OP you have gotten great advise. Squatting less volume (reps) would probably help and definitely more than once a week. If I miss a week between squat sessions, my legs are killing me the next day. Also working out with doms, helps recovery.... Normally half way through a warmup my legs feel great. I second the question on…

Honestly....... If you are overweight, the answer is probably not. You most likely gained the weight not counting. I have seen a few people on here though that counting caused them to over obsess on food. Maybe try..... A: log your day ahead of time and stick to it. B: watch what you eat (portions) and log at the end of…

I have not read all of the replies...... First OP calm down, I can gain 4lbs (on scale) throughout the day. It is a normal weight fluctuation due to water weight, digestion ect. When you start a new exercise program, your muscles will retain water to help with repairs....you did NOT gain muscle. Gaining muscle is hard for…

Normally I would say that I love that my husband lifts with me.....but today, I want to hit the gym....he says he wants to go, but wants a nap first. So here I sit on MFP while he naps, I could have been done and showered by now :grumble:

Cleveland had the first Arc street light.....Charles F. Brush Highschool home of the Brush Arcs South Euclid/Lyndhurst school district. Unfortunately I know this because well.....view last sentence.

I wish mine had some meaning.....I have a very detailed fine line rose on the inside of my hip bone, pelvic region. One piece of stem suffered a stretch mark during my first pregnancy (got lucky and that was one of two I got). It has meaning due to that but when I hit goal it is getting covered by a custom Koi fish. I will…

If it is just soreness, many times working through it helps the most. On a rest day when sore, try at least just moving around. Sometimes some body weight exercises can help. If still sore on your next gym day, I normally lose all soreness by the time I am done with warm-up sets. If the pain happens during working out,…

See ↑↑↑ More men need to post bum pics :drinker: Very Nice! :flowerforyou: To the weight loss guy........myfitnesspal.com ........please see the bolded word. If you are overweight weight loss is a part of fitness and no you don't need to exercise, but being argumentative on a fun thread that somehow the word fitness in no…

NOT a bad Mom, people get blind to situations that they are in. I am sorry if I ever seemed harsh, but this guy just rang every alarm bell I had. He is dangerous. This sounds like he tortured small animals as a child, WTF is right. Good call on getting your kids and self away from him. I am a little late with my reply....I…

Not under the speed limit, but I have locked a few up with a semi next to me :huh: People are too psychotic, and Iam normally chicken that the one iI piss off is about to snap. I cut a guy off by accident(felt bad, and he didn't even have to brake...just closer than I should of...true blind spot mistake) when I was 20 and…

Have to ask....why not post some nice butt shots? In the women's thread there are always great booty shots. I love a nice chest, but come on guys, women love other "*kitten*"ets :drinker: Also to all the guys in here, fantastic work...you all look amazing :love: To the guy who said....it's a weight loss site not fitness,…

I don't log it, but it is how I get my cardio :drinker:

I had this 2 weeks ago, it was high sodium food for the week.....? Just bloat, plus with your time of month coming you can bloat even if you never noticed or did before. Gaining 1 kg of fat would be over 7,000 calories above maintenance, even the worse estimator couldn't log that wrong.....so not fat :flowerforyou:

Here are some basics to start..... *Log EVERYTHING *Weigh Solids *Measure liquids *Exercise for fitness (weight lifting is my recommendation) *Be Honest with Yourself *Measure yourself, take silly pictures and then enjoy your progress. And............ *****MOST IMPORTANTLY****** READ THIS…

I love when others have manners, I hold doors for people all the time and always use excuse me, please, and thank you. As far as chivalry, I love when a man is a gentlemen and never assume it's a sexual advance or that he is somehow implying I am too weak. My husband always pumps my gas, holds doors, orders my drinks from…

When I have a party to go to, I normally drink water so I don't drink my calories. As for food, I have very very small portions of everything I want. Doing this I get to have everything and do not feel like I did without, it also fills me up. The other thing is people don't look at you as funny. Condiments can be the worse…

There was a thread in the last few weeks of a woman having issues with hers because of weight loss. Dropping, unevenness, and rippling....I didn't even know they could ripple. No personal experience but maybe a lady on my FL, or at least it was bumped. If I find the thread I will post a link. Not to scare you, just…

I agree inches matter most, heck they are my main goal :drinker: Different reps do different things, found this and it explains it better than I can.... http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne45.htm 3x10 vs 5x5 just do different things, I can tell you from experience the weight I squat (today 118lb, kinda stuck for now) I…

MFP is ....well here My Fitness Pal. BMR is.....Basal (basic) Metabolic rate, in a nutshell it is roughly what your body needs to live and have proper organ function, pretty much if you were in a coma, it is what the doctors would need to give you. TDEE is....Total Daily Energy Expenditure, what energy you burn daily being…

Bf% scales are very inaccurate, so I would throw that bit of data out (I have one and am a data junky and I ignore it) My husband is lean and 6'-6'1" I think 6'1" but his measurements come back both ways, he weighs 179lb. When he is his best he weighs 172lbs. My brother in law at 6' when he was large built, but also had a…

Honestly not trying to be an *kitten*, but if your manic episodes can keep you awake up to 72 hours.....hasn't your doctor gave you something to calm you as needed ie: xanax or something? 72 hours without sleep can send someone without chemical imbalances off the deep end. To answer your question I would use midnight and…

Some do lift 3*10 but take a look at stronglifts 5x5 or New Rule of Lifting for Women. I wasn't saying your program is bad, just not what many would consider "heavey lifting". An example of a difference... SL 5x5 you do 5 sets of 5 on major compound lifts (dead, squat, rows, overhead, & bench), every workout the weight…

If you are eating on a deficient, you will not gain muscle enough to slow weight loss noticeably. Heavy lifting and any new routine will have your muscles retain water for healing. I looked up the workout you mentioned because I was going to comment that rest days are needed from lifting, but this program seems to be light…

CRUNCHY Any opinion that differs is just wrong, sorry but it is!

Actually after weighing my food, bacon is one of the foods I can have more of now. It has protein and tastes....well it tastes like BACON yum!!!!

Pure alcohol, not really seeing room in my log for solids :laugh: (if we have plans without the kids) Posting as the responsible mother of 2, honestly figure it will work itself out. Memorial day weekend did, if I go over a little...it happens. After I lose the weight I plan on living my life and holidays are part of that.…

Not invisible :flowerforyou: I am not a mini meal person, so it doesn't really effect me. I do think everyone is different and needs to do what is healthy and sustainable for themselves. Interesting read though.

I always answered my girls when they asked, just careful not to give way more info than they want. Our schools also have sex Ed in 5th grade so that will be coming soon if your state does this. At that age my oldest would ask and I would answer, if I tried explaining she just looked at me with a glazed look and said "mom,…

I am thankful for my sanity, after having 3..11 yr old girls at my house for the rest of the week, I am not sure this is something (sanity) I will have come next Monday.
