You rock!

I love all you 3 women so much! I am so proud of each and every one of you!

Great job!! I competed in my first meet at the end of March and it was such a wonderful experience!! Definitely going to do it again!

Hi Toni :) I'm so glad you're here!!! <3 can't wait to bulk with you!

Check out New Rules of Lifting for Women

5'5" CW: 134-136 GW: 130 (coming off of a bulk!) Current lifts: Squat- 145 Bench- 90 DL- 190 OHP- 70 Goal lifts for next 6 months: Squat- 175 Bench- 115 DL-225 OHP-85

This, given that you are 5'1 and 116 with only a couple lbs to lose you're more realistic weight loss target should be half lb per week. Just because you tell MFP you want to lose 2lbs/week doesn't mean you should listen to it... Try finding your TDEE and go from there. I think you'll find you can eat A LOT more and lose…

23 Female 134lbs 5'5" Went to first comp last weekend... Squat: 140 Bench (paused): 90 DL: 190 Next goals: Squat: 175 Bench (paused): 115 DL: 225

18lbs from Mid Sept-Jan 1

I would say you should seek the help of a medical professional to make sure everything is alright with your system. Good luck!

Finally making progress, SLOW, but at least it's something in the right direction... my body doesn't lose like it used to it seems! Then again I haven't had to lose 8-10lbs in a LONG time. I'll hopefully get there before June lol!

I have these: http://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Freedom-Sprint-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0095P2F1S They are AWESOME. They never cut out!! Charge lasts about 4 or 5-45 min workouts

Awesome job, Toni!!! So proud of you!!! xoxo

WTG!!! SO proud of you :)

Bulking is definitely hard, much harder than I thought it would be. I put my weight on REALLY quickly at the start and it seriously freaked me out. The first few weeks were definitely the hardest. It's really a mental game. It did seem to get easier though, I got used to being a sausage. I bulked for about 5 months and…

Way to go Leena!! So proud of you for sticking with it :) You did such a great job and I know what a struggle it was for you!

I personally bulked for about 5 months... I don't think I could have handled it any longer! None of my clothes fit me anymore and I was miserable. That said... I've been trying to cut for a month now and have been basically spinning my wheels. So, I'd keep in mind the weight loss bit after, it's HARD! Harder than I…

Beautifully said <3

LOVE THIS! I'm awful at the forums and reading threads, I never remember to do it! You look great though! Biggest change I see is in your butt! So perky and round :) WTG!

Found this story last week when you first posted it and was totally moved by it. Posted it on my wall for my friends to read. Loved re-reading it today. Keep up the amazing work! You have done SO well thus far!! All the best for the future.

Unbelievable! That is a job well done! Keep it up.

Eggs, chicken, tuna, cottage cheese (quart size), greek yogurt (greek size), brown rice, whey protein powder

1/day M-F :)

Welcome, Diana!!!

Not every country has a drinking age of 21... She lives in the UK where the drinking age is 18.. totally fine and legal for her to go out!

I would say a slight caloric deficit (TDEE-10% perhaps), 1g protein/lb of BW (muscles need it to grow!!), a heavy lifting routine (New Rules, Starting Strength, Strong Lifts), and a lot of patience/persistence. You can definitely do it!
