I definitely would like to learn more about Vitamin D. Some people swear by the results of before their deficiency and after correct doses of Vitamin D.

Well, technically web md told me i was dying.... but i learned a long time ago to not listen to Web MD.

in all seriousness now... just a regular doc, or injury specialist?

Good advice!

Web MD has told me heat/ice. :) joking.

I definitely believe this is probably the case. the bruising is located on my outer arm & bicep. I have one arm that is weaker than the other and pushed out one too many reps before that particular arm was ready.

Aldi's has gluten-free cookie mix, baking mix, brownie mix, muffin mix... all types of things. I cannot use all of their gluten-free items because my son has anaphylaxis to other ingredients in them, but have used Cherrybrook Farms cookie mix.

My son has MULTIPLE food allergies, and is currently awaiting testing for celiacs, leaky gut, and collitis in his intestines. He's 3 and has SPD so he is a VERY picky eater. If you have an Aldi's near you..... THIS WILL BE YOUR FRIEND.... they have an organic line and a gluten free line. Few recommendations elsewhere: The…

Unfortunately I think it was more of a 'pushed myself through a rep too many'. Everything online generally says heat, ice and anti-inflammatory is all unless it is bad enough needing surgery. I think/hope it will heal... its day 4.5 of after-rest and the bruising is almost faded gone. Afraid to risk it.

I do carry him and lift him often (he is 50lbs), and have carried him his entire life. I owe a lot of my forced strength to him. ;P I am 157-158 and 5'9. I have a body fat percentage of about 27 I think last time I checked.

i will throw up if i eat pre-workout. I work out in the evenings, and drink an amino acid complex drink before-hand, but usually eat dinner right after lifting.

have you tried using dumbell lunges instead of barbell if the bar is too heavy? Builld up to it.

Bump... I am almost exactly where you are! I was 133 last year, and had gained 30lbs. I am currently 157 with a goal of 135 (5'9).

I actually didn't know there was a name for this? I have just recently begun lifting, and this is how I have been doing it. Bench press set 1, Curls Set 1, Shoulder raises set 1, Shrugs set 1, squats set 1, Deadlifts set 1... Rest for 2-3 minutes and then do two more sets in this same order.. Now I am curious how others…

Thank you everyone, and thank you for the link.

so fit all 1200 or whatever calories into the remaining 8 hours? Is that where your body tries to metabolize it all after not recieving fuel, therefore making your metabolism speed up?

do you know how long of a fast? Ive gotten conflicting answers when I searched for that the other day.

Your body looks perfect shape! very lean, and toned!

What type of weight lifting do you do? I am a single mom work full time desk job, and have absolutely no way to excercise except at home. (My son has alot of auto immune issues and he is too big for a jogging stroller.)

You look AMAZING!!! very beautiful!

Can you post a link to the forum? I didnt find it.

i am portion controlling... not weighing but adding calories by the amount/size... and am not eating over 1200. i lost the weight by eating less than 1200 last time.. yes i know.. not the healthiest... but then i over ate for many months and gained weight back... started clean eating 1200 cals per day and still no…

ive been giving it a few weeks now... i guess is that not enough time to see anything shifting? i dont know how much time to give before deciding that what i am trying is not working for my body so i need to change something else.

Thank you... being an FA mom is a difficult task, as you do know. I know that elliminates alot out of my sons diet and my diet as well since i cannot have eggs, protein drinks, certain legumes, no nuts, wheat gluten, barley, rye, oat, etc. etc. etc. the list goes on and on... so for both of our sakes, i think me eating…

Good jobs guys!

try paleo recipes... packed full of vegetables and other different meats... the rule of thumb would be if a caveman could eat it, then its good to go. i made single serve ground turkey meat loaves 2 weeks ago that were AMAZING... and paleo... no egg, no dairy, only meat and veggies.

Thank you for the responses yall! I actually was hoping by switching some thing sup to Paleo would help my son. He has anaphylaxis to multiple foods including eggs, nuts, dairy, wheat, rice, barley, rye, vanilla extract, oat, etc. from what i've seen, Paleo meal choices give a way to add alot of vegetables that i normally…

Awesome Transformations guys!

I agree with llamapants86's post... I actually had that happen to me, I did not lift while loosing most of my weight I wanted to, and in turn I lost muscle mass because I was not strength training/lifting.. and it is much harder to rebuild muscle than it is to lose it. I think the word is called "Skinny-fat", where you are…

i never knew what NSV meant until reading these comments just now.. so it was not a dumb question. :)
