You're one to talk, nice new plastics :tongue:

I love how riding sport bike gets clumped in with climbing rope and pull ups! :tongue: :laugh:

aww rats.

I didn't say don't do ab work. I'm just saying compound lifts are ab work. Like I said, "I think some people could use direct ab work". If you're looking to not frig your arms in a particular case, or if you just like doing it, then go for it.

Yeah...you're doing just fine lol.

You have obviously not done a proper heavy standing overhead press. That strengthens my core a lot more then crunches do. With that said, I think some people could use direct ab work. It all depends on what you're looking for. But a lot of these compound lift programs significantly work your core. And can get you abs.

I felt chunky at 130. I looked like the first 2 pics below I went down 10lbs. My *kitten* got less flabby, but I still felt flabby everywhere, not firm. So then I discovered I was going about it all wrong and to stop feeling chubby I needed to do something that promoted LBM instead of just cardio type weight loss. So I…

NO! YOU ARE WRONG! 'Cause I think a construction worker hit a pipe or something. It's been yellowish for 2 days.

Thanks I WAS thirsty for coffee...

in for magic.

Yup, sounds like a pretty normal mom to me. Many of my friends and myself have dealt with the same problem. Your attitude is very different then all of them. I can understand being overwhelmed and feeling trapped and everything else, but calm your tits, she loves you, and she's herself, and doing her thing, you have no…

Think for a second about what kind of attitude you have right now. Perhaps if you started changing she would too.

lol she sounds so much like my mom. Except I think my mom is the greatest in the world. Still can't get her to sit down and talk to me though.

probably goes along the lines of what the OP said: I love her, I try to help her, make her eat healthy things like vegetables, I try to do the dishes and help her get rid of garbage and get her help when she needs it. And she gets mad. You know, without all the pages of hate talk. I remember being young. My pages of rants…

Sounds like she's a pretty regular average run of the mill mom. If my mom wanted to do my dishes, I'd let her! Even if it meant she'd start throwing out my garbage that I was going through to get rid of.

I didn't get treated like crap for my weight. And I was never particularly large. I've also had to deal with problems before (surprise, many of the people giving you advice have been in similar situations). But I am sure you will get many good helpful responses now after calling everyone fat jerks. This is not how adults…

...many people don't lock their doors. And they do it because they think they'll be happier doing it. They don't go around putting posts on the internet saying how angry they are and that they blame everyone in the world that may break into their house. I've had people break into my house while I was home. I keep deadbolts…

This doesn't seem like you're to nice. And you should eat your vegetables...Acting like everyone else is a problem isn't the way to go. No it's not easy dealing with stalker mother stuff...but you'd be in a lot happier mind set if you were in a healthier mind set...and maybe then you'd be able to figure things out or deal…

3rded for stronglifts 5x5. It's available for free online. It's short and consists of 5 reps (heavy lifting) for 5 sets. The reason many people pick progressive overload like the above mentioned is because it works very efficiently to firm the body. I threw cardio and high rep stuff out the window after I figured that out…

That really sucks, and I really wish you didn't have to experience any of that. But the thing that causes obesity is eating to much. Not sugar, carbs, or mothers. People have been through much worse, and have a very different perspective then you do, and are not looking to blame things on others. Not that I can't…

All I can say in a very generalized manner is a lot of pcos suffers find that lifting weights and improving their lean body mass helps allot when it comes to losing weight, also protein is very important (which is much higher then the numbers listed on this site) and high calorie restriction can suppressed an already…

I don't have any problems with just regular sugar but I've also tried some flavor alternatives, which maybe you'll deam as your healthy: honey stevia berries cinnamon almond milk (even though I usually get the no sugar added) milk (has sugar) chocolate protein powder extras of various sorts flavored coffee

YES!!!! This exactly. I wasn't that heavy when I started here...And I guarantee you I'd drop dead if I tried to outrun someone who had a healthier lifestyle. I felt like a piece of unhealthy wheezy crap. And then I'd get harassed because I didn't lose weight. And I felt way better when I did. But with that said I wish…

I was a lifting hater and a cardio hater. The more I did cardio the more I liked it (depending on what it was). Arthritis was a beep with that though. The more I did lifting the more I liked it. And heavy lifting got rid of a lot of my health problems, and solved all my firming problems as well when cardio kept me rather…

Everyone has different opinions. What kind of advice are you expecting? Some will think you are thin, some will think you are not. I don't think asking which people do will bring you closer to a solution. We don't know how you feel, either. Personally, I started at your weight, and I was taller, and I wouldn't want to be…

Thanks! And no need to be jealous, you are looking pretty damn fab yourself. I didn't have boobs until I was in my mid 20s, so there is still hope for you yet :tongue: Exibit "AA" Regardless, all the people I have seen who have worried about losing their boobs over exercise end up look so much better in the smaller version.

I cannot say this enough times. But this, this this this this...etc

I weigh myself allot, and my clothes do not weigh several pounds so that part not causing a change I'm not concerned with. When you switched it to lbs did you move it to a different part of the floor? If you get on the scale with several second increments inbetween and it fluctuates by several pounds...Your floor is not on…

It's like a cardio program lifting teeny weights. Really good for endurance and creating a calorie deficit, while adding a teeny bit of resistance. There are many programs like it. Look up HIIT (High intensity interval training). There are many others. I did Spartacus (available in mens health magazines). They are usually…
