Has anyone tried freezing the zucchini tots? Would they freeze well?

We'll, I know roughly what my TDEE is and what I need to eat in a day to lose. I read in here in one if the posts that the Charge needs a few days to learn your habits so was wondering if that is part of why it's measuring kinda high right now. I have 27 more days to analyze it and return it if I don't like it, lol.

Ok, I did some googling and apparently 1 of the reasons for not being able to go parallel is inflexibility. Si I'm guessing that is me. So I have to do stretches every day to oven up my hips to allow myself to be able to get to parallel. Boo! There were for reasons for not being able to go parallel...1. you are weak 2. you…

Is it possible to just not be physically able to go very low (butt bellow the knees)? I am not very flexible in my hips and I've been practicing and I'm finding it physically impossible to get lower than the videos I showed. My hips, no matter how far apart my feet are, do not allow my butt to drop lower. I've stretched…

Ah, ok...gotcha! Thanks! I was always so concerned with knees not going over toes.

Ok, thanks so much. I'll try those tips for my next lift. When I was watching videos I thought you were suppose to push your bum back a bit to help so your knees don't go over your toes. I will try not doing that as much and just go down.

After comparing my vidoes with the others, I knew going lower was going to be said. Maybe I'll put a stool under me so I can feel how low I need to go. Thanks for the tips!

So I've been doing strong lifts on and off for about a year...more off than on the past little while unfortunately. I am getting back into it and thought I should get my form checked on my squats and dead lifts to make sure all is good and fix what I'm doing wrong before the weight gets to heavy. I am currently squating…

Love them! :smile:

^^this^^

I was where you are last year...probably weighed a bit more than you though....so i totally understand the whole picture thing and wantng to set a good example for your kids. Over the ast year i have lost close to 60lbs and went from a size 16/18 to a 6. With hard work and dedication, you can make this happen! I always…

I've lost 57lbs. Feel free to add me if you'd like. :smile:

This is what i do too but my speed is at about 8.5-9 sprint and 4 walk with a 1 incline. I do 1 min sprint 1 min walk.

I find I'm like this a few days before TOM starts. It is almost like my body is fueling up for it or something, lol. I ate so much yesterday but also drank a ton of water and then... bam...got TOM today. I'm tired about 4 - 5 days prior too and have no energy for working out but as soon as it comes, everything is back to…

I love these posts, they're so inspirational! Here is mine...started end of April/12. I'm a couple pounds away from goal weight but i'm not focused on that anymore. I'm working towards body fat% and weight lifting now. I'm about 2 months in. Here are my b/a pics so far. Don't mind the stupid smile, my husband was making me…

Yup, true story here to. Exact same except for a 55lb loss. Happy I lost the weight...not happy about losin' the boobs :sad:

I don't wear shoes to weight lift but wear them on my treadmill. I trie the treadmill without shoes and the runner on the treadmill was hard on me feet. Otherwise...I prefer no shoes.

This! I love weighted squats and the rush of adding more weight to the bar.

I do the Strong Lifts 5x5 right now. I like how straight forward it is compared to NROLFW. I have that book too and although I like the exercises/routine, I found it to be a bit complex. I may go back to it at a later time though.

I read and tried the NROLFW and although I liked it, I wanted a simpler program so went with SL 5x5. I may go back to NROLFW later down the road but for now, I'm happy with SL.

Definitely agree with THIS! Strength training helps retain your lean muscle mass as you loose weight.

Doing the stronglifts 5x5 program too and am currently at 110lbs (free weights using a rack) to squat today.

I eat around 1600-1750/day...Some days a bit more. I'm just under 5'3" and currently weigh 137.6lbs. I exercise 5 days/week...3 days heavy lifting/weight training 2 days cardio. I am steadily losing weight but not always weekly. I will sometimes go a week and a half - 2 weeks with no loss and the drop 1.5-2lbs...sometimes…

Just turned 41 here. This site has been a great tool to help me achieve my goals. I'm almost at my weight goal but still working towards my BF% to lower it a bit more. I log in daily, read every one's updates (although I don't always comment on them, I do read them and get inspiration from them every day) and go through…

M/W/F - strong lifts 5x5 T/Th - cardio...usually running on the treadmill doing either HIIT or just a straight run depending on my mood. Sometimes will do a video. Sat - rest/optional cardio...to I do cardio if I skipped one of my T/Th sessions. Sun. - rest day

I measured it to the 4.22 ounces as well...still looks like more than half a cup.

Ok, I don't know what is with this frozen yogurt but I measured again in grams and it still is more than 1/2 cup. My scale measures fine for everything else but this damn frozen yogurt must be whipped or extra fluffy or something. I've been logging it as more just to be on the safe side but wtf?

I do have a food scale...which is why I said when I measure out 125ml it seems like way more than 1/2 cup. I will try using grams tonight instead.

I'm adding a squat rack to my collection this weekend. I'm extremely excited about it!

I do everything at home. I have slowly built myself an awesome little gym over the past year and have no reason to a gym...nor have I ever wanted to. I like to workout in he privacy of my own home and have my own schedule.
