Thanks for the add! I started Monday - I'll be on day 5 (Workout #3) tomorrow morning. I had some serious DOMS Tues and Wed, but today I feel pretty good! Ready for tomorrow for sure!

Thanks so much @fanncy0626 ! :)

Good morning ladies! (Cross posted from the 20 weeks no matter what thread) I woke up this morning and went to our workout room and busted out the first (of many) StrongLifts 5x5 workout. Feeling good and determined to make this a habit. I strayed from StrongCurves, as 5x5 just seems so much easier, less complicated, more…

Good morning ladies! I woke up this morning and went to our workout room and busted out the first (of many) StrongLifts 5x5 workout. Feeling good and determined to make this a habit. I strayed from StrongCurves, as 5x5 just seems so much easier, less complicated, more time friendly for me right now. I'm thinking maybe…

I have a husband and four sons. They eat what they want. I eat what I want, just less of it. Count calories and stick to your calorie goal. Add in exercise if you'd like. Lose weight. (It really is that simple. Just takes time.)

Right now I'm doing Strong Curves and lifting for more aesthetic goals than for strength, so I'm thinking maybe - for now at least - that lifting first thing in the morning (before eating) might be fine. Only way to know is to try, right? Thank you. Like I said above, my goals are mainly aesthetic right now more than…

:lol: :joy: :lol: :joy: :lol: :joy:

Thank you @psuLemon and @tcunbeliever :)

What do you think about fasted strength training? I'm [finally] starting into lifting regularly and don't normally eat in the morning. Will it make any difference in strength ability or energy if I don't eat until later in the day? Thanks in advance!

I think I definitely need to look into LCHF moreso than keto. Thanks!

@amyinthetardis1231 - Thanks. I think I would do low(er) carb - probably not keto. I just know I can't go THAT low on carbs. I'm a huge believer in everything in moderation. I just have been epically failing at the moderation end of things. :expressionless:

Sending PM now - thanks!

Is anyone here doing low carb? My doctor's new recommendation is as follows: "Discussed with pt BMI. Pt advised to execise daily and to limit desserts, juices, soda, bread and carbohydrates" To be honest, soda I can avoid without any hesitation. I don't really like pop or drink it that often. BUT CARBS? I love pasta,…

Hey ladies! Quick check in: I started Strong Curves last Monday (2/20) - which (for those of you who don't know) follows a 3x/wk schedule (A,B,C), or a 4x/wk schedule (A,B,A,C). I got A done on Monday, and B done on Wednesday, but didn't get anything done since - as my one year old has come down with some virus and has…

I'm on board. [I'm still around everyone - and thanks for letting me in a while back.] I'm [re?] starting Strong Curves today. My husband has agreed to also do a 12 week program (of his choosing) so that we can run it together and keep each other motivated!

Thank you. At this point, I just have to hold on tight and make this as painless as possible for the kids (and myself). Thank you!

Ladies - I do have to apologize for not being on here as much as I should and not working out like I'd planned. I'm going through some major things at home and I'm just... exhausted. I'm so... depleted. :disappointed: I'm sorry!

I got partial workouts in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday last week. No strength training so far this week. :( Have been getting a lunch walk in each day for 25-30 minutes, so at least I'm doing something. Going to try to make some time to work out at home tonight. Wish me luck! lol

Yesterday I completed a partial workout of a modified version of workout B. Wednesday 1/18's Workout BW Foot Elevated Single Leg Glute Bridge 3 x 10 Lying Lat Press 3 x 13 BW Step Ups 2 x 10 Standing Press (with large paper towel roll) 3 x 10 BW Good Morning 3 x 10 Sidelying Clam N/A - didn't get done. Crunches N/A -…

Strong Curves!

I also weigh daily. As long as the overall trend is downwards, I'm good. :)

A loss at the during TOM is always good. Way to go! :flowerforyou:

Yeah - I'm a little spreadsheet crazy. :lol: Thank you - I'm sure you're going to have a loss as well. Aunt Flo is always messing things up for a week or so. :wink:

I'm a total spreadsheet nerd too. I have a spreadsheet that tracks my weight and graphs it, tracks my measurements and graphs it, tracks my TDEE, and one that tracks weekly changes and one that tracks monthly changes. LOL - as well as my workout spreadsheets... It's insane. lol :lol: Also, I just got over my TOM and…

Thanks @fanncy0626 :) And thank you @klove808 :) Yesterday I completed 1 set of a modified version of workout A to make up for missing Monday's workout.
