a set of squats at 160x6 last night! Edited to add pounds

Mine is probably a permanent part of me now!

I count about 2oo calories for every half hour. And I usually count less time than I lift. I drip sweat and eat accordingly on those days.

205 deadlift yesterday!!!!

My latest favorite (these are about 6-7oz fillets with skin) in cast iron (what I have) or non stick skillet put heat at med-high and melt 2-3T butter. When melted place salted and peppered fillets scale side UP. Cook about 7-10 minutes. Flip to scales side down. Sometimes I cover and turn heat off while I do other stuff…

1 cup Blueberries, 1 cup pineapple, red pepper, garlic, 1 cup carrots, .5 cup green beans, mashed potatoes, two kiwis. Veggies make my stomach hurt but I try.

Thank you :)

Joined gym a year ago and lift alone other than gym buddies I've made. And love it!! Bench 95 Squat 150 Deadlift 195

When my kids were small I had a trailer hooked up to my bike and we cycled everywhere, to school, library, Walmart, Starbucks..etc.. I loved it! And my body got very lean and strong from it.

It seems more and more ppl aren't very self aware of how they come across when they say things.. I'm prob guilty too.. Of saying unfiltered stupid things in the gym lol.

I just take those comments as a compliment or a joke.. the last time a couple days ago I said " yeah I don't know what I'm showing off, just my inadequacies" or something like that.. Or I comment on the weight they are working with.

So far today I've soaked it with a black tea bag and put frankinscence eo on it. Met my sis for a walk and showed her. she said she gets one on the top of her foot and hits it with a book to make it go away and welcomed me to middle age! I'll let the Dr hit it with a book on Monday!! Hoping maybe it will just disappear B4…

I'm not going to try to pop or hit mine without Dr looking at it first. So weird that it just appeared out of the blue.. No warning.. No nothing.. Just there suddenly

We'll see! Lol

Oh boy! Lol I can't wait to hear what my Dr has to say.

I just use the Kodiak mix substitute egg and milk instead of water.. Make a bunch and freeze and toast as needed, topping with the peanut or almond butter, banana, and a tablespoon or two of chocolate chips... It hits the spot every time B4 lifting and doesn't make me feel too full or anything either. But I am gonna make…

I'll make these! I usually have a Kodiak waffle, peanut butter, half a banana, and sometimes chocolate chips b4i lift but these sound really good too!!

Hip thrusts, squats, deadlifts, kick backs, weighted back extensions, and single leg variations of all and glute activation B4 lifting
