This post made my day.

@Tracie, check out www.exrx.net, there are little video clips of tons of different lifts.

:smile: Agree with all above, 7' is standard at 44 pounds. I THINK the 5'6 is 35 pounds(ish).

No, my goal at this point is not to gain muscle. You can't gain muscle while eating at a deficit, but you can help to maintain your muscle mass by heaving lifting while you lose. You are right in the sense that if I am happy with my body's appearance and it doesn't match a number I think I want to see on my scale- I will…

At this point my goal is to lose fat and maintain muscle. This is not unusual..

Here are my stats: 127 pounds, 5'3. I want to lose about 5 pounds. I have a desk job. MFP gives me 1200 calories to lose .7 pounds per week (net, not gross). That is just how it is for some people who may not have too much weight to lose. I personally use TDEE -20, however, it is not that far off. I do Stronglifts, so I…

Congrats! That is a great victory! It is fun watching the weights creeping up, but I completed work out 15 today, and I am getting stuck, BP mostly. I did get my squat to 95 this week which I failed to do last work out. Slow and steady, baby!
-
I do, I cherish my rest days! However, I am the tiniest bit off this week because last week I was sick, like unable to get out of bed for 2 days sick, and missed my Wednesday work out (I do M,W,F). So I went back to schedule on Friday and had only 1 day off since then, so missed my normal Sat/Sunday off as I run on my lift…

I am eating on a deficit, I am doing TDEE -15, give or take. I think I might have to focus on hitting macros and try upping calories, although I loathe to do that in June, as I am still trying to get off a few pounds. I will try going up 100 or so and see how that helps/hurts- and think I will add those calories on my way…

I will hit up CVS this afternoon and try to find something like that then. I will give it a try to see if it helps, but man, I was so disappointed taking weight off for my 5th set today. Was such a let down as I have only been progressing up until this point!
-
I will join in, up at 4:40 for gym at 5. M, W, F for SL 5x5. T, T I try to run. Just getting into before work routine, and know I can do it through the summer, but I am pretty worried about keeping it up in the winter! How do you guys do it??
-
That is fantastic and inspiring. I can't wait to do a 65# OHP! Congrats!
-
I am only starting SL, and in week 3 (work out 10 tomorrow). I have been running on non lift days (about 5k) with one day of rest. I had to skip my run today because I felt totally wiped out yesterday during my lift, no energy to increase my weights. I am eating on a deficit (trying to get couple of pounds down before I…

That is awesome! Please keep posting updates, I am 2 weeks in and want to be able to follow you! Wish I had a partner to work with me, I think it would really help with confidence, but unable to find anyone who wants to get up at 4:30am!

Kira, you sound like you know what you need to do. I am new to lifting, but not to exercise, and knowing when to take a step back is harder than just going for more all the time. I finished session 7 today, **stop to do a little cheer for myself**!! Squats 65 BP 55 Bb row 50 Spent a lot of time working on form for squats…
-
Try watching "So you think you can Squat" on you tube. The instructor takes you through everything from set up to lifting the bar to squating. I found it very informative regarding form. It has 4 segements, worth the time.

Hi All, Sounds like May is going pretty well for everyone so far. Today officially completed my first week of SL, will start putting some plates on next time! Albeit small, but still excited. Was happy to feel like I started to figure out form for the rows, they flustered me the first time out and I ended up with a sore…

I just started Saturday also!!! Did A on Saturday and did B this morning. Just used the empty barbell. I couldn't even get the empty barbell up over my head this morning for the overhead presses, had to use a 25 pound bar. UGH! One step at a time!
-
I did day2 week 3 RI30 last night. It IS hard. It is those duck walks in the first circut that kill me. And the squat jumps. I have done the video before, week 4 is actually easier than week 3. :tongue:
-
@KARRIANN, Don't feel too bad. I am also up a pound this week. We will really get at this week, ok?! 3/13: 132 3/20: 133
-
I am doing it now, level 2. I record it as 20 minutes of general circuit training, at 132 pounds, it gives me 160(ish) calories.

will be 40 this year and want to make sure that I am not letting it go! I will be friends!

I asked the same question a few months back and someone told me about an alarm clock that simulates a sun rise. I bought one and it has absolutely helped me be able to get up at 5am for workouts. It is by Phillips and it starts to brighten the room about 30 minutes before the alarm goes off. The alarm that I use is birds…

Sounds like you know the answer to your problem already, the weekends are killing you, you have to clean up your act there to get the weight off. My issue too, but it is no mystery! :drinker:

Create a recipe using the weights of all your ingredients individually prior to making peanut butter, divide by the number of servings. You can determine the number of servings once your have made the peanut butter. For example: If your ingredients come out to 30,000 calories for everything, and you think a serving size is…

I had the same thing this morning. Last week was down to 127, then the weekend hit, was up to 129 (figured water weight) and this morning 130. That made me very depressed, but you can't let that number get you down too much. I, too, am feeling very bloated today, so I am going to make an effort to drink more water, eat a…
