I just did some 1 Rep Maxs this morning for the first time :) Squat - 145 Deadlift - 155 (although, we did this last and were running out of time - I think I could have added more weight) OHP - 70 I'm 5' 8" and 147lbs. have always loved lifting, but never knew how to find my max before today - really fun! Good luck with…

This is fabulous - you are AWESOME! Great job!!!!

BUMP! THis was my first year at ComicCon and I'm definitely dressing up next year!

I wish :) Nope, Chicago is next month!

I honestly don't know if I classify as nerd...maybe almost nerd? or sort of nerd? but I'm heading to Comic-con this year, so I'm trying to nerd-up a little more :)

Exciting! I don't do muay thai, but I box so maybe there are similarities in prepping for a fight? What helps me the most before a fight is to remember that the day or, even the week before, is not going to make that much of a difference - obviously you don't want to not work out or eat like crap - but don't kill yourself…

? anyone?

bump, would like to get one

That depends on what you want to get out of it...what are your boxing/fitness goals? In general, I highly recommend strength training to go along with any cardio routine because there are so many benefits to building muscle. If you plan to fight, you will want to strength train as well, but you'll want to be a little more…

good grief - she means she has only logged it on MFP today, but tracks it another way most days and no, it will be helpful, not hurtful

Good grief, people - give the girl a break :) Tone (add muscle to) your arms by focusing on tricep, bicep, and deltoids - learn about those three muscles and which moves strengthen them and how to stretch them - the internet is full of info on different lifting routines for arms. Personally, I would say aim to up your…

I have zero gaydar. this has proved problematic at times... oy

Nice!! Great job!!

Thanks for all the input everyone! I asked for opinions and I sure got em :) I think I will cut it short (but I didn't realize that MY idea of short is actually kind of medium/long :) I'll post pics after I do it! And just a side note - I don't typically make decisions based on what I think other people want - BUT I think…

"Make good choices" - I never regret choosing to workout or eat healthy. I usually regret it if I don't. Also, and I recognize this is weird, but there is a commercial for that show, The Mindy Project, in which she grabs the microphone at her ex's wedding and says some dumb stuff and then says "Have a good night everyone!…

bahaha ...I'll see what my hairdresser can do about making me taller :)

hahaha - thanks for all the input! it wouldn't be pixie cut short or anything - It would be shoulder length, or between shoulder and chin length, bob cut. I like Heidi's in this link if you're interested - http://www.thefashionmuse.com/12-of-the-best-celeb-bob-hairstyles/ I sweat a TON and workout a lot, so I would need to…

WOW! Amazing changes! Congrats on your success! And great idea to post pics of your food too!

Oh My Goodness ! 50 lbs in 90 days! That's almost a pound every other day! That is crazy awesome hard work and dedication right there! You look fantastic, congrats on your healthy lifestyle!!!

fasting CAN be dangerous....so can riding a bike, cutting up fruit, or giving birth. anything becomes dangerous when uninformed people get a hold of it just continue to research it and decide what's best for you IF has worked well for me, but I also eat healthy, workout, and net less calories than I consume.

I know that 5 days can feel really reallllllly long, (trust me, I'm 6 days into a new routine) - BUT, give it time - stay consistent with eating healthy and under your calories and stay consistent with working out and you will see a ton of really wonderful changes in the way you look and feel! Make sure the goals you're…

True - it's so beautiful out! TNP can squat over 100#

I hear ya sister! Sometimes I want to say "Actually, I got this way by taking a new diet pill - It's called Get-Off-Your-*kitten*-and-Work-For-It" But in the end, I don't - because I have some truly amazing friends who struggle with their weight, and I know that their comments are not an attempt to make little of my…

I typically train in cute pink or teal shorts and a black workout top. sports bra. gym shoes. boxing - 3 years

I've been bikini shopping all weekend -still haven't found "the one", but I have time :)

hahahaha, good one
