Isolate. Okay!!! I'll look into this!! Wow, thank you so much for the advice!! I'm excited. Which I realize makes me a loser. PS...I am always a little gassy (lol) from protein in general. Husband has gotten used to it. Haha!!!! But never to the extreme of that whey. :) Just checked the container...it's concentrate.
-
aww, i wish you could send me scoops of yours too! :) it was pure protein brand from target. i bought a tub of raw meal (vegan) powder. it was EXPENSIVE as heck and only has about 1/2 the protein as the whey, it was on sale so i tried it. it tastes fine and doesnt seem to bother my system...but doesn't seem worth buying…
-
so, wait...designer whey doesn't screw up your insides?? this is TMI but i quit protein shakes (whey is all I think I can afford, lol) because i seriously was so gassy my husband was ready to leave me. and i was literally pooping only once a week!!! even with loads of fiber. should i try designer whey?? i'm scared. haha..
-
You have all just described me perfectly!!!!! UGH!! Starbucks, I love to stress shop! I have NO MONEY right now so can't...haha...wish I had more money b/c I'd rather shop than eat. :)

The big compound lifts work my core a lot! Squats and deadlifts. I also do decline push-ups...killer ab workout. I also used to (need to pull it back out) the Insanity Ab dvd. It's really good!
-
feel free to add me so you can see my food diary. i hit my protein numbers without shakes/bars...i'm not against them, i just haven't had to use them. be careful with low carb protein powders since they use artificial sweetners, hence the low carb. not everyone cares about that, but just in case you do. :)
-
Mainly because the food that I binge on tastes so damn good!! I'm never satisified when eating junk, so I just keep wanting more and more...so I just keep having more and more. I tell myself I usually do so well, what harm will more of ____ do. Just a little more, just a little more...until I'm up to 3000 calories for the…
-
i guess since i'd be doing them INSTEAD of normal squats, it would be for strength increase?? but i'm not exactly sure. at this point i'm looking to decrease body fat, not necessarily gain more muscle. so, yeah, i'm not sure. :)
-
really??....isn't that so interesting that we find them so different!!??? i run hills, so have strong hamstrings...is it possible to be "hamstring dominant" so they take over most of the work and let my quads do less work? and now that you said that goblets are brutal i am DYING to try them tomorrow morning!! lol.
-
yes!! glutes and quads i feel SO MUCH less with hack, which is why i'm venturing into goblets...i cannot join a gym and we are moving in july/august and then we'll have a basement so i can hopefully find a squat rack on craig's list. in the meantime...do you think goblets will better work glutes/quads???? assuming i don't…
-
I started with front squats, then moved to hack once my power cleaning (if you can call it that, lol) was too weak to get the bar up there. :) hmmm....now i'm wondering since my upper body strength has improved, maybe i can front squat again. hmmm... how does your goblet weight compare to your front squat weight?
-
I do Strong LIfts...and we are already friends so feel free to check out my diary!! :)
-
each new month i tell myself i'm gonna start jumping in on this thread more but i always get so behind!! LOVE THE TITLE!!! hahahahaha!! awesome!
-
I do different days...unless it's walking, then I do same day. My legs are dead after lifting in the morning, I can't run or do anything like that on the same day. Heck, sometimes not even the day after! But I guess everyone's body repsonds differently. :)
-
just copying and pasting from my first attempt. :) not snacking on junk is proving to be pretty hard too!!!! Haha.
-
Sure! I'm up for anything! I don't have any ideas though. :)
-
I am loving the super set idea as a time saver!! Thanks! Are others in agreement that I should add more deadlifts and OHP...before I trust this Homer Simpson guy. ;)
-
I've been doing this routine for 3 1/2 months now. I have to run to a meeting, but I will definitely look into your suggestions when I get back. Keep them coming! While i have seen good results from my current routine, I wanted to check to make sure I wasn't leaving something out or doing too much of something. Thanks so…
-
you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! talk a brisk walk??? diet soda??? (helps me but i know can trigger others) play on MPF message boards for a while until the horrible terrible urge passes? you can absolutely do this!! i believe in you!
-
i've got 120 pounds of weights, not counting the bar weight...haven't used the dumbells yet. they are the kind that you put weight onto.
-
It does?? Yay! :) Thank you. I'll try the goblet squats, they look interesting...maybe on Wednesdays instead of hack? Mix it up a bit?

I'm happiest outside...at the playground w my kids, on a walk or run or hike. When I binge I'm completely unhappy. I might start off happy bc I'm enjoying the yummy food. But then I'm out if control. I feel sick and do disappointed in myself. Then I feel guilty in the morning. Then it lingers bc I know binging affects my…
-
you're welcome to friend me! my diary is only open to friends b/c a few times people from the message boards would give me "pointers" when i didn't ask for them. lol. i aim for a gram of protein per pound of body weight (ends up being about 35%ish) and 25%ish fat. only look since april 22 and then before march 15. i took a…
-
omg...me too!!! it's GREAT in some ways, but STINKS in others. my body reacts so quickly to what types of food i feed it.
-
Yay! First month doing this for me. :) I'll take measurements to post tomorrow, then every Wednesday I guess. I'm also going to track weight as I'm trying at this point to maintain not add muscle and lose body fat...guess I'm cutting. So I'm expecting my weight to go down.
-
I do not think that I am an inspiration, but I do find my motivation from within. There isn't someone I want to look like or someone I'm trying not to look like or a health scare inspiring me. I just want to look the BEST i can look. And binging is certainly not helping. Lol.
