  • This week felt hectic (I feel like all weeks are becoming hectic lol)! Got my first outdoor jog in this Thursday. Funny story... I wear Invisalign and I don't know if that is the reason, but I was producing some serious saliva. So I decided to spit as I was jogging. Told my husband and my daughter I would meet them at her…
  • I think that is the issue I was having which is why people recommended I move towards a low bar squat.
  • I work in a school type setting as well. Everyone brings something god damn new every god damn week. I literally get so annoyed! Some weeks I just say no but others (take a look at my Tuesday diary entry) I just give up and give in. Honestly, my only suggestion is to try and pick one of the things in the office and make it…
  • Well I was told that my stance was more like a low bar squat than a high one. So I decided to try it out and MAN did it make a difference. I am engaging parts of my booty that I didn't even realized existed lol. I just stayed at 85lbs for 2 weeks and have been working on getting ATG, which is a lot easier for me with this…
  • Tagging for myself because we are at the same height (WAY heavier though). I am having the same difficulties you are! I can even say that I took the same eating breaks as you did lol so weird. I am eating around the same amount as you as well but just not dropping (going up and down between the same few lbs) and feeling SO…
  • Happy April folks. There are a few posts for me to catch up on and my brain just doesn't seem to be functioning as of late, so I will need to catch up on them later. Yesterday was my first lift since Friday... I have been feeling SO tired lately. I am really not sure what's up, but I feel like my body is just heavy. Squats…
  • Barefoot for me too. Socks scare me, I worry I will slip, which is an irrational thought because I lift on on carpet.
  • I am in the market for new shoes but I just find they are so damn pricey! We are supposed to be hitting 12 degrees today (fingers crossed). The weather was beautiful yesterday, super sunny but still chilly. I hope the snow ends. This winter has dragged on and just like you, I am going through running withdrawal. On another…

  • laharlson - I agree. Listen to your body, the barbell will be there when you get back! Fittreelol - WOW! Your workouts make me feel guilty for being lazy! SezxyStef - With a workout like that, sounds like you deserve pizza and wings :drinker: Well my lift was sht today. :grumble: Honestly, I didn't want to lift when I did,…
  • saranharm - Awesome work!!! 2 inches is a lot and you should be proud! I recently lost some waist too but my thighs are the same. I tend to wonder if I just suck at taking measurements lol. Either way, everyone has been complimenting me lately on losing more weight and I really haven’t dropped more than 2 lbs since I…
  • I can only speak for myself, but when I get discouraged I try to think about the fact that this is now my life. I am eating better, working out and making wiser choices for the rest of my life. The weight coming off is just a plus side. But sometimes that doesn't work so I go on long *****y rants on my newsfeed lol Another…
  • Great work on sticking to your plan! I totally would have ate a cronut! I really am dying to try one!
  • I agree with focusing on upping your protein. The more I started focusing on reaching over 100 grams of protein a day, the less hungry I feel. But it sounds like your battle is more of a mental one, which is something I can relate to. In the beginning I would literally day dream about binge eating at buffets and what not.…
  • So I deloaded as was suggested (down to 85lbs) and have been working on my form for the last week. I will post a video next week but I just wanted to see if you guys could tell me if I have the bar is proper for the low bar technique. Thank you in advance.
  • In short, no. You can eat twinkies all day and still lose weight. BUT, if health is a bigger priority then just losing weight, then yes, it matters.
  • Not having gas money to see the doctor is really sad man. :( Is there anyone you can ask to lend you money for a bit? You should really try and see them again. To answer your question, I personally don't work out when I am sick. I just feel that your body needs all the energy is has to make you feel better, so why use…
  • I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was a teenage too (tbh though, I never really asked about it after that, does it just go away?) Anyways, I am on evra (the patch) and have experienced this a few times. I noticed that every time I would lose 10 lbs or so, my period would get wonky (2 or 3 periods in a month, break threw…
  • Well first, congrats on taking the steps to become healthier!:flowerforyou: Second, I think that you will definitely lose weight by eating 900 to 1100 calories. The question you want to ask yourself: Is my health worth weighing less? I don't know your height, your activity level or what kind if food you consume, but when…
  • I like having cottage cheese in the fridge because if all else fails, I know I can mix it with cinnamon and BAM got myself a lovely snack. My stupid guilt lately has been mini breton crackers. About 20 of those babies for 100 calories!

  • Im actually giggling at this. But in all seriousness, what is the point of trying to lose weight if you can't enjoy life. I say enjoy the dinner and eat moderately. If you can, try and log it, if you cant, just start fresh the next day. Try to make the best choices you can make. If in the past you would eat 3 servings of…
  • Damn girl! I'm over here feeling like a boss for being able to row 65lbs and youre over here doing 110lbs! Youre amazing! Congrats on the inch loss!!! :drinker:
  • burpees I HATE WITH A FIERY PASSION! My whole week is thrown off. I like to lift M-W-F but this week just isnt working out that way. Monday was parent council and didn't get home till late. So I lifted Tuesday. Then so I can get back into my routine I lifted Wednesday. Now I dont think I will have a chance Friday, so it…
  • Agreed. In the beginning, I really didn't care about what was good for me or bad for me. I just ate within my calories and a lost weight. Simple. Once you feel that you have control of that, then do your own research on what kind of things you want in your body and how it makes you feel. Start simple and work your way up.
  • Not sure if I missed it, but I figured I'd throw in some Salvadorean culture Breakfast: Eggs, refried beans, fried plantain, crema, hard cheese and fresh corn tortillas.... COFFEE (all day everyday)!!! Lunch: Usually soup (fish soup, beef bone soup) and corn tortillas Dinner: Heavy stuff-- Pupusas, tamales, rice and beans,…
  • Great work!!! You look awesome!!! :flowerforyou:
  • Please feel free to add me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE meat, BUT we try to eat vegetarian suppers as much as possible (family medical conditions require it). (not a clean eater though, I eat a mix of it all)
  • :love: YOU GO GIRL!!!! Congrats!!!!
  • You always have nice encouraging things to say. :smile: I agree.... before you know it, 20lbs are gone, 40lb and so on. Know that you are the only person who can control your actions. You goofed yesterday, no biggie, keep on going!
  • Sometimes I feel like I am the only person that lifts that enjoys cardio! I really feel like I NEED to do it or else my mood will be wretched! For the past few weeks I have been dying for warmth so I can start running again! Agreed ^^^ When I stress, I usually just jump in bed and wallow in self pity... good on you for…
