I don't see anything wrong with a sports bra + shorts.

That is unfortunately the way most people think they should do when trying to lose weight. Most people don't really want to lose weight but look better with clothes on and off. Like the person above mentioned, your body is like a car and it needs fuel to keep going. Yes - in a sense you should make better food choices…

Some "soulmate". F that guy and I don't mean the good "F". Count your lucky stars

I would continue doing the exercises you are doing now but start challenging yourself. My quads have come a long way after adding basic squats/deadlifts to my routine, adding 5lbs every week. Just a thought.

lol it's water weight probably from the strength training and on set of TOM, relax

Same.

Totally.. I have no appetite whatsoever after running.

I would use the power rack if you don't feel comfortable adding weight and don't have a spotter. You can do whatever you like but I think it's really ignorant to non-squat exercises in the squat rack if the gym is busy. If your gym has a power rack with catches, use that.

For squats from SL, I started with the bar (45lb which was hella light from the beginning) so I added 25 lb plates (to make up 95#). That was challenging enough back the week of Feb 24. For deadlifts, I started at 100#. Haven't been keeping track of the other exercises as much. Today, I squatted 160# 5x5 - Deadlifted 160#…

Keep lifting.. it took three months before I lost lbs. Was stuck at 180 for months, now I've lost 12 "scale" lbs. The inches fell off the entire time though. I don't measure my food with a scale - personal preference. If you really are only eating 1200 a day or even 1500 - up your cals. I eat 2200 a day and I'm 5'6" 172lbs…

My scale barely moved in 60+ days. It finally moved yesterday from 178 to 172.6. My body fat percentage has decreased a ton. On Day 1, I was 183.5lbs. On Day 62, I was 180 I believe. On Day 115 (yesterday) the scale moved to 174. Sorry about the ugly black boxes but MFP don't like photos of thongs even if it's to show…

Strong!!!

^ I remember you from last year.. looks like you've made great progress! Would love to see the current in the same format as the others too :smile:

SQUATS

Yes my dear - 20lbs is all it takes. I wish I saw more stories like yours! You rock and look amazing!!

Almost 4 months progress, I'm 5'6". Kind of gave up on hitting 160lbs as a goal weight as I'm 2-3% away from my ideal body fat percentage (19%) @ Day 1: 181.5lbs, 32%BF 32.5" Waist 38" Hips 36" Navel 23" Thighs Day 108: 177.5lbs, 22.5%BF 29" Waist 34" Hips 31" Navel 21" Thighs

Following Stronglifts and doing weighted/time ab (core exercises) 5 sets of 5 reps. Also do a pyramid on squats and deadlifts to warm up

The calorie difference between beer and whiskey!!!

You got this!!!

You look AMAZING!!!!

:laugh:

Squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts are great. Go HEAVY and don't skip protein!

Time for a new trainer... or even better, do everything yourself!

BMI says I'm overweight and that a "normal weight" would be 154lbs. I'm thinner, stronger today than I have ever been at 120lbs. @ Day 1: 181.5lbs, 32%BF 32.5" Waist 38" Hips 36" Navel 23" Thighs Day 108: 177.5lbs, 22.5%BF 29" Waist 34" Hips 31" Navel 21" Thighs 1st pic is Day 62, 2nd pic is yesterday (Day 107) (image…
