THIS ^^^ love/hate relationship w/leg day but afterwards i always feel ggrrreaat !! LOL

i could definitely see how if i starting squatting without the the smith machine i'd probably need to take some weight off ...but its all i have access to at the moment ....i'm new to lifting so the stability makes me feel "Safer"

you look absolutely fab - very cute hair !!! thanks for sharing and congrats on all your hard work :drinker:

thanks for sharing and this : "Remember its what we do most of the time, not what we do ALL the time." is the smartest most sensible thing that i've read on MFP !! can't wait to copyright infringe and use it in conversation LOL

in the beginning i barely even told myself - lol - i was tired of "talking about it" to ME , wishing and wanting ....i decided one day that i was going to the gym 5 days a week for 12 wekks - develop the habit - it worked ! then i became one of those people that would "check-in" on facebook when i went to the gym (eyeroll…

^^THIS ....that after the workout meal is soooo good !! LOL

4 months !!! AWESOME work and thanks for sharing - keeps me inspired !

THIS !!! i just bought a session to help with form and now that i'm doing things "right" i have been able to increse the weights on some lifts especially my squats ....he may feel more comfortable taking that direction from the PT

frozen grapes !!

Body Media for me ! i've had it for awhile but thanks to some recent upgrades it now syncs up with MFP - which i think is great and makes it worth the $7 per month fee to use the web-site ! body media works on the TDEE method so no need to do the math because it does it for you , i'm really loving how it "adjust" the bonus…

WORD UP !!

nd one older doc who made creamy chai in a Crock Pot with fresh maple cookies now that sounds good !!!

awesome work !! :drinker:

i've been doing straight cardio for a whole year (loss some weight too) before deciding to start "heavy lifting" ....i think it was natural progression and becoming more educated about what my body can do ! as fitness and TYRING to eat better became a bigger part of my thoughts - you start to read and research what others…

i am literally LOL'ing right now !!!

THIS ^^^^ LMAO - if any one of my friends ever became a pastry chef that would definitely progress the friendship to the "next level" :love: actually - i understand your concerns but i'm thinking about it on a more personal level and how it would affect ME - so i'd probably ask her to NOT ask me to "taste" anything UNLESS…

i wondered about the fact that you hit each muscle group only once week - wondered if it was enough .....i'm going to complete the 12 weeks and develop the "habit" but how would you tweak his schedule ???

i used :Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body by Micheal Mathews ....it details a 12 week program - i'm on week 7 and loving it ....compound lifts really get your waistline together !!

THIS ^^ today i didn't feel like HIIT'ing and just did the eliptical for 30 mins -HIIT for me is : 5 mins warm up then run 1 min at 5.5 mph - then walk for 1 min at 3.3 mph - 10 cycles , after the 5 cycle I get a 2 min walk break and by the 9th run i allow myself to slow down to 4.8 LOL... that normally takes me about 26…

cool thread ...i'm about to download JEFIT !! i need a way to keep up the the weights - thanks !! now that i THINK i really understand TDEE - i'm loving the new body media set up , so much in fact that i'm back to wearing the body bug all day again

keep up the great work !! thanks for sharing and helping me stay motivated !!

i have friends that are smaller than me say they don't like going because they don't want "people looking at them" LOL ...i've tried to assure them that NO ONE CARES !!! once you are in the throws of your workout you don't have time to be looking at people - hell i'm concentrating on breathing and NOT passing out !

works for me too !! LOL everyday i'm hustlin !!

VERY inspiring !!! thanks for sharing !!

LOL...luv it !!! now thats a NSV

my guy is "trying" to become more aware of his food choices but he hasn't jumped on the train like i think he should ...but he has been very supportive of me - hell he should be because i'm blaming my weight gain on him LOL - all that eating out , drinking ,and cuddling !! he supports me by NOT getting in the way of my gym…
