Whoa I missed a lot! All your numbers look awesome! This weekend was odd. I was sooooooooo damn sore all weekend. Honestly even today, my booty,legs and abs were still a bit sore. No clue what was up. So I didn't do any heavy cardio or lifting, just some long walking. Squat: 5x5 85lbs Still focusing on form. I will add…

Great work!!! We are the same height and weight now! May I ask, what did you do to drop the weight (calories/ workouts).

:love: OMG I LOVE YOUR PROGRESS PIC!!!! I am totally hoping to gain a booty by squatting heavy (is that the right term?) and your pics prove it is possible!!! Congrats on your progress!!! :drinker:

krokador- I drive almost 80 kms to work each day... the snow makes my life hell! But I agree, I am happy to be no where near -25 anymore whoa that's a big drop! How much are you eating now? I am doing 1560 calories a day and have my macros split 40-30-30. I just don't want to go below this. I have decided I am done with…

Warming up has made a world of a difference for me! I really feel like I have more control of my body now that I started taking the time. Someone in a previous post said this : You're not just warming up in the sense of raising body temperature, you're also getting your muscles, connective tissue, and brain ready for each…

I have about 30 lbs to drop so I was hoping that the results would come in faster. I started about a month and a half ago and have dropped 1 inch off my waist and lost 1lb. It is going much slower than I imagined but I can actually say I see a difference in my body. My stomach is getting way flatter and my booty is getting…

Seeing this thread is kind of sad for me. :cry: I am 5'2 and 160 lbs and currently eating around 1560 calories a day (not eating back exercise calories). Aiming to drop 1 lb a week (hasn't really worked for the past 2 weeks though). I do cardio 3-4 times a week and lift heavy 3 times a week and I have a sedentary job. I…

I never really paid any attention to that until I read your post. Last night when I did my lift I was more aware of that I really tried to straighten out before beginning my set. I bought this bench without really knowing anything about lifting, hopefully in the near future I can upgrade to something that is better.

I decided to do my lift yesterday instead of today as scheduled. I'm going out tonight, so I didn't want to rush it. Squat 5x5 75lbs Staying at this weight for another couple days. I really want to perfect my form. I am really starting to feel it in my glutes so that is my main aim. Bench 5x5 75lbs Oh man did I feel this…

Tuesday I did kickboxing, which is one of my favs! Yesterday I did workout B On the suggestions of a MFP member, I decided to deload from 110 to 85lbs to work on my form. I also decided to switch from a high bar squat to a low bar squat. I LOVE IT!!! I'm not sure if it was the amount of weight or just the form, but I felt…

Agree with PP. I mostly want to thank you guys for being so respectful about the whole thing. I find that a lot of people have a really condescending attitude towards others who arent at their fitness-level or who just don't know as much as you guys . It is nice to be able to ask questions and get honest answers without…

Saturday I did a quick 20 min hiit in the morning and did some interval on the elliptical for about an hr in the night. Sunday was rest as our power was out and didn't want to trip in fall in the dark lol. Monday was lift day :love: Squat: 5x5 110lbs Took suggestions from the form check thread and really focused on…

Thanks so much for the feedback! It is true, I totally feel that I put a lot of energy into moving back! Last night I lifted and took your suggestion on making sure I was upright to begin! I also took the other persons suggestion of dropping my bum more. I am going to be working on my form over the next two weeks and I…

I find that my lift on Monday's is usually great. It might be because I eat more on weekends. Now my Wednesday lift is probably where I would see the most difficulty. Maybe instead of doing a drastic low calorie for Monday and Tuesday, I might just eat a little less on M-F. hahaha I would really love to do that! The only…

Thank you very much to you both! I did my lift last night, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to view the video on the low bar squat. I lift again on Wednesday and I think I will take your suggestion (Sidesteel) and deload and focus on form for the next two weeks. I will repost again at that time. Thanks again!

Thanks! For some reason I keep focusing on pushing my butt backwards. I lift again tonight so I will def try and drop my bum more. I had to deload on the OHP because I kept failing at 55lbs. So it was my first time at 45lbs in a while. I will make sure to remind myself to place my elbows properly! Thanks again:flowerforyou:

Hello Everyone, So I have been doing stronglifts for just about a month and a half (took two weeks off due to illness). The video is my first set of squats and my last set of squats at 105. The second part is first set of OHP at 45lbs. Please don't judge me for my weakness lol…

Sounds like you had just one of those days. I hate those days, happens once in a while. Worse when it is on a Friday though. Hope your Saturday is better!!

Thursday- Took a rest. Was totally just feeling TIRED. My lift felt better Friday, so maybe the rest helped. Thinking of doing just 3 days lifting and two days cardio/hiit now. Friday- Workout B Squat Warm Up 2x5 45lbs 1x3 70lbs 1x2 90lbs Working Set 5x5 105 :glasses: Felt good OHP Warm up 2x5 bar (15lbs) 1x5 30lbs Working…

Fitnessblender has some pretty good kickboxing videos. Won't be exactly the same, but is worth a try. hahaha I never really thought of all the awesome things I will be able to do once I can lift more! Now my stinking issue is that my grip is so weak I can't even take the springclamp off the bar :embarassed: ..... my…

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm blue cheese mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I would go with what the posters above mentioned ... fajitas! There is also this on their website Charbroiled Chicken Salad A bed of crisp greens, onions, lite cheddar cheese, tossed with sweet corn, green and red peppers, black beans, chives and tomatoes. Topped with sliced Charbroiled Chicken Breast and served with Pico…

I really depends on what your goals are.... do you have a calorie goal for the meal? Certain macros you're trying to meet?

I was going based on what the ap says to do.... which I believe if 1 1/2 minutes if you didn't fail the lift. I am not going to lie, there are times when I fail a lift and I *knoooow* I should wait the 5 minutes, but I just do it after 3 minutes or so to get it done. Probably terrible if I want to actually be successful!

lololol IM DYING!!! I don't know why I find this so funny

Yesterday was cardio. Did a nice 30min hiit. Today was workout a Warm up squat 1x5 15lbs 1x5 45lbs 1x3 75lbs 1x2 90lbs Set 105lbs - 5,5,5,5,4 Just couldn't pull through on the last one Warm up chest press 2x5 25lbs 1x5 50lbs 1x3 50lbs Set 70lbs 5x5 Felt great!

First of all... I fking love taco bell! Looks like a yummy day you had. I think you just need to close yesterday's food diary and don't look back. You did it, its done and now today you're making better choices. I read a blog post yesterday that really hit home I will look for it and reply back in a minute. ** here you go…

I'll do it for you! :wink: I eat egg creations or egg beaters or whatever.... why? Because I like the way they taste. And some days I eat whole eggs. It really just depends. I guess if you're a "clean eater" than don't eat them. But I would be a mighty hypocrite of I didn't eat them but went off and ate a bag of m&ms or…

Congrats on getting down to 227. If you're working out regularly, then you're probably eating more than you should be if you aren't dropping. Since your food diary isn't open, it will be hard for most people to give suggestions on what to do. One of the biggest suggestions people will give though is.... log EVERYTHING and…
