I just did the one in Chicago on Saturday. It was a lot of fun but I fell down while walking up a very steep muddy hill and could not stand back up. I kept losing my footing and it didn't help that it was pouring down rain. It is fun but I'm still a little sore and have a huge bruise on my knee and elbow. We did it as a…

I also have a pancake booty so I'm on day 9 of the 30 day squat challenge and hoping to incorporate them into my workout

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 I was in the same boat as you and a lot of MFP users told me to read this. It explained a lot to me.

Yeah, I had no clue about what I should be eating when I first started and was set at 1200. Good luck!

I'm surprised that no one has told you to read the in place of a road map thread yet.

I just took half of one with lunch and plan on taking the other half with dinner

We have potlucks a lot and I try not to participate because I'll eat meatballs, brownies, chips and dip and all kind of other food I shouldn't eat or if I do eat should eat in moderation lol

Thank you! I will try those.

I skipped on day 5 on an accident (I forgot after my rest day too) but kept on with day 6 so I don't know if I'm going to take a rest day later or what

I love your nose ring.

bahahaha is this really your KIK?! I freaking love it

I started today so we'll see

Thank you!

Even the trainers at the gym have told me low weight/high reps but it's true I've been doing that for 3 months and do see results but not as much as I should.

Thank you for the inspiration!

I have very poor upper body strength so 15 pounds on the shoulder press is a lot to me I will try more tonight though and continue with my squat challenge

Agreed.

The west side is the best side! Kalamazoo here

Why has everyone always told me low weight/high reps?! haha I'm going to try this at the gym tomorrow

How heavy is heavy?

Thank you all.

I guess I really don't understand the SL5x5 program. I'm fairly new to strength training =/

I've been doing them in a row but am thinking by the end I'll want to split them up.

I agree but I still drink SF Redbull sometimes or just a Redbull.

Thank you. I've been doing cardio and strength training to try to get rid of this fat around my midsection and thighs hopefully this starts to help my thighs and butt

I started and ouchhhh

Thank you for the encouragement

I like to buy a big GhirardelliSea Salt Soiree bar and just have the serving size of 3 squares. It lasts longer and helps my cravings.

Someone with classic good looks. All American boy type.

I'm starting soon!
