EEEEWWWWW!! I love plain ol' water, but some water you get at restaurants tastes horrible. I have recently switched from lemon wedges to those Dasani "flavor enhancing drops"

I don't have regularly planned cheat days, but there have been moments of weakness where I over indulged. When this happens, I just eat less over the next few days to "pay back" those calories.

Sorry... Overhead press

New to lifting. In my 4th week of StrongLifts. Squats: 100 lbs OHP: 45 lbs (I suck at this) Deadlift: 135 lbs Pendlay rows: 75 lbs Bench press: 65 lbs (I suck at this one too)

*raises hand*

I lift 3x a week (M-W-F). When I first started, I was so sore, I could barely move, let alone walk. One day of rest between lifts (sometimes 2) is plenty. Once you get to the gym and get warmed up, you will feel much better. Work through it, as your body will adapt over time. Never wait for the pain to go away before you…

Indifferent when it comes to other people. On me, however, I hate them! Sadly, I tan very easily and can't avoid them. :grumble:

Calories don't exist on one's birthday. Enjoy!! ...in moderation.

There is no right or wrong. I depends on which one you end up liking more. I started with New Rules and found I couldn't complete it because I got terribly bored with it. To me, it seemed more complicated than it should be. I probably feel this way because I'm the type of person who likes things simple. StrongLifts is…

Definitely looking to be fit by 40! Got 10 months to make it happen. Feel free to add for support and motivation :flowerforyou:

M-W-F: Stronglifts (50 minutes) + Deadmill for "cool-down" (2 miles) Tu-Th-Sa: 3-7 mile walk (depending on weather, 1-2hrs)

This is where I would tell him to go pound sand. Then go to the gym and lift something heavy. Put it down. Repeat.

40C/30F/30P But since doing more weight lifting, it's been looking more like this: 30C/30F/40P

I've had broccoli. I've had cauliflower. I've even had brocco-flower. But what the heck are these things?!

Safe!! Oh, wait... I was never on your FL in the first place. :sad:

I saw your success story the other day and was quite impressed by your transformation. This view you have on younger people and their success not being so impressive (to you) however... Not so much. Your high and mighty stance now that you look better leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Make YouTube your best friend. Search Rippetoe for proper form. Search StrongLifts or Starting Strength for a good place to start.

I'm not a hater. I have quite a few friends who are doing or have done some type of BB workout. They have all said that they are seeing results. The closest I've ever come to "paying" for a workout was when I purchased the book, "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". I am currently doing StrongLifts. It's FREE (if you don't…

Just moved FROM Phoenix area about 3 months ago back home to Denver. Does that count?

Starvation mode

I just inhaled 3 fresh, warm, Krispy Kreme glazed donuts this morning. No regrets. Yet.

I wish I had thought to do a search on MFP for women and StrongLifts before I tortured myself with over 200 pages of testosterone! Thanks for putting this together. Now I can refer back to this, instead of trying to wade thru all that manliness to refresh my memory when I need it.

Lulu + Brooks = Good to go

Me, personally, no. But I applaud anyone who goes. And a standing ovation to anyone who sticks around for a while.

A piping hot cup of Starbuck's coffee with creamer :drinker:

Watermelon and pickled jalapenos (but NOT together, tho) :laugh: I would go out and buy the biggest seedless watermelon I could find, cut it in half, and dig in with a spoon. I also craved pickled jalapenos, but would only eat it in a salad, and there had to be more jalapenos than lettuce, or it was no good!

The fact that you are a moderately active young male would lead me to believe your BMF is pretty accurate. I woke up this morning with a burn of 558, but I am also a female, who is 20 years your senior, and I am pretty sedentary outside of the walks I take for exercise. The more you use it, the more accurate it becomes, as…
