Ok girlfriend. First of all DONT BE EMBARRASSED! Do you think all those "meatheads" just magically got to the point they're at now, looking bulk and strong? Absolutely not. Everybody has to start somewhere. I still struggle with push-ups but you know what, al that matter is you are there and you're making yourself better.…

Being in college, finding the right support I need is TREMENDOUSLY difficult. Everywhere I turn people are eating pizza, cake, binging on beer, taco bell, you name it! I've been in the boat where I tried a lot of different things with dieting and they all failed because I gave in to temptations brought by unsupportive…

I workout twice a day. In the morning, I run on an empty stomach, as soon as I get up so nothing there. However, when I hit the weights hard in the after noon, I already have 5 meals in out of 7 for the day. My meal before my workout is my "dinner." I have chicken, brown rice, and asparagus, pretty much every day (keeping…

I take this as well and love it. I consulted a friend of mine who is a personal trainer and this is what he told me "I recommend wheybolic extreme 60 as a good muscle and strength building protein and its also good for helping cut weight because it increases metabolism." I can tell you from personal experiences that it…

Those look like things I would like... I, for some reason, am way less motivated to lift heavy or do a superset to the tune of rap/pop. I NEED rock! I have a few from your list but I'll definitely look into the others, thanks! :smile:

I LOVE lifting! Majority of the time, I'm the only girl in the gym and it empowers me! I love "hanging with the guys." For me, lifting heavy weights is an adrenaline rush. I am on a lifting plan where I do legs on monday, shoulders/abs on tuesday, chest on wednesday, back/abs on thursday, and biceps/triceps on friday. All…

I have a couple of quotes that I turn to when I need a little push. I hope they can help for you like they have for me. "What do I fear? I fear stagnation and lack of proress. I fear never reaching my potential and being average. I fear being forgotten...the past...yesterday's news. I fear giving up and being passed by,…

I get up every morning at 5am and either run or walk, depending on what my training schedule says (I'm training for the Warrior Dash and the tough Mudder). When I get home from work, ususally between 5-6pm, I eat my dinner or my pre-workout meal. Then I head for the gym to hit the weights so roughly 7pm. After weights, on…

Agree 110%. For me it's about goals and the way I feel. If I eat 1000 calories made up of ice cream pizza, etc, ite inevitable I'll feel sluggish and not to mention, I'm not giving my body ANY nutrients. Now, if I use those calories with lean chicken breast, broccoli, brown rice, etc, then I know I'm giving my body its…

My apologies, I will correct myself here. When you sleep your metabolism runs slower. In order to get it going again, you need to eat. This is why breakfast is so important. If you wait until lunch time to eat anything, your metabolism doesnt get going until then, and your body wont burn as many calories, which then leads…

I recently just got off WW the beginning of this month. My mom has been doing it and has been successfullosing the weight. I did lose a pound or 2 but wasn't progressing how I wanted. I am 21 years old and am very active. I just began vigorously training for the Warrior Dash in August and the Tough Mudder in October. To…
