Tameko I need to know what is on your plate in your profile picture?? Chunkmunk congratulations on the 120 Squats!!! Vegas you will get past that stall! Do you have food before your workout? I find I do much better if I am well fed right before. And even the day before.

Hofo congrats on the awesome loss!! Vegas congratulations on your tape measure loss!! Squats: 125 lb OHP: 67 lb tried 70 again but so such luck DL: 145 lb (I'm pleased about this one because although I don't weigh 145 now I do remember weighing 145 at some point! So it's kind of like lifting my weight! LOL! The mind games…

No worries! You are doing great Soosannah! We'll all get where we want to be if we just persevere! I had to start over when I hurt my back so it feels great to finally be moving up a little!! I think the 85 on the bench may actually be a PR! I also wanted to say I love your sharpei! Chunkmunk Congratulations!! To hell with…

I feel exactly the same!! Tameko said that that might subside when we are lifting really heavy weights. I am even going so far as to feel a little depressed on days that I don't lift! How pathetic is that! I run and do other things on other days but there is something about lifting!

The only thing that calms that carb monster in me is to avoid it all together. It is painful at the beginning but after a few weeks the cravings are not as bad. Google Primal Blueprint. It isn't about low carb it is about getting your carbs from vegetables. Potatoes, grains, and sweet fruits do the same thing to me as…

Great workout today!! No fails! Very happy!! Have i mentioned I love lifting!!! Squat 120 lb Bench 85 lb Row 85 lb My little foray into the 1200 calories plus exercise calories didn't work for me. We will have to find another way to save money because I have to eat!!! I am not interested in that binging that was going on.…

Congratulations! That would make my day too!

Thanks Tameko. I'm doing the clean style dead lifts.

End of April! How glorious! We were there for the month of April, leaving at the end and I was so sad because the blossoms were coming out on the trees and I wanted to experience that next phase!! I'm so excited for you!!!

OH gosh, what is a regular dead lift compared to a SL dead lift? I have no idea what I'm doing?

When are you going? Where are you going? I have only been once but I love Scotland!! My husband is a piper and back in 95 we were there for a month going around to the folk fests and Scottish small pipe gatherings. It was awesome!

Oh yeah fishlover that's just awesome!!!

Congratulations on your new set up!!! I'm so excited for you! Yesterday's workout Squat: 110 lb Bench: 85 lb 55455 The weight on my palm was painful. Thank goodness for those safety bars. I couldn't even get the bar back up on the hooks. I was able to finish the last two sets with a big rest though. Row: 82 lb

Sounds fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!

Tameko you are amazing! 175!!! I can't imagine but I'm going to start so I can get there one day too! Yesterday's workout: Squat 105 lb OHP 55544 67 lb That OHP!! I started out feeling so good! I thought for sure I'd be able to get it, but no. DL 125 lb

Vashnic Congratulations On squatting your body weight!!! I look forward to squatting your body weight too! and then mine eventually! LOL! What a wonderful accomplishment!

I like the bench press the best! I remember my dad doing it when I was a kid and I just think of it as a classic. It also seems to help my aikido shoulder. I am finally back up to 100 lb on the squat!! Very happy about that!! I did 80 on both the bench press and the row today. I have decided that I can't afford to eat the…

I'm glad you are only a little sore! Hope you feel better by now. Back pain is not nice. I am lost! Whose leg is that!! Very Beautiful! In fact all the body parts i've been seeing look sexy and strong!

I had a great time lifting today! My Big plates are 25 lbs. It is so exciting to get to use them! Squats: 95 lb OHP: 65 lb DL: 115 I am absolutely blown away by all the heavy weights you people are lifting!

145!!!! Awesome!

Great goals everyone! And Congratulations on all the personal bests! Not to mention moving away from the Smith Machine! Awesome! I plan to keep on keeping on. Trying to stay slightly in the green on calories and avoid sugar, move up on weights if I can and continue with the cardio: aikido, elliptical, running (I'm going to…

Auddii Congratulations!!! What a huge difference! Your belly is smooth and your arms are lean and you have little hips now!! You look Fabulous! Vegas Congratulations to you too on your inches lost! My workout yesterday was good. Squats 80 lb Bench 70 Row 70 And then I went off for a Dr appt and I got my hair cut! It feels…

Wow Wow Wow!!! I want to deadlift 225!!!

Congratulations on all the NSV's!! Very strong people in this group! Amazing photos!! Sorry about the injuries. Welcome to the new people! Squats: 75 I am finally back up to 95 lb DL!! Whoopie!! Big Plates!!! OHP 60 I have to remember to go slowly now. I don't want to hurt myself again. Starting over was ok but I don't…

Listen to this girl! She knows what she is talking about. I agree that we aren't gaining pounds of muscle but I think the muscle does change when we lift and feels bigger so our legs look and measure bigger (I personally like to think I am gaining lots of muscle so I'm going for it!) My legs have lots of fat left on them…

I tried something new! I usually do aikido stretches in-between sets, unless I'm doing laundry, but today I put on Nat King Cole and danced! It was really fun and it really loosened up my body in a way that the regular stretches weren't! It may not work at the gym but If you workout in your basement it is fun!!

From what I understand Gaining muscle involves eating a lot. That may mean that at this point you aren't losing fat so your legs etc may get larger because you are putting on muscle and keeping the fat. But the advantage to having more muscle is that your metabolism increases and you get healthier because you are eating…

Wow! Awesome weights!

Are we supposed to break free from that? uh oh! What kind of chocolate do you like to eat? My favorite is Endangered Species Intense Dark Chocolate with cocoa nibs! I have just been thinking about it. I think I have some in the freezer Sorry about your back. keep moving if you can. We aren't meant to sit still. Walking is…

I get really hungry when I work out too. Exercise is definitely not an appetite suppressant for me! It sounds like you are feeding yourself really well! Great dinner!
