Thank you for your feedback! I am going under the muscle but without the lift. I hope my recovery is fast!

That's encouraging! Thank you!

That's awesome. Thank you so much for the info!!!

Holy cow! Would you say it was worth it?

I would recommend a heart rate monitor to more accurately gauge what you are burning when you workout. I think you might be surprised. When I started to wear my HRM, I noticed the calorie expenditures assigned to activities on MFP were off by quite a bit. I can easily burn 850 cals with two hours of vigorous weight lifting…

LOL

Agreed. -_-

Read the entire thread genius, and then comment. I typed the thread from my phone and thanks to auto correct, word predictor, and fat fingers I botched the phrase along with the "then" and "than". It didn't happen twice. I would be happy to give you a hug

You are also beautiful, so that could be it. *****Disclaimer****** I said "COULD* lol

I like your train of thought. Thought provoking

I know you don't know me, but I WAS fat. My mother is obese...actually my entire family is obese and so was I at one point in time. I am not so confident and egotistical as to say I will never be overweight, or obese, again so to assert that I am prejudice or discriminating is almost laughable. You do have a point though,…

You are awesome :laugh:

You are a sexy b*&^%

I wish I could say it is all in my head, hence, the question posed. If it were in my head, it would make it a lot easier for me to see this world as a better place. However, if you read all of the posts, this is not the only example I gave. There are several. Nevertheless, the men always stop to allow me to cross and there…

Thank you for your grammatical tips. After I posted and reread, the "than" and "then" became apparent to me. With regard to the phrase, that was my blonde coming through :wink: . Now, with regard to your opinion I have to say that because you are a man you're less likely to have a creditable opinion on the matter LOL. I'm…

I can relate to you. Really. I am short and stalky, no matter what I weigh. I will never look like either side of iconic beauty spectrum, whether it be Marilyn Monroe or Heidi Klum. We can only work with what the good Lord gave us and call it a day.

I agree that women are rude to women, period. However, I am undeniably and emphatically confident that there is a trend that did not exist before I was at the weight I am now. You could just as easily say that "people are rude to people, period" - which would be a true statement - and that racism (which is very real) was…

Amen sister. That is a fact

All really great feedback and I can relate with everything everyone has posted - except the hating everybody post LOL. When I was fat, I admired thinner women. I mean, obviously. I quite literally worked my butt off to be a thinner woman. I admit, I was jealous of the women who didn't have to work hard for their figures.…

Your body needs sufficient calories to run efficiently, especially if you are exercising. If your body has been in starvation mode, dont be alarmed if you gain a pound or two right off the bat. It will be a result of your body's way of preparing for the "starvation" it has grown accustomed to. However, with sufficient and…

You cold easily eat 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound in body weight with very positive effects on the maintenance or growth of lean muscle mass, depending how you workout. However, I would recommend taking a fiber supplement if you are taking in large quantities of protein. This will assist in the digestion

COULD NOT AGREE MORE! EAT!!! Have a free for all day every week! AND drink a gallon of water a day :)

If you want to be lean and fit - eat your body weight in grams of protein every day. Women cannot get buff and bulky without the assistance of chemicals. If you look any Victoria Secrets Super Models diet (not bulky or buff physiques), or read any health and fitness nutritional articles, you will soon discover that protein…

you will find a million experts who say lower reps, higher weight. On the contrary, you will find a million experts who say higher reps with lower weight. I personally didn't have an ounce of muscle on me when I started my fitness journey six months ago, 30lbs heavier. With that being said, what has worked for me is…
