A bit extreme, isn't it?? I agree!

thanks :):) The veins, however, I am not sure I like!

Asics and new balance...I prefer asics... they are perfect for a wide toe box.

:-)

Wow...very Interesting!

Thanks :-)

That's better! lol

thank you :) Did they recede after she stopped training hard?

Its all new to me - I have always worked out here and there but I have been really hitting it hard lately and this is happening so just making sure something bizarre is not going on.... you know... going back to your original sarcastic response- like no "vein explosions" or anything... ppppssssttttt!

thank you :):)

Ahh - that explains it... I don't watch cartoons! (except for the innocent ones with my son).... no need to worry :):)

I don't want to debulk - I am not bulky - I was asking about veins... if it is normal for them to protrude from lifting....

Oh geez ---- that is funny! I still have no idea who Stewie is? Who is he?

What is a Stewie gif and why do you need it?

Thanks .... is this a positive thing? For women? I see a little of it on my lower legs, as well - not sure if i like it... but don't want to back off on lifting, as I have other positive results....

Sarcasm was not my request - I was looking for honesty.

Oh ...eww! Is that real?

Exactly! Although, I was never veiny before ...but now they bulge... my lower legs, too! ... and then there is one going from my shoulder, through my bicep, and down to my elbow..... I think its lifting inspired stress, or something?

I know - I have been doing this for a while and have really noticed the veins since the weight loss and since upping my strength training.... They aren't that bad while I am not lifting, but they really become more pronounced while at the gym...!

Not while lifting, but here is a pic of the veins in my forearm... they get more pronounced when lifting.... AND

This has happened to me, as well.... it appears to be normal :)

It is basically a cold dip made of chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper... puree in food processor... Then get creative and add in other things... one of my favorites is tomato basil hummus :-) Use it also as a thick salad dressing with spinach.... any Mediterranean apps and or dishes go…

BUMP - thanks for posting :) This is right up my alley :)

You all can add me, too:-) I am a 41 yo vegetarian. I have been here for almost a year and have lost 45 lbs..very close to my goal weight but always looking to give a and to get ongoing support. Add me :-) :-) :-)

Thanks...it's so delicious:-)

I make these all the time ..http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/black-bean-quinoa-burgers/ I add corn and flax seed and then serve on toast ..open faced, with a Slice of cheese and topped with avocado... delish!

My post-workout lunch everyday: 350g PLAIN NONFAT greek yogurt, 61g canned pumpkin, 1TBSP pumpkin pie spice, 1 packet stevia (you can use splenda, sugar or any other sweetener - may need to adjust due to strength of sweetener), stir those ingredients really well.. then, at the end, at 5TBSP PB2....and stir so you still…
