He is large all the way up to his chest...he is obese.

Diana's frozen banana dipped in dark chocolate. YUM!!!

Have fun!! Where are you going? We just scheduled our next cruise, the Freedom again (was on it last month) this July with a different itinerary.

Of course! I was an 18 and now I'm an 8-10.

I ended up retesting my 10RM. My numbers were about the same as they were back in December, except my BOR's...they are way lower now.

I think you look better in the 2nd picture...not fluffy, just curvy.

So sad this room isn't active! We are cruising this Saturday~can't wait!!

My husband is obese. I have tried numerous times to get him to workout with me but he's not interested. I have asked him several times to at least try a weight lifting program but he just isn't interested. He does cook healthy most of the time and will occasionally ride his stationary bike but that's about it. We have been…

Thanks!

I'm not sure a lift would work for me, they seem a little deflated...I've been lifting for several months.

Boobs, butt and face , then tummy and neck

I'm 47 and lost 70 lbs last year. It can be done you just have to want it bad enough to stick with it long term. Thanks to the good advice I received here I incorporated weight training and my daughter insists I look better than ever, even at the same weight I was years ago before letting myself go.

I'm cruising Feb 22! Can't wait!!!

Really? First of all, when you're married it should be joint funds. Second, you will need at least that just to buy a new wardrobe.

I ended up doing 4 cycles of All Pro and then switched to StrongLifts.

Looking good!

Yay for getting rid of back fat!! You are doing great!

Yes. I took a diet break for a week and gained 5 lbs. and it's also my TOM. I'm not concerned and am back on track today.

Merry Christmas!

As a newbie, I love this app!!!

I was hoping you would say this!!! :bigsmile: Thanks!

This is fantastic news! I plan to start SL next week.

I decided to take that diet break from now through Christmas because of holiday baking, birthday dinners, etc. Do I eat at maintenance or not count calories at all?

I read you could use his suggested weights or 50% of your 5 rep max. I assume 50% of my 5RM would be less...

Oh, I see. I have had two cruises already since beginning this in Feb. (spring break and summer) I only gained about 5 lbs. on them and lost the weight quickly (a week or two) upon returning home. I didn't binge either time. I think most of my weight gain was from alcohol and desserts. It may seem trivial but I always take…

Yeah, based on what you and Kira suggested, it looks like I should start over. I remember when I thought AP was way too easy and now I struggle all the time. One thing I've learned is that lifting gets extremely difficult when you continue doing it on a deficit!! Looks like I will be eating maintenance over Christmas so…

Yes, AP consists of doing squats, bench press, bent over rows, overhead bb press, and deadlifts...optional are curls which I do and calf raises which I don't. You do them all 3X per week, with a heavy day, medium day (90%) and light day (80%). Week 1 you do 2 sets of 8, week 2 2 sets of 9, etc. up to week 5 when you do 2…

Thank you so much! I think I can handle a diet break from Christmas to New Years since you insist! :bigsmile: Taking one the week before my cruise is scary...I will be wearing a two piece in front of people!! :blushing: But if that's what you two think is best, I will take another diet break then. Thanks again for all your…

Hubby is showing me lots more attention and has been handing out compliments, which is unusual for him.
