I'm planning to eat a *kitten*-load of Easter eggs. When my kid is in bed so I don't have to share hahahahah!! Thinking of you Court xx

I started with new rules of lifting for women (it's a book). I started super light and slowly built up from there. I record myself lifting to check my form every so often but I'd recommend watching a *kitten* load of form clips - particularly those by folks who know what they're doing like mark rippetoe. Hire a PT for a…

I've been doing SLs since July last year. I've contemplated moving to 3x5 several times but I just love the format and am still making gains every so often. I completed NrOlfw before SLs so I throw in variations of different exercises sometimes and have a great list is accessories that I do as well which I learned from…

Supposed to lift tonight but debating it. Shoulder still not quite right :( I am due for a rest week, going on 9 weeks without a break but I've been smashing some PRs lately and not keen to break the streak!! Aargh!!

Having lost 120lbs myself, I have a wee bit of loose skin. For the past year Ive focused on heavy lifting and reducing my overall body fat - it's helping immensely, but I know there will always be a little loose skin when I bend over etc. lifting has helped for sure! Also, what I thought was loose skin way back was…

Is that the one with the weird containers? Honestly, you're on MFP - its free, just weigh your food and log your calories - make sure you have a deficit between what you eat and burn

This is my latest progress shot. Highest weight was 286lbs (no pic of that unfortunately) First pic: 199lbs Current: around 165lbs I'm 5'9 - heavy lifting changed my life.

Got back to lifting tonight. Feels good Squat 5x5 @150lbs. Bench 5x5 @90lbs. Row 5x5 @105lbs. Lat pull downs Bulgarian split squats Paused front squats

Hey all Taken two days off in a row this week - all those 220lb deadlifts took it out of me on Sunday, plus I have a wee one who is refusing to sleep at night at the moment *yawn*

This is a really great thread - I highly encourage you to read it - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach/p1

Thanks so much @‌m Thanks so much @mistiwestphal I lift heavy weights, eat all the protein, and occasionally run!

Thanks for the nice comment :smile: Basically, you need to take the emotion out of the scale equation - either don't weigh yourself, or weigh yourself daily and don't let it impact you so much. Weight fluctuates daily for any number of reasons - I myself know that my lowest weight is right before TOM and that if I have too…

Difference between those two pics is 18 months - I've been focused on lifting heavy for most of that so only eating at a slight deficit and slow loss
