Insane. Can't praise or admire you enough XX

Set A again Question - rows. I struggle with rows and I'm sure it's a mental thing. I slipped a disc a few years ago in my back and ever sine have had ongoing back problems. Squats and deads don't bother my back, in fact when I'm lifting my back problem go away - I'm assuming it's due to my core getting stronger. But…

43, 5'3, started at 180 about 4 weeks ago, currently 172 - goal weight is 140. but I've given myself 6 months to do it. If it takes longer then that's ok. And the goal weight isn't exact as I'm a lifter and so I'm more interested in changing my body shape. It''s really interesting seeing how we are all the same height but…

I've been thinking about it and I think I might temporarily get some rubber matting to protect the floor and leave the weights where they are. The garage is so drafty I don't know whether I could force myself to go in there when it is snowing outside. Thanks for all the input :smile:
-
Foam mats and space heaters- good ideas, cheers. I'm fed up f not being able to move in the dining room and from last time lowering the bar down carefully after deads was just all wrong. Think I might have to just suck it up and pull my big girl thermal panties up!

Hi, I'm mum to a 19 year old boy - he eats like a HORSE! So there have always been a tonne of snacks at my house. One of the things I've learned is to still buy him snacks but the ones I'm not too keen on - so lots of biscuits (cookies) but no crisps (chips) as they are my kryptonite. However sometimes it just comes down…

Ok here's where I am. Steady weight loss for a month - 7lbs, very happy. Started weight lifiting again this week, have done 2 sessions and my weight has 'gone up' - 2.6lbs. Now I know my calorie consumption is on the money and logically there is no way I have consumed 10,000 calories to 'put on' that weight. So that means…

First B day. Oh lord, I had forgotten just how much I HATE OHP. I mean, I seriously hate it. And it's the first lift I dropped when I stopped last year. But it ain't gonna beat me this time, keeping the weight low low low and going up slow slow slow and it WILL be done. My kid who is 19 and lifts coached me on form and…

I lift at home and my set up is in my living/dining room on a wooden floor! There is absolutely no throwing the weights down for me. I've been considering moving it all out into the garage but it gets hella cold in there in the winter and I'm concerned about injuring myself. I got my set up off Ebay and while it's not what…

Jealous. I want one :smile:

What an amazing thread - hello to you all and thanks for sharing. I love the diversity of the group. Here's my 2 pennorth - there's a clue for you - I'm 43 - Live in Lancashire which is in the North of England - mother to a 19 year old boy who is currently at Uni who looks just like his dad but has my personality traits. -…

1. Keep logging and hitting those macros. Keep focusing on the protein and dairy - upping my dairy intake kas made a huge difference in how full I feel. I'm eating at TDEE-20 as I have a lot of body fat to shift, not sustainable long term with the lifting but we'll see how it goes. 2. Lift. 3x a week. No excuses. I've…

Hey lifties, I've come back to the 5x5 fold and am determined to see it through this time. Started it about this time last year, had AMAZING results for 2 months and then got derailed by a series of life events that saw me kick my healthier eating and exercise to the kerb. Can't quite believe it's taken me this long to get…

Oh noes! That's your losses screwed for this week - the sodium in pickles is gonna bloat you like a bloaty thing.........

Highly recommend right now the 'Wool' triliogy - more dystopian themes akin to The Hunger Games.
-
Well done you!
-
That's fabulous, you must feel so good :)
-
Hey OP, you don't have a large post count so I'll just say - that maybe your approach isn't the healthiest one - that maybe cutting so hard is actually counter productive - that there is a lot of information around about how adequate nutrition is so important, particularly if you want to look 'lean' - that part of looking…
-
Yep, if you do have a binge dust yourself off and move on. I wouldn't restrict as I believe it would set me up for another binge. You might want to investigate mindfulness. A lot of my bingeing happens when I turn my back on one inner voice and start listening to another one - the one that wants me to cram my pie hole full…
-
You look great, well done!
-
You can really tell - well done!
-
Ok - scared. Really really scared about the picture thing - but if we don't do things that scare us how will we ever achieve anything. I'm in please.

Cocktail partay tonight! Let there be huge glasses and teenty tiny umbrellas in abundance! :drinker:

Single - hoo-flippin-ray for that. Not looking, think I've thrown the towel in on relationships to be honest. Anyway single feels fabulous. So not looking, not trawling on this thread for anything other than some rainbow on my friend's list. Add me if you want, I'm pretty up on keeping my diary updated and I post a lot of…

@jmwolffyy - hope you get to meet them and it goes swimmingly - it's always a bit nerve wracking isn't it? I'm sure you will knock 'em dead :smile: @QueenWino - a swim party! So jealous - looking out of my kitchen window it is absolutely bucketing it down. I could be simming on my patio soon if the water doesn't drain…

Pah to stress and panic attacks :smile: The couple I am going to Spain with have been together 22 years :heart:
-
It's all about mixing it up - I'm loving my salads at the minute but that's because I'm on yummy 'Nixy's 3 protein' salads - today was a huge bowl of salad with a hard boiled egg, ham and full fat gorgeous cottage cheese. Lovely.
