Brill-i-ANT! You go girl!

This was my thought. Do you split the household chores equally? If not, then maybe it's time to suggest that he's going to have to do more. A few weeks of this might persuade him that moving to weekly cleaning is a good idea :smile:

GOTH! Over 25 years years ago, you can't actually see my face for the intense crimpifying and back combing that had gone on........

Nice one Lorina, it's stuff like that now which feels really exciting :happy: Was struggling like mad tonight with my OHP at a ridiculously low weight :blushing: so went to the Rippetoe video - and yup, my form sucked. My grip was too wide for a start. The hip thing makes sense, feels a bit awkward but felt better, sure…

I have this vision of the inner circle being some sweaty jock filled circle jerk type affair - SL doesn't strike me as woman friendly at all. I think you'd be tolerated at best. Of course, I could be being horribly ungenerous but I'd rather not waste the cash....

Looking great, love your updates :)

The more I eat quinoa the more I love it. And like couscous the flavour comes from what you pair it with. Nutritionally quinoa kicks coucous' *kitten*.

Happy November everyone - another great workout last night, does it sound odd to say I'm looking forward to getting to weights where I fail? :laugh:

Brilliant, you look absolutely amazing :)

This ^^^^^^^ I am hugely pear shaped, it's all in my *kitten* and my legs with a saggy belly on the top and I'm only at the start of my journey but this is what is working for me. - Diet is crucial. I'm eating 80/20 primal - so lots and lots of protein and veggies, hardly any refined carbs - but carbs are there from the…

This week I moved out all my size 16 (UK) work skirts and moved in my size 14s *bounce* - it feels fantastic! And the size 12s are sat there waiting for me, calling my name, they are getting impatient to come out and play again :laugh: The great thing about going down a size and wearing clothes that fit is that you look…

Incredible transformation, well done :)

Start of week 2 for me - nothing to report about last night's workout apart fromt the fact I LOVE SQUATS! I was talking to my 18 YO who started lifting a couple of months ago and he said the best thing he did for OHP was to really, really tighten his core so I tried this last night and it made a hella difference. Still on…

Nope, don't. Like everyone else has said get yourself to bodybuilding.com - loads of info Check out New Rules of Lifting OR Stronglifts 5x5 groups on here - to be fair there a ton of different starter weight programs around. Pretty much all of them emphasise LOWER REPS and HEAVIER WEIGHTS for best results. You'll be…

Pick your fave restaurant then Food Genie could make the menu there have the same calorie value as celery, win!

I'd make everything that Greggs (a UK bakery chain) sell have max 100 calorie count with 40/30/30 macro split - I could then shove my face full of sausage rolls, steak bakes and coffee creme doughnuts! :bigsmile:

Pugs - specifically mine but generally all pugs, happiest of happy dogs Cooking - specifically batch cooking, I feel satsified if the freezer is full A good book that stays with me A good glass of red wine (I don't love this as often as I used to!) My son A bargain! Taking a vegetable peeler and peeling slivers of parmesan…

A plate of spaghetti bolognaise AND I didn't clean it up :devil:

You look amazing, both of you. Congratulations!

I had a really random breakfast this morning and it was gorgeous! Quinoa, cherry tomatoes, rep peppers, red chilli and tuna salad! It was 5 minutes before I had to leave for work so I basically threw everything that could be thrown into a box and left. Breakfast doesn't have to be breakfasty :smile:

Does it have to be breakfasty? I had a quinoa and tuna salad for my breakfast at my desk this morning - super nom - filling but felt really healthy :)

Strength and suppor from over here in the UK - I'll be waiting to see you all online safe and sound XX

Yep, I'm in, had already decided to do this in conjunction with lifting and EMTWL - haven't weighed in for a week, have taken my measurements and am settling down for a strong, positive November :)

Well done you!

HURRAH!

Brilliant, you look amazing, well done!

Check out the Eat More to Weigh Less group on here - a wealth of information there about eating more calories based on your BMR and TDEE. And if that doesn't make sense, that's ok because they explain it all.

Amazing, you look fabulous :)

Hello! I've only been doing it a week so I'm a noob too :smile: but it's seriously the most addictive thing ever! I lift at home by myself so I'm super nervous about form etc - I just make sure that until each lift comes naturally - squats are there, the rest are taking a bit longer - I refresh myself before I do them and…
