Bump just to make more people see this and read what she had to say. It is so true. Good for you. Most young people don't think this way. They become older people who don't think this way.

Not sure.

I banned banning things. If I want it I make it work in my macros and calories. Best thing I've ever done. My relationship with food is awesome now. I don't rule anything out.

Have you tried almond butter?

I was going to look for this picture. Thanks for shooting holes through her opinion.

Congrats first off on deciding to start strength training. It is a great thing. i'd like to help on your question but I have one of my own first. Does your gym have 5 or 10 pound bumper plates? Bumper plates are the hard rubber plates. They would allow you to have a standard size bar height with lower weight so you can…

It's a bad movie that so many including myself love. I quote that movie so much. My wife doesn't understand why I have to watch it every time it is on.

Thank you. Two of my favorite things.

I'm black and college educated.I have a full time job as a server administrator at a large company. I have lost weight, and am now working on gaining weight the right way to build strength and muscle. And, I don't understand the reason for this topic.

You are doing and looking great. Keep it up.

Why would you skip or not eat in the evenings? That's when you have your cravings right? Eat when your body wants you to eat. Not on some time schedule like "oh it's this o'clock I should eat."

SF 49ers since 1989 baby.

How can you be a Cowboys and Giants fan?

Any pizza with meat on it zero calorie. Vegetable pizza all the calories.

All of the other things you do is to accomplish the first thing put down which is create a caloric deficit. If you are not losing weight you are not creating a caloric deficit. You need to weigh with a digital food scale in either grams or ounces to know accurately what you are eating. Do you even know what you need to…

^^^Church!!! Now to the OP and others doing this. There is nothing wrong with it if you need to give up something to create a caloric deficit. You can figure out how to have those things and still create a deficit later. Good for you.

4 day upper/lower split: Mon: Upper power Tues: Lower power Thur: Upper hypertrophy Fri: Lower hypertrophy With twice a week though stick to two full body workouts with compound lifts and a isolation lift for biceps and triceps.

^ Yeah this, you don't have to eat right after you workout if you don't want to. Unless you are getting contest ready the average joe isn't going to lose all his or her gains cause they didn't eat in that "magical window" within 45 minutes of training.

I don't know what your idea of healthy is. It's different for everyone. But, eating plenty of brown rice, beans, potatoes,and other high fiber foods along with adequate protein and fat should be taking care of that hunger. If you're hungry eat more. Also make sure you're drinking plenty of water.

^^^This many times over. Squats can solve a lot of the worlds problems. :laugh: :wink:

Weight training isn't going to make a woman bulky. Sorry.

They are awesome. Try it with cheese, pizza sauce, and some pepperoni in it. Awe man. I'm hungry now.

You're an adult but you are blaming the reason you over eat on your mother? Very adult acting right there. Take full responsibility for your actions. No matter what she says to you, she isn't holding a gun to your head and making you overeat.

This isn't going to sound right considering we are talking about smoking. But, look up some fatty recipes. The bacon wrapped ones are the best. Here is cheeseburger fatty

My wife has a low body fat percentage, so no arguments on this.

So,,,, you're dead?!

If I can't eat pizza with the cheese, I don't want the pizza.

Mobility work is key. I used to be in the same boat. I thought well I'm 6'3" I shouldn't be able to go ATG on squats. But, I really wanted to. Check out Elliot Hulse's mobility stretches on YouTube. That changed my life when it comes to squats.

I second that motion.

Does that really matter though? Let's say she is annoying and harasses him.. He obviously doesn't want to spend time with her (or he would)... so................................ it's still time to reconsider the relationship and decide if this is what you want or something that you can handle. Even if she called him an…
