If she had said biceps, glutes, quads, calves or whatever, she would have still been told she needed to lower bodyfat. You lower bodyfat, you see definition. There are plenty of posts where people have lost a lot of weight using cardio that are encouraged to start lifting weight in order to condition their muscles. I also…

Sounds like you are in a calorie deficit. You want to stay that way to shed the extra bodyfat. This link is to some excellent ab/core exercises... http://www.tonygentilcore.com/blog/everything-pallof-press/ Eta: the best part is you're off the dang floor.

Love their arms! LR's right, you're pretty close!

I used to not log bad days. I didn't want to see the red numbers and I didn't want people to gripe at me when I knew I had already messed up. Then came the day I needed to look at my reports. I wanted to know my macro splits and how many grams of whatever it was I was needing to look at. I needed that information and it…

We all have days like that. You'll get one thing straightened out and something else will happen. It's all about the progress and the good days. The good days make all the frustrating ones worth it.

A perky butt... go squats! Go deadlifts!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af2EdvX4pug&feature=youtube_gdata_player These helped me out a lot for squats. I still use them for warmups sometimes. As far as lunges, just keep doing them. You can use a chair for light support by resting a couple of fingers on it until you don't need it anymore. Just wanted to add that…

Love Stargate

The flower scene in 40 days and 40 nights.

You and me, both, sister! Out of the two in the op, Star Trek takes the edge only because I've been watching them longer. I love them both, though.

Too funny!

This brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations Ed!!!

I dropped to 3x5 on Monday and added some accessory lifts. I didn't really know what to do. I just know I was at the point I needed to switch things up. I'm still debating on deloading just a little more and adding reps to get into the hypertrophy range. I wish I had a better "roadmap" of what I need to do to get where I…

Have to have cornbread with red beans and rice, too. I have to put green olives in tuna salad...

Yep, it was a personal attack. Don't give it power over you. Your size has no bearing on whether you can teach or not. From the look of your profile, you're already doing something for yourself. You have all the tools and support you need here. Don't let some little *kitten* throw you off.

She's your sister, call her out on it. Then next time you see her, steal her makeup, a couple of shirts and put her in a headlock until she apologizes. <~ Works for my girls :flowerforyou:

Macaroni & cheese with ranch style beans

I can bench my 12 year old :bigsmile: (85 pounds) 5x5 Just looked at my log, I'm at 95 so... 90 5x5... my 1 rep max would be what? 100-105?

You freakin' rock, woman!!!:love:

Thanks, I really like his site, it's just hard to maneuver with my phone. I can't always find what I'm looking for when I need it.

If you don't want the cake, don't eat it. If it's about staying strict with your calories, this might help... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/172515-frantic-about-adhering-to-the-right-calorie-intake-read-t

She might get it... it was on How to Lose a guy in 10 days. :laugh:

I agree with both of these but I'd like to encourage you to get off the floor for your ab exercises. Add overhead presses and pallof presses to the exercises Cris suggested. OHP's are primarily shoulder exercises but I've noticed that they really engage the core and provide a girdling effect when you pull everything in to…

A 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2?

Congratulations to both of you! You're a sweetheart for bragging on her.

I tried going cold turkey but I had to wean myself off. I got rid of the carbonation by going to sweet tea. Then I alternated sweet tea and water until I increased my water enough that I could give up the sweet tea.

I had to break a major coca cola habit. Water made me sick at first. I bought a water filter and I kept a 4 oz cup next to the kitchen sink and made myself drink one every hour. I graduated up to 8 oz, then to bottled water. After looking for a while, I found a reusable bottle that I liked aand I take it everywhere I go.
