I'm new to lifting and asked the same question and ultimately, I'm very glad I chose to go the 45 Olympic route. Don't get me wrong, I thought I was gonna die under the weight of it alone when I tried squats for the first time but got the hang of it easily and I like the length of the bar because I have long arms and feel…

As long as you don't look like you're smuggling a squirrel in your shorts, we're good. And I prefer whatever other body hair you have naturally over stubble.

Have you seen the video of actor Ryan Hurst shaving off his Opie beard? THAT made me cry.

When George died on Grey's.

I'm 35, 5'6" and 144. Not sure of a goal weight, aiming more toward lowering my BF% which is at 29% right now.

Love this, thanks!

Mine is open.

We adopted our girls from the Humane Society last year. They're 2 year old Shepherd/Husky mixes and are sisters. They had already been returned to the HS twice and were a package deal.

We tailor portions to the kid and the food being served. If it's not their favorite entree, we'll slip an extra scoop of veggies but err on the side of you can have more if you're still hungry. My oldest would eat his own foot if I served it on his plate, so we have to have him scale back on his seconds because his eyes…

135. That's 9 pounds lower than now and 20 pounds lower than my last license said that was 7 years old.

I aim to go over for protein and fat and to stay under carbs. I don't really watch sodium or sugar. Definitely want to stay under cals. I get a good chuckle over the little message at the end but don't take it seriously. It's been saying a varied number of weights for me for the last two months, none of them have happened.

Years ago I was with someone who treated me like that. He actually told me once that if I gained weight, he'd still care about me but that "we'd just be good friends". I can't imagine being with someone who was so shallow that there was no give with their perception of me. What was the limit? 5 pounds? 10? Would something…

Are you posting this from 1955? Who uses the word "cats" as a euphemism for men?

Wow, how gorgeous are you?? Great work!

I love this. You guys seem like a great couple. Best wishes.

Current faves for protein are Yoplait nonfat Greek yogurt (the blue tub, not the purple), Jack's turkey jerky, Blue Diamond raw almonds and Life Choice mint chocolate bars (really more of a meal replacement than a snack for me). There's also a great website called Skinnytaste.com that has great recipes that are modified to…

If you have a smartphone, the You Are Your Own Gym is a great app for bodyweight exercises with various levels of intensity. It doesn't require traditional fitness equipment.

I love her kickboxing and like the good, old 30 day shred. Ripped in 30 was a bit much for me as a beginner.

It's not cheating, it's an interview process for your next big mistake.

Pecan sandies dipped in full fat cool whip.

I do them on alternate days and keep my cardio pretty short because, to be honest, I don't like doing it. Maybe a 20 minute HIIT on the treadmill or some incline intervals.

I loved this part as well and found it to be good advice. Heavy lifting is worth a try and it's not forever- if you don't like the results, it's not like it's a lifetime heroin addiction.

This is the kind of ish I need in my life.

I LOVE Nina Dobrev's figure. I'm far too big in the ribcage and waist to have her shape but I find it very enviable.

Love your results and thanks for giving your timeline.

It's not at all. I use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the seeds after cutting them lengthwise. You can do variations, too- chicken taco boats, southwest, enchiladas, etc.

If you can't fashion zucchini boats, slice them into 1/2" thick rounds. Hollow out the seeded part, put them it on parchment paper and put mozzarella cheese inside, spoon some pizza sauce in, sprinkle a little more cheese and some oregano on the top and pop them in the oven until melty at 350 for pizzucchini.
