Thanks Bee. I need this, badly. I am also going to be doing t/th class from my gym. I'm hoping to use this site as a nice "keep your butt moving daily" so I have no excuse on I don't have anything planned. :D

First Name: Meghan Location: Ohio Weight: 207.4 last time I weighted about 2 days ago Height 5'6 and 1/2. Yes the half matters Goal for program: To get my lazy butt back in gear and fit back into my clothes. I lost 10lbs in 2014 and it all crept back on this year. I want to feel comfortable in my clothes again and not be…

I'm torn. This could go either way. I'll be curious to see how it shapes up.

The PsychoPath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson. Needed to read some real life crazy stuff. Previous fiction was re-reading Harry Potter books while on Christmas vacation. Keep trying to read Game of Thrones and just can't get into it.

I tend to make large batches of Lasagna and Chili so that I can freeze half of it for later for the lazy days. We also keep frozen veggies around for a quick side dish and a few frozen meals from Trader Joes.

I would love to join. I prefer Hufflepuff please, if that is filled then Ravenclaw, then Griffendyor finally Slitheryn.

Exactly Lreed89! Women can only get bulky after a long period of time with a crazy insane diet with the purpose of getting ripped. 30DS is mainly cardio with strength built into, but nothing like true strength training. You'll be fine.

Tameko!! She has a crazy long streak for logging. And loves to post food porn pictures. Makes me smile. :D

I thought this ____ was stopped! <Slamsheadintodesk> Michael Bay needs to die in one of his own explosions.

I didn't go and get pregnant. I'm sure a few did but sadly yes we all kind of fell off the face of the planet on this one.

I rowing machines. they are awesome. I keep pondering just biting the bullet and buying one for home.

You can totally do this program! I know there are women that are older that lift and love it. Just start slow. If I can do this program anyone can! I am 35 and have wretched lower back issues (last year at this time I couldn't sit, stand, walk, sleep or do anything because of a slipped disc and nerve issues which all…

Got to TJMaxx or Marshalls or any discount store and find a pair of leggings from any name brand for half the price. I NEVER buy any exercise gear for full price. It is all brand name and good quality but cheaper. Besides who needs to pay full price for something that will end up stinking, fast. Because spandex doesn't…

Morning ladies! I fell into some kind of 'pit' the last few weeks and have barley worked out. They gym has been nuts so I couldn't really get into the squat rack w/o being highly annoyed so I just wandered upstairs and did body squats and TRX exercises. FINALLY made it back to weighted squats though yesterday. De-loaded…

It has been a crazy week with the frigid temps and insane legal cases at work so today was the first time back to the gym this week. OMG the resolutioners were out in full force, even in the weight room it was SO full of testoteronie! It was my punishment for not getting up and going to the gym this am. It was so crowded…

Yup. I even workout with her from time to time.

Finally got into the gym yesterday and it took me badgering myself to go. I had to leave work at 3:45 drive 30 minutes to file something in another county then double back to close to where I work, another 30-40 minutes due to traffic at rush hour, so I could get my workout in. I need to get a gym closer or get a home gym.…

Happy New Year! Tomorrow will be the first day of lifting for me in the new year. I didn't feel like battling bad roads (due to snow) this morning at 5am so tomorrow will be just as well. Plus I didn't want to take the chance that the gym might have been closed due to the snow as well.

I would say follow what lowoodroff stated. Start practicing at getting the form down with body weight squats and dumbells and then start off slowly in the rack. Ask the trainer again to show you the moves and if they start to spout off that BS that you will get bulky just tell them to stop and simply say "This is what I…

Hubby did ask me what I needed for a home gym so he can start looking around for stuff to purchase off craigslist for me! :D I think we will just use the garage as my gym because he said the space heater gets it pretty warm (our garage is really tiny. It was more meant as a storage unit than to park a car in because not…

I can't tell if my work pants are tight because my butt is getting bigger and/or because my stomach fat is pushing out due to the core getting stronger but just not melting that stubborn fat yet. The fat is melting off somewhere as I feel different it just isn't visible to me yet especially at my flesh belt which bothers…

Managed to drag my butt to the gym today. A lady came over and offered to spot me while I was benching. I said yes because I was having issues with the first two sets. Then she said you could do more reps I bet and I replied that I was doing the 5x5 program. She had never heard of it so I explained it to her. She asked if…

Just say Body Pump is weighted cardio and you are doing Olympic lifting with barbells.

Basements are nice but when they start to leak they suck (we temporarily fixed the issue but have to save up to really truly get the crack in the foundation fixed). I did see a rack for $200 the other day on craigslist. I'm weary of buying anything until the hubby has a job. I'm jealous of the purple chucks!! (mine are…

Well my day break turned into seven and even after trying to lift at 6am this morning (but the gym didn't open until 10am, somehow I missed this sign) I managed to get in after work. Squat 5x5 115lbs OHP 5x5 65lbs DL 1x5 105lbs YEAH broke triple digits on the dl finally. I am going gnaw my arm off if I don't go eat so I'll…

I need to keep going with SL. Come end of Jan I should be at 12 weeks. I need to add a little bit of cardio in.. maybe start walking 2 days a week on my off days.

It seems I took a week off form working out this holiday season. I was tired and meant to just take 2 then I got sick and then today (7 days after my last lifting session) the gym was closed! Okay, okay I am going after work but still I got up at 5am and the gym was closed. My gym is up by my work so I had to drive back…

@sexystuff - Nice numbers! @kira - 2 works out in one. Awww yeah. It seemed pretty dead this morning but I haven't been to my gym on TH morning in a long time. Squat 115lb 5x5 Row 45lbs 1x5, 55lbs 4x5, 60lbs 1x5 - I think I finally have the form down so slowly going to get the weight up Bench 95lbs 5x5

I remember now why I drag my *kitten* out of bed at 5am to get to the gym when it opens at 6am, the gym tonight was INSANITY. I was lucky enough to get the squat rack for my squats. Squats 110lb 5x5 OHP - moved out as the rack was in high demand and did DB 30lbs each - 4,4,5,4,4 DL - 95lbs I was going to try 100 but all…

Squat 110 5x5 Row 45lb x1 55lbs x4 Bench 90lbs - it was a struggle but I managed to get all 5x5 My right trap muscle (I think) is feeling odd. It has been feeling odd since Wed after my squats. I Can't seem to find a stretch to make it feel better. It feels tight but at the same time a little sore. Any ideas on how to…
