I am doing Starting Strength also. A question for OP: What is your ultimate goal with weight training? If you plan on really getting into power lifting, Starting Strength would be excellent. It's a bit of a technical read, but it goes very in-depth on the basic lifts (squat, bench press, deadlift, press, power clean). If…

Height: 5'7" CW: 135 lbs GW: 125 lbs I tend to carry most of my weight on my thighs, which is why I would like to get my weight down so low. However, I am currently working on building more muscle. If I can get my legs to be less jiggly and stay at my current weight--or even gain some weight--I would be perfectly happy.

No problem! :)

Then your poop is toxic too!

If your boobage is on the smaller side, like D cup and under, the UnderArmor bras are awesome! I have a couple of the $25 ones. They keep everything in place very well and have decent coverage. I get my running shorts and shirts on clearance at JCPenny's. They're probably not the best quality ever, but I like them. I…

I love reading these! You are all doing amazingly! :) Mine today was I put on a blouse that zips up the side. When I got it, it was a bit difficult to zip it up all the way. I put it on for the first time in about a month expecting the same zipper difficulty. Nope! It zipped up, no problem! I guess I lost weight from my...…

Simply put: they are boys, not men.

There is also a weight lifting option under cardiovascular exercise, so I log my weight lifting under the cardio section as well.

There could be many reasons why your weight went up. I don't know how much time there was between those two weights for you, so I'll assume it was a week because that's how often most people weigh themselves. It could be that you are retaining water, which can be caused by a very high carb diet or certain supplements such…

Honestly, this is my first month following her calendar. I just finished Insanity a couple weeks ago, so I get what you're saying about the intensity level. Some of her videos, especially the cardio one for me anyway, don't seem very challenging. But most of her videos still challenge me and I'm already feeling the…

My dad died when I was 11. For several years after that I just didn't care about my health or how I looked.

Thanks so much for the very insightful post! I did the 1200 calorie thing for about 2 weeks. I was miserable! I get really grumpy when I'm hungry, so I was basically grumpy the whole time. During the second week I got really cold and couldn't get warm. Everyone else in the room would be complaining about how hot it was and…

This is my first month following her calendar too! I just started today (I was having a rather long 21st birthday celebration this past weekend). I got a time of 9 minutes flat on my first mile, which I'm pretty damn proud of. Also, I used my HRM (birthday present, because I always ask for awesome stuff like that) and I…

Seconded! She has workouts for flexibility, strength, and cardio. She posts healthy and delicious recipes. And I find her to be really motivating!

I think it's actually supposed to be knit but I'm going to do crochet because it's supposed about 100x easier and I'm a total newb. It's the same basic idea anyway, yeah?
-
Awesome! You should post pics if you do!

I'm going to buy myself something from BlackMilk. I don't plan on changing what I eat, except to eat a bit more so that I will be eating at maintenance. I also don't like rewarding myself with food. Food rewards are temporary; clothing rewards are, uh, less temporary. Plus, I will get to show off my GW in some BlackMilk…

I started watching during the 10th Doctor's reign (I started with the 9th Doctor, though)! The 11th and 4th Doctor are my favorites. I'm currently learning how to do half crochet so I can make my own Tom Baker scarf :happy:

@mgarcia843 Yes! @stacw1987 Thanks :)

@mgarcia843 Tell him that he has evil villain facial hair. And it's awesome!

Oh cool. Good to know. I always figured that since snacking all day still leaves me hungry, IF definitely wouldn't work for me. I'll have to try it out!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Awesome.

If Shia LaBeouf gets cast as Han Solo, I will rip my hair out.

One time I had the brilliant idea to use Greek yogurt mixed with curry powder as a condiment on a turkey wrap. Ever since then I use other people's recipes and ideas...

As someone who used to be larger (I was about 200 lbs), I can tell you that some of it is probably jealousy and inability to empathize with your position. When you are larger and unhappy with yourself, you are constantly wishing to have the body of anyone smaller than you. So to hear someone thinner express any kind of…

Ugh. I wish they wouldn't. I think it would be better to do movies about characters that haven't been off the screen for several decades. Harrison Ford is going to be impossible to replace, and I haven't heard of any good candidates to replace Billy Dee Williams yet either. I was hoping for movies about Darth Bane and the…

@aakaakaak Haha. I understand! I'm a big fan of Earl Grey myself; I like to start off my morning by feeling like Captain Picard. The Apple Cinnamon is more of a nighttime thing for me since that's when I start to crave dessert.

Celestial Seasonings has a wonderful Apple Cinnamon herbal tea. It magically tastes sweet without adding any sugar! I drink it all the time when I'm craving something sweet. [ http://www.amazon.com/Celestial-Seasonings-Cinnamon-Apple-20-Count/dp/B000E65OII ]
