Caloric deficit through cutting food or working out plus muscle building of some type...best scenario.

Why is peanut butter so high in calories and delicious?

Tincanonastring has an enviable beard...

So my heart is breaking a little bit that so many people are completely unaware of the Law of Conservation of Matter...exactly where did people THINK fat went? :'(

can cross my legs...

My dog snoring and farting in her sleep...

I like to poke dead things with a stick...I think that counts. Also looking to lose 15-20 and maintain.

I don't have pictures of my butt...but I have been a weightlifter for years and have always had a nice round butt...at my highest and lowest weights. I have always focused on big lifts...squats and deadlifts. Stair climbing and lunges (but lunges are rough on the knee). If you hike, go uphill whenever possible and stand…

Just want to say that heavy lifting will help this...

I've been absent from here, but still lifting...I promise. Also added running in because I'm a glutton for punishment (actually I just want to be able to eat more ice cream...). I don't really think it counts as running...it really is more like bouncy-walking I refer to it as "wogging." :huh: My goal is a 5k in under 40min…

I've been absent for a minute...last week sucked big donkey parts...so far this week is not much better, but at least this week I have already gotten in an A and B workout. Today was B upped my weight on squat/deadlift to 70 and my OHP to 50. Feel pretty good. Blew through all 5 sets plus warm up in 25 minutes and got in a…

B for me today...in an attempt to make gains at smaller weights I am trying to add reps, so I did 5,7,9,7,5 today for everything. 45 for OHP, 65 for squat and DL. half mile of intervals, 2 mile walk, hour of gardening and half hour of soccer with kids...:drinker:

Love your dimples...your hard work is so obvious! You are beautiful.

Workout A today. Upping my weight, but I probably shouldn't have. I did 4x5x55 for bench and rows, but after my fourth set of rows, my wrist hurt so bad that I deloaded and did a set of 10 at 50 for both. Also 5x5x65 for squat...as low as I can get which is not ATG, but I hold high bar and I am well below parallel. Ran a…

SPORTS bra! I like target's champion brand, the one without adjustable straps. Also I got some cotton ones at walmart...they are no good for running and jumping, but they work for lifting. Before children, I would have bruises on my shoulders...even with a sports bra. So editing to say, even with nursing two babies I am…

I always thought ATG meant *kitten* to grass...deep as you can get.

Had a similar experience but with sprint intervals and my quadriceps. It hurt like heck. I stopped running for a week and then warmed up ALOT and did some slow sprints (if you can do those) before I hit top speed. No problems this past week, but I am still wary. It sucked and I don't want to backslide more after my wrist…

So is it weird that I carry one in my purse? :blushing: (but not to the gym...)

Fit you are my new hero... your numbers are similar to mine when I was 17 with no injuries and plenty of time to workout when I wanted to! Katro I used a similar pyramid to gain in strength, but up OR down not both...you are a beast! Krok the running...I know why runners don't smile. And so do you...:grumble: So the quick…

What you need is a nice bloody nose to remind you to keep your hands up! I didn't protect my face at first either, and then WHAM...hurts like the ****ens and bleed all over. I never forgot afterwards! (Even now when I argue one hand comes up!):blushing:

Workout B for me...upped my weight on deadlift but not OHP. My wrist is still "tweeky." So... OHP 2x5x45, 3x8x45 Squat 2x5x55, 3x8x55 deadlift 2x5x55, 3x8x55 My first and last sets were short sets and concentrated on breath, timing and form. Also ran intervals for a mile: 200s, 100s and 50s. I have a headache and sore…

Brave soul...I always took out my lens when I sparred. IT doesn't hurt as much if you can't see them coming. :wink:

I was legally blind. To correct my vision, the Dr had to remove a large amount of my cornea, and now my left eye is very thin. My right eye is fine, but how do you tell an opponent "you can punch me in the face, just avoid my left eye please?" lol. I miss the challenge and haven't quite found another sport to take it's…

I'm the one driving! :laugh:

So after weeks of careful lifting to start the strength building in my wrist after rehab, I finally increased my weights. 5x5x50 for bench 5x5x50 for rows 5x5x55 for squat...I actually did sets of 10 for sets 2-4. Trying to keep up strength and not hurt myself again. Last set I did 2 count up and 2 count down for each…

I have been out of concession for a minute. I was sick and then I went on a short vacation to see a close friend and FL and this week I finally got two days in the gym. I am back at 45 pounds for everything because I took two weeks off and my wrist was sore on vacation. BUT, am really working on form. My squat has never…

With my first pregnancy I lifted to 6 months. When it started to feel hard I stopped, but I had been lifting for over ten years at that point. Stopped lifting until this past year...unless you count babies and small children and some large children...

I was going to say Applebottom jeans as well...or I have pretty good luck with Lucky brand (no pun intended). Usually I get stretch denim as well do accommodate the moving I do with little kids as well as my ample lower body.

OP-you obviously have no clue how beautiful you are, but I bet the sister in law does...and secretly hates you for it, and tries to make herself look better by pointing out the one thing she thinks is wrong with you. Good Christian girl that one is! Definitely a keeper. I have found the stories therapeutic to read. I don't…

+2!!
