Yeah, I need motivation. Doing Stronglifts today, but am pretty tired already. I'm hoping there isn't a big crowd at the gym so I can get it in and get out. I'll be pretty busy the rest of the week, so I need to make sure I really put in work before the 4th of July.

He must have known that someone was going to post this question. Lol. At first, I couldn't lift without my gloves, now I love lifting without them. I feel like a warrior! HAHA.

I have tried morning workouts and it was great having the workout done for the day. Now that my work schedule has changed, I'm already up around 5 ish . Me and mom used to get up at 4 and workout but I was so sluggish and sleepy, but I pumped it on out. Now I go straight to the gym from work on lifting days or home for a…

Where is one of those cool graphics when you need one. AWESOME post! You look great! Confirmation that you don't have to cut out the foods you love and you can still be healthy and look great! Cheers! :drinker:

I would have to say Peanut Butter as well. I was like really. 200 something cals for two tablespoons of Peanut Butter. Outrageous!

Awesome and Amazing! Go you!

When I was in high school a guy was getting loud with me about something and called me "Fat Arms" really loud in the cafeteria. I laughed it off b/c that was the first time he or anyone said anything negative about my arms or about me period, but that comment stuck with me. And now it's my mission to have nice defined arms…

I love super easy super yummy recipes! Can't wait to try!

I am a pscetarian, and my go to products when not eating seafood are: Quorn Meatless Chik' n cutlets, Gimme Lean "Sausage", and Morningstar Vegetarian Burgers. I made meatloaf with the Gimme Lean Sausage (it's been a while since I've had it but t'was good) I made an delicious indian dish with Tasty Bite's Channa…

Love that idea. I usually do some of the challenge of the day exercises in the bathroom. I use the last stall or wait and go to an empty bathroom. Lol. I told a co worker and she did like 30-50 squats in the bathroom yesterday. I also take the stairs during my errands, and try to do chair dips when no one is around.

Amazing job both on weight loss and measurements. Good to hear that maintanence is going well!

Amazing! Especially the part about bench pressing with 45lb plates. Awesome! I'm almost there.

I wasn't and still am not the hugest vegetable fan. However, I have gotten much better at eating and trying new vegetables over the last few years. I have all kinds of seasonings, dressings, and methods to kick of the flavor of my vegetables. Like some have said, just do it! I try to eat my vegetables before the dishes or…

Love the visual. I love Stronglifts. I am about done and looking to modify it some and start over.

Yes! This is very true!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Day has been made! :happy:

Amazing before and afters ladies! I am 5'8 (grew a half an inch since last year...or was it my hair :-) ) and my goal is mostly focusing on losing inches rather than weightloss. I currently weight between 158-161 weekly. I would love to for the sake of numbers to weight 150, but we'll see how it goes as the inches come…

BUMP. Great ideas!

I'm glad someone already gave a testimonial for this recipe. I can't wait to try. Definitely low low carb options, and pizza is my favorite food!

Lots of desk job folk here. Love it. Yes, I workout after work. I'll either hit the gym or a HIIT workout at home or outdoors. You can do it.

I literally did this :noway: when I read the title. This does remind me of the Cauliflower Pizza crust recipe I've seen. Thought about giving it a try, but like someone above said "Why ruin something so good by making it healthy?" Best question of the day! :laugh:

I do exercise during TOM. I do not use pads. I use tampons regardless of if I'm working out. Use whichever is most comfortable for you. I don't get cramps and etc, so it's just like any other day in the gym for me. If I do happen to feel uncomfortable, I can always exercise at home. Exercising during TOM is not harmful to…

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

I'm 5'8. Fluctuating between 158 - 160 lbs. Add me. I'm focusing more on losing inches, but ideally would like my weight to be 150. Add me guys!

I'm so anxious for my next TJ's run. You guys brought up a few items that I have not thought to try and some I haven't found yet. ~Can't Wait To Try~ I have not found the Muscat Champagne Dressing yet! Ugh! Cookie Butter eh?!? Mmm Black Bean & Corn Enchilada Wraps Quinoa Bread Kale Chips ~TJ's Favs~ Veggie and Flaxseed…

I'm guilty of not getting my servings of fruit & veggies all of the time. That is currently what I'm working on. Currently munching on baby carrots.

Taco Bell - Vegetarian Cantina Bowl (sauce on the side), Black Bean Burrito, Nacho supreme - no meat/sour cream Chipotle - Vegetarian Salad - no sour cream, no/minimal cheese, 3 Soft Tacos - no meat Noodles & Co - Small Pasta Fresca Subway - (Haven't tried yet) Chopped Tuna salad I'm hungry! :sad:

Same problem I used to have. I now only take advice from the personal trainers at my gym. They may notice something about my posture or even motivate me to take my weights up a bit. I am doing the Stronglifts program too. At first, I would have guys come over and try to change my routine, think that I can't lift as heavy…

My profile pic shows the bikini I tried on last week. I still have some work i want to do, but I'm still going to rock a bikini this summer!

I'm in!
