Thanks all. I just have a layer of fat. I think maybe when I reach the weight I was a few years ago I would start showing. Hopefully.

I had a small neighborhood gym with all the essentials and only $10/month. I got kinda bored after two years and needed a change of scenery and I'm now at LA Fitness $30/month, any location, and more equipment to explore if I get bored. If your gym doesn't have much weights to challenge your body then you might get bored.

Hated planet fitness especially their motto. I been there a few months. P.s you can get out at any time at LA fitness. Don't know why initiation is so high.

I'm fine with the one I pay and it's only $10/month and I guess it's better because it's close to home and on the way from work.... Guess I'll think about it. I rarely do classes at the last fancy gym like the one I was at few years back. but they sure do smell way better and not like BO! But I got everything I need and…

Actually never mind. The plan Isn't the issue. I don't know which gym I should stick with. My current gym: 5 min drive from where I live $10/month Has everything i need Cons: Not fancy Not as much squat racks just 1 I don't have to wait for it much...it's usually only horrible during new years resolution No classes but no…

It's a few cents difference if you calculate by a year with initiation and monthly plan but I'm still indecisive lol

lol funny you mention it. They said I was trying to make them feel bad but I joked and said, "sure that's not your guilt?" I get along with them great but im just annoyed with the put down lol other than that we all cool.

[/quote] How was I judgong them? I joined but then de iced for my own good I didn't want to and then got made fun of each time I say no. Sometimes they even buy r anyways because they think it's funny to tempt me

Lol sucking up and going!! Omg I hope it ain't painful

I took a few days off. Glad I did but feel guilty. I just stayed home, drank lots of tea, soups, and tested. I felt my body aching and sleepy... I think if I were to work out it wouldn't be worth it cuz I wouldn't be motivated.

It does work but to be honest I don't know competitors that use it because I don't know if it affects the small things. Look up timberwolf and josef rakich, they preach iifym and are shredded

Thanks, I was hoping you guys would say that lol. Now I can feel less guilty ;)

No, we can rescind offer considering we haven't given her paperwork to sign and just verbal conditional offer...I mean I understand to be disappointed but I would have never give an attitude to someone hiring me! The lady that's mean makes tons of mistakes that I notice only I'm not allowed to point it out since she's…

Thanks guys, I feel bad for her...I just feel guilty even though I know it's not a big deal. But on another note, she had to make us wait another month because we waited for her to move, get situated, and transfer her state licensure. I notice myself making mistakes a but more often due to stress. This lady at work for…

How they market themselves is horrible. Not only that but they offer pizza and bagel nights with free candy EVERYWHERE! They're lacking a lot of gym necessities for people serious about lifting but for people that just want to stay healthy it's good.

Eating slightly above maintenance I have always thought was considered bulking.

Yeah, it was hard to take a pic myself..lol I'll try to get a clear pic from my bf soon

Is anyone able to click?

Fixed it.

That's what I thought if you could see separation... lol so it's a 4?

Yeah it's probably me moving too fast on heavy weights. It just sucks because I know I can lift it but I guess my ligaments aren't "ready". I'll probably lift it at a certain weight until I feel it's not AS challenging and go up rather than "Oh I can do this, I should UP it next rep!" Knee ain't hurting no more now lol

Doesn't hurt when I lift and it's not extreme. It'll be like a day or two after and I'll feel it when I'm doing nothing. Doesn't hurt with pressure

I think maybe it was the deadlifts. I worked out back yesterday. Never had issues but for some reason odd knee pain today. I think rapidly increasing weights strained me so I've been trying to lower weight and just focus on form and the burn I've been working out for 5 weeks but I'm not a newbie!! I've lifted on and off…

Thanks. I was getting frustrated for a while not seeing differences.. Is it me or is it weird that my upper abs flare out like that and my bottom has barely any definition? It looks like it goes from wide to skinny... Like I can se a 4pack coming in if I cut more but not a 6

Lol definitely not in thanksgiving. And on Saturday I had the worst day ever eating nachos, beer, chips, fried chicken....I felt terrible and swore I gain weight. But went back to cutting and several days later weight dropped...

Well she eats other stuff but when it comes near competition she just eats that idk y just that lol

I'm not complaining for eating more!! :@)

Bf said it doesn't look any smaller but I swear I lost a bit of junk in the trunk =\ lol oh well.. I can always try to build it back and BETTER when I decide to increase mass ;) haha

Yeah I agree about body composition being important. I try measuring my waist, navel, below navel...and other parts of body but more so concentrate on my stomach area. I don't think I can move my waist down anymore, it's always been 27 since I was younger even at 110 lbs. Maybe my belly has a inch or so to move down…

I'm serious here. I haven't seen the number 120 since last winter. My stomach is getting smaller but bad news is my butt lost some too >_< lol
