I'm going to go back down to 60lbs and get the form kicka$$ before I go back up again.

Thanks I will try that. I was so mad I couldn't make it work. So I will totally try that on Thursday.

Life gets in the way sometimes especially with kids. Sometimes you gotta choose on the fly. Maybe you go to a carnival. This is life I'm not going to punish myself if I eat unclean sometimes. I'm just trying to make sure the majority of what I eat is clean. Im doing it for myself and to let my children learn healthy…

I make a juice almost every day. I LOVE juicing. I don't do it with a blender. Like the other poster above said adds a bunch of fibre to pile up. I still get all my fibre goals from smoothies and other things. Feel free to add me as a friend to see what ingredients i use. i also eat mostly clean. My coffee substitute most…

Bump

Okay I really wanted to search through our forums not to ask the same question again BUT gonna do it anyway. I'm really struggling with form on my rows. I did my first two sets and then gave up until Thursday whe my trainer is there. I watched all sorts of videos last night but I can't seem to find the right position where…

Starting month 2 of insanity monday!!!

Starting second month on Monday. I've lost quite a few inches and a few pounds. I'm enjoying the journey. Getting ramped up for month two. LET'S GO!!!

I also have 30+ pounds to lose and I'm starting at 38% BF. I'm 167lbs and 5'3". I just took before pics so not ready to post until a couple of more months. I started with a crossfit type bootcamp 5 days a week for three months. Then started Insanity. Now I'm doing Insanity and Stronglifts and so far haven't had much…

Yippee!! Nailed my form on deadlifts today. . . oweee for my hammy's tommorrow. . . .maybe the Gluteus Maximus too. . . . oh well i can look forward to a nice lavender epsom salt bath tonight. Im on SL session 6 and my numbers are at: Squats 70lb OHP 40lb gonna do the big girl bar next time!! Deadlift 105lb Only thing I'm…

Fittree I too am noticing more room in my jacket. It makes me happy too. Scale isn't moving but my clothes are getting loosey.

Good News! My arm seems to be pretty much normal. Bad news got laid up with a head cold BUT by afternoon the headache was gone so I went and did a Stronglifts workout anyway. Still not sure about form for Rows. However I'm feeling better about squats and bench press.

When I get my Deadlift booty I'm totally buying me a pair of those Mika Yoga shorts.

I log on everyday. Try to eat clean and I have an open diary. I am currently doing beachbody insanity and stronglifts.

So on Wednesday at my sons skating lesson I caught my figure skate pick in the ice and fell on my outstretched arm :( thought it was broken but all movement seems to have returned with only a little soreness in my elbow area. still cant make a full arm roation from palm face down to face up. I also seem to have thrown out…

I find myself coming here everyday to read the goings on. Thanks girls for the entertainment. Did my B? Workout today. Too scared to load up the full weight on the dead lift because I don't trust my form yet. What I do t understand is with the overhead press I don't seem to have a problem lifting 40lbs on a preloaded bar.…

Did 30 minutes of stronglifts. Boo yah!! Feeling pumped!

I'm down too!

MCctin65 welcome!!! I just went through this. The first few times were super awkward but it's getting easier now. I also read new rules of lifting and also thought it was too complicated. Loving stronglifts.

This is how I make pumpkin pie shake - no pumpkin 1/2 c cold boiled sweet potato or Yam 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice + liquid of your choice My apple pie is: Half chopped fresh apple 1tsp cinnamon or more if you love 1 scoop vanilla protein powder + liquid of your choice Those are my favourites…

In other news I had my session with the PT and it was great. Looks like I will be practicing deadlift form for a little while. Gonna have to start at a lower weight just for form. I can do all the weights in the SL app except for the overhead press. I can do the deadlift @ 95 but only with supervision until I get my form.…

Do they have a vanilla one? I'm using Iso93 and I hate it because I can't stand the flavour of artificial sugar. I asked if they had any with real sugar and they looked at me like I was out of my mind. ;) in that case I'd rather have no sweetener and add it myself. I'm going to use this one all up and after that look into…

I start with full push-ups and go to my knees when I can do another one on my toes. I can probably do 30 push-ups now. Five months ago I could barely do 2 or three before dropping to my knees. As your core muscles gain strength so does the ease of doing push ups. I love the plank running and ski abs.

Thanks everyone I've made some great supportive friends on here. There is always room for more.

Here is a great video on making juice with a high speed blender. I've never done this but it seems reasonable. The lady doing the video has a lot of videos on YouTube about raw food. http://youtu.be/YGendHVlxro

You can also use a high quality blender to blend your juice then squeeze the juice out with a nutbag. This method can also produce great juice. You could always try with the blender you have add a little water and squeeze through the bag. I think nutbags for making nut milk can be purchased at most health food stores. To…

Did my second SL workout today. Still feeling awkward. Still worrying about form. On a good note I took charge and felt more confident in the Gym full of men. No women in sight again. First time doing dead lifts. The app fooled me and I don't input until after so did one set of 4 at 95 failed the fifth and then went down…

I love juicing! I try to have green lemonade (kale, lemon, apple or orange or fruit) everyday first thing instead of coffee. It gives the same energy burst as coffee, does wonders for my skin, gets my mind rolling and more. Sometime I switch it up for other vegetables and fruit. I use a lot of things I don't normally eat…

Hello all I'm new here. I just started Stronglifts today. My first day was pretty uncomfortable. I was scared to try lifting in the rack without a spotter. I also was worried about proper form AND I was the only woman in there. I used the smith machine today but I think that was my first and last time trying that.…
