Hi all. First time posting. I started stronglifts on Feb 19 and am loving it. I'm super excited about my progress so far! Today I did: Squats 5x5 90 lbs Overhead press 5x5 50 lbs Deadlifts 1x5 120 lbs

Both are bad. I work in a vascular surgeon's office and see the effects of smoking on a daily basis. Lots of people having strokes due to carotid artery stenosis and can barely walk due to blockage in their legs which can also lead to amputation.

I am and on the same week as you! Yes it's pretty hard!

I just found the group. Am I too late?

OMG! Is that really you? What a transformation!!! You're unrecognizable from your old self. Way to go!

We're doing great! I was due Oct 2nd and had my baby Sept 20th. I ended up quitting my job to stay home with her. I'm enjoying it so much. She's so much fun! I'm getting really close to prepregnancy weight but these last few pounds just don't want to come off!

Wow! You've done an amazing job!!! Congrats!

You look great and I can definitely tell! Keep up the good work!

I'm here. I just had a baby 4 months ago and am still trying to get fit! :)

Hi. I have a 4 month old and am currently doing bikini body mommy to try to get in shape. Feel free to add me! :)

I've been using random exercises for logging bc I have no idea how many calories I'm actually burning. I've used aerobics, jumping jacks, and pushups so far for my logging.

Yeah today about killed me! I definitely had to do a few modifications to get through it! I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long to weigh myself bc I usually weigh quite often too.

I also did the HIIT. It felt like an awesome workout. I'm super sore all over now!

I have a 3 month old baby and this is my first time doing anything like this. I'm hoping I can stick with it! Here's the results of my fitness test. 1. 40 2. 60 (? kinda lost count so not positive about this one) 3. 9 modified 4. 16 5. 23 6. 8 7. 17 8. 36 sec That was so hard!

Awesome job girl!!!

Haha! Thanks Jai! You're too sweet. :)

I got pregnant using this method within 3 months! I would definitely not recommend it! I have never had any chest pains with birth control. I have taken a few different pills, the patch, and depo shot. I started having extreme lack of sex drive on the pill and just had a baby (by choice this time haha) and now am at the…

Thank you!

I have a one month old and logged most of my pregnancy. I haven't started logging again yet but plan to very soon. I have about 10 or so pounds left to be at my goal weight. Feel free to add me! Your baby is so cute!

I would definitely stock up on diapers and wipes but not formula since you don't know what your baby will be able to take.

Exclusively pumping sucks!!! I just went through trying to breastfeed and she wouldn't latch so had to just pump then give it to her and it's so time consuming and stressful. It's bad enough to have to feed them every 2 to 3 hours but also trying to find time to pump in there too is just terrible IMO. I lasted 2 weeks and…

Thank you! :) She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She was born at 38 wks 2 days.

It's good to know others can relate. It makes you feel like you've failed but I try to tell myself it's fine. At least I tried. :)

Thanks everybody! :)

Girl, we had a terrible time with breastfeeding! At first my milk took forever to come in. She lost almost a pound in 3 days. So I was told to start supplementing. I had to use a nipple shield from the beginning bc they said I had sort of flat nipples. Once I started supplementing, she basically gave up on trying to suck…

Thank you! I was really nervous of what I would look like PP for the 2nd time around but so far am happy even though I have a long way to get to where I really want to be.

I think I have one pair of jeans that fit me right now. I bought them while pregnant during my in between stage. I'm hoping I can just wear them for now until I can fit back into my other jeans. I will be on maternity leave until December so won't be really "getting dressed" much anyway. I just wear yoga pants and stretchy…
