Yeaaaaah! My b*tches! Tolkien, Doctor Who, anime, scifi, Firefly, Buffy, Game of Thrones, Outland, Harry Potter, Torchwood, Sherlock and one more time for DOCTOR WHO!

I know exactly what she's talking about. I was just saying that I don't use those. That's what I said, I don't use any of the things labelled as a specific "preworkout". But instead have a "preworkout" mini meal/snack thing which I find is the perfect combination to increase my energy stamina without having to spend money…

Well for myself personally I do a few things. I'm trying to lose weight so I eat in a deficit. I try to hit my macros, high protein is important to me especially since I lift. I try to stay low on sodium for blood pressure and I also try to get at close to 100% as I can on my daily micros, *shrug*, it's as easy as that.

For me it's my arms. My arms take foreeeeveeeeeer.

I love it! I love to cook and enjoy a wide range of foods so I have no sense of eating "health food" really or anything like that. I just eat delicious foods that fit my calories. I've only been this overweight for a couple of years so I don't feel like I'm learning a whole new life from scratch which helps. I've just…

I LOVE rice cakes. I grew up with them. We always melted cheese on them. White cheddar flavor? Yum! And the cinnamon flavor are like a sweet snack. The mini rice cakes are delicious too. Sour cream and onion. Love it! They are like fluffy chips!

I don't take anything labeled "preworkout". But I do take a half scoop of protein powder and half a banana about an hour before. I find that to be the perfect preworkout for me. Same with recovery drinks. I have chocolate milk nothing labeled "recovery drink". I just havnt found anything premade with ingredients that seem…

On the website go to goals, then go to custom goals. You can change it there.

I use MFP for calories and then more IIFYM for my macro breakdown. By that I mean I customized my macros based on my needs I don't use the default macros.

Ok so squats and that may give you a bigger bottom but that just makes you more pear shaped unless OP is already very top heavy. How would you also get bigger boobs to even it out? Remember, hourglass is a 10"+ difference on top AND bottom.

^ this. I set my activity to what my life is like WITHOUT structured exercise. Workouts are extra things I do on top of my life that I may or may not do super consistently. If I'm sick for a week and don't work out then I don't want to be eating as if I did an extra hour of cardio every day. It would throw me off. By…

I'm sorry but then why is your question so insanely vague? You didn't include what your goals are or what you're trying to achieve or what workouts you're currently doing or how they have effected your body comp. So if you're going to post your questions like a complete newb I'm going to answer you like you're one. Which…

Oh yes, prelogging is also key!

Thanksgiving went great for me (Canada) and I had 2 of them (in laws). I just took small portions, logged what I was able to log (turkey etc) and didn't double dip for things. Like if I had sweet potatoes I didn't also take regular potatoes. I made my goal to lose weight over Thanksgiving and I did. I plan on doing the…

Oh my god yesssss. The vanilla ones are only 130 cals. I also love the chocolate truffle icecream bars, 100 cals. Soooo satusfying!

It helps if you take some time looking for high volume/low cal foods to fill you up. Here is a just for example, my breakfast today. 1 large white tortilla shell Half cup of egg whites (= 4 eggs) 1 cup spinach 50g sliced mushrooms 1 jalapeno pepper 2 slices smoked breakfast ham 30g marble cheese 2tbs salsa = 300 cals Where…

Wooooo welcome! You'll have a blast

Who me? Yeah I got a sexy bod, lol but buying clothes is torture. Like, sobbing in a ball in the change room crap even when I'm at my smaller size because designers don't seem to believe body's like mine exist. So it's hard to buy clothes that fit right. If it fits my waist it doesn't fit my boobs. If it fits my boobs it's…

Figure out what your goals are for your body first. Then go read bodybuilding.com forums. Your question is too broad at the moment. You first need to learn about working out in general.

Im an hourglass pretty much no matter what. When I'm heavier and when im at my smaller weight. Even now I have 70lbs to drop but I'm still 48" (I have MASSIVE boobs) / 35"/ 45". When I'm around my goal my measurements are aroundish 45"/28"-30"/42-45". With squatting and weights and stuff my waist/hips/bum could be a couple…

Aaaaaanyway.... Sure you can. I had a half day of A&W the other week and still stayed at a deficit. Mama burgers and fries throughout the night (I work nights so it was my daytime). I was just craving salty fries and juicy burgers. I kept myself in deficit while I did it and my craving was completely satisfied. (My macros…

Shoppers drug mart. They are even on sale 4/$5 today and tomorrow :smiley: Edit: sorry just saw you were specifically looking for the protein bars. Not sure about that one since I didn't go to Shoppers today.

Stay at my calorie goal, 40/30/30 macros with 40 = protien (141 grams) try to get my micros as high as possible for good nutrition, try to keep my sodium low for my blood pressure.

Digital food scale: brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I feel secure in my counting. Digital bathroom scale: I hate analog scales SO MUCH! My new digital scale is accurate, has led lighting so I can weigh myself in the dark if I'm still half asleep and not ready for blinding lights yet and I just love it. Protein powder:…

Nope they all come in water, but they don't HAVE to be stored refrigerated. In the Asian store I get them for $2.50. More expensive here than most people on line mentioned too.

I feel sooooo sick. Super nauseated. I'm basically living on mint tea at work tonight. Though strangely craving sugar/chocolate. I want to be sick but I'd kill for a Mr.Big bar. How weird is THAT!?

Hmmm I prefer protein bars to protein shakes. The closest thing to a shake I have are protein smoothies. I buy whey isolate protein powder and quite often make 4-berry smoothies for breakfast. In years past I've had a chocolate Boost shake for lunch when needed. But I sure as heck wouldn't try to live on them for long.

I'm a sparkle queen. I love my shiny shiny rocks. And no one does shiny rocks better than Harry Winston. Tiffany diamonds can bite me.

I work 10 + 2 hours of travel time? I pre-log and pack everything for the night.

Actually you've kinda grabbed the wrong end of the stick here. The fact that you're still struggling means that your muscles are still needing to work hard with those weights which is the whole point. Not everyone progresses at the same rate. If you're still struggling to do 8 reps with proper form then your muscles are…
