Great job!!

I am 33!

She is beautiful. Made me feel better about myself today!

That's a dude?!?!

Okay... So what about guys posting pics in their tighty whiteys or boxer briefs? Is he showing off his muscles or one in particular? ;)

It also means indiscriminate :)

Lol... Rules are rules!

Good to know.. I ask bc another site has member who post pics in their underwear all the time and it really seems as though their motivation is a little more than just bodybuilding...

I could have used this last night! I was so hungry.. I ended up just going to bed but I agree that if you're hungry you should eat - just make smart choices.

Awesome! Thank you!

That's awesome! I have the iPhone. I'm going to check it out!

I would agree with this because when you're tired your body is looking for an energy boost! And when I'm tired, I don't work out as effectively.

That's awesome! What do they say is the recommended amount? Is it still 8 hours?

I either eat junk or not at all when I'm stressed. Either way I gain - weight - especially around the mid-section. Damn cortisol!

I used to get them too - I learned that my breathing was too shallow. Breathe deeply!

This is very interesting. I wish I was a morning person and could get my workout done in the AM. Having a daughter to get ready before work and school makes for a crazy busy morning and we have very long days - I am gone 11 hours a day and don't get home until 6 in the evening. Then I have to get in my workout, make…

Agree with what everyone else said - Couch to 5K is amazing!

Fernando... 49?

Sexy and I know it!

I try to stay under my calorie goal and exercise 4 or 5 times a week. But I don't feel great when I eat whatever I want - even if I'm under calories. I prefer to eat slow burning carbs and lots of protein, fruits and veggies.

Thanks everyone. I looked at my goals. Didn't realize I had set myself to lose 2 pounds per week. I changed it to .5 but it upped my calories to 1500 and I really felt that was too much. I changed my calories to 1300 and I'll take it from there and see what happens.

Awe :heart: :blushing:

<3

Thanks!

I don't think I'm starving myself :) I eat - I love to cook and eat :) but maybe I do need to eat more to boost my metabolism ? I have a lot of muscle. My caloric intake is based on what MFP set for me. But I'm sure just going by someone's height and weight is not an accurate way of deciphering how many calories they…

I didn't think it was healthy to go below 1200 calories and I definitely eat my exercise calories.

Having YOU for a boyfriend! :p

I love walking lunges with five to eight pound weights in each hand. I feel it in my hamstrings, quads, calves and glutes!

Where did you hear that? You are definitely building muscle! Protein helps build muscle so keeping up your lean protein while decreasing your calories helps you build and maintain muscle. It is also important to have a little protein before and after your workout to help rebuild the muscle. Sounds like your doing the right…
