After feeling triumphant when I fit into size 6... Me: Mom, I just fit into a size 6! I can't believe it! Mom: Honey are you okay? You're not anorexic, are you?

A few weeks into 35.

I usually eat most of my exercise calories. I've been counting calories for almost two years, more or less (except when I was bulking for about 4 months). For awhile, I calculated my calories at sedentary and then ate back the calories (I didn't use MFP's calculation) and now I'm at TDEE-17%, and with TDEE the exercise…

None of this bothers me but it would be nice if the guys at my gym would rack their weights once in a while. There's nothing like nearly tripping over a bunch of plates around the squat rack to warm you up for your first set.

I used to feel this way a lot. I was only a B cup to begin with but I've lost a cup size and after two kids, they kind of just hang there. My tummy is flat but the loose skin on my lower tummy doesn't look so hot and I know there's not much I can do about it short of surgery. BUT I lift heavy and other parts of my body are…

^^^ This. I'm 5'4 and 140, too and I wear a size 8 -12 in jeans depending on the brand/style. The dress slacks I wear to work are a size 6. I started out as a size 14 when I was 161. By the time I went to buy some new pants, I was a size 8.

I work out six days a week, too. Strength training 3 days, cardio 3 days. Add me if you like.

This. An old boyfriend of mine got me into weightlifting in college and he always said pulling the weights on and off and putting them away is part of the workout.
-
All the above. Well, except # 4 if it's within my calories, I'm going to eat cake and ice cream. I know that doesn't work for some but it works for me.

Thriller: Stories to Keep You Up All Night. It's a collection of short stories by thriller authors like Lee Childs, James Patterson, etc.

Hi everyone. I'm a mom of a 3 year old girl and a 7 year old boy. I'm married to a wonderful guy who makes it possible for me to work out 6 days a week. I work full time (and so does he) so my workouts during the week are early in the morning (at the gym by 4:30 home by 6 am) before the kids are up, usually.

Didn't think about my core and since I don't do an ab workout or anything, I'll guess I'll stick it out a little longer withoutt a belt. 175 and 190 is amazing. I was struggling with 120 on squats. I can't imagine squatting that much but if you and other women can do it then I don't see why I can't (eventually). Thanks for…

My deads and squats are both at 115 and I'm going up 5 lbs on squats tomorrow. There were a few times that I didn't increase on my deads and squats caught up (started at 65 for deads when I first started with Stronglifts and bar for squats). Since my sister hurt her back (not from lifting) and there is not much that can be…
-
^^^This. I get up at 4 AM, too but it is easier for me since I am a morning person. I've have a 7 and 3 year old, too. For my husband's sake, I'm usually finished working out before the kids even wake up in the morning (except Sundays). You just get up and do it. If you think about it too much, you'll talk yourself back…

Wasn't he a WWE (WWF back in the day) wrestler?

^^^This. Not that I had much to work in the first place but now...:cry:

SW: 145 CW: 147.8 :( TOM and a lot of extra stress at home and work last week GW: 130 I wasn't really successful this week. There was just too much going on and I was happy if I just stayed under my calorie goal for the day, which some days I didn't. Sigh. Hopefully, this week will be better. To get the first challenge out…

Checking in! SW: 146 CW: 145 GW: 130 I managed to drink 10 glasses of water a day, for 6 of the 7 days. I was under my calories for 6 of the 7 days. The new exercise I did this week were side planks. I've done regular planks, never tried the side ones.

1. I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit, even the clothes I wore in college are loose now. 2. Don't need control top pantyhose anymore. 3. No muffin top when I wear jeans.

I'm in for 15! I'm so excited, my first challenge!

^^This. I know my hubby just wants to make me happy when he buys me a cannoli from the his favorite Italian deli but he knows I have little willpower when it comes to sweets. Though he is better about asking first before buying something, I think he would prefer if I were back to my old habits. I'd be a lot less annoying…

Right now Keith Urban's For You from the Act of Valor soundtrack for running and Gravel Pit and Triumph by the Wu-Tang Clan when I lift.

I hand not been this sore since Stage 1. BWM kicked my *kitten*! 2 minutes 15 seconds first go round, then 3 minutes, 33 seconds the second time. I just finished my first workout B and I found that one a lot easier, except the YTWL,that was pretty tough. An hour and 45 minutes for workout A and about 2 hours for workout B.…

This. I use albuterol to pretreat, too though I know that's not what it's for but I tend to have problems breathing if I don't pretreat. What about allergies? This was a problem for me when I ran outdoors and the doctor gave me med for my allergies and that helped a little. Definitely see your doctor and tell them what you…

Wasn't a huge fan of Stage 2 but at three days a week it flew by. Looking forward to starting Stage 3, which was supposed to start on yesterday but I'm nursing a pulled calf muscle and will get back in the gym on Monday. God, I miss working out and it's only been a few days.
-
This, definitely. I'm a lawyer so if I'm not sitting at my desk, I'm sitting in my car or sitting in court. I workout in the morning, usually getting to the gym around 4:45 during the week and 6:00 AM on Saturday with the goal to get back before anyone wakes up. I completely agree that preparation is the key to…

Chocolate chip cookies. My husband bought one of those cookie dough rolls you can cut up and bake (I swear he's trying to sabotage my efforts, he knows I can't resist these) so when he bakes some for the kids, I make some adjustments in my calorie intake for the day so I can have a few. Won't even bother trying to fight…

Thanks for this Joe. I did it the hard way and have figured out my TDEE by trial and error. I try to make sure at least 30% of my calories is protein. More trial and error on just how much of a surplus I need to eat. And I will definitely look into the Bodymedia FIT.
