So good to see where everyone is at! It's been about 2 months since this group began and I'm loving how supportive it's been through the MFP diaries! I've hit my lowest weight the first time in the last 6 years at 127lbs! Other than that, went home, came back, and I'm back at 129lbs but it's still within the fluctuation…

Hey all! I just got back up on Intstagram :3 http://instagram.com/sofaias

This is great! 1) I broke through my first stall! I failed my bench press at 45lbs twice. By the 3rd time, I was able to complete 5x5 :D Woop to the 50lbs next! 2) I tossed half a tub of icecream. You damn read that right I was able to throw out ICECREAM. It was left over after my dad's visit, and one afternoon I found…

Congrats for hitting the 200lbs soon! Along with the other comments, I think it depends of what your goals are. I'm trying to lose weight (or lose fat, according to http://stronglifts.com/weight-loss-vs-fat-loss-are-you-sure-you%E2%80%99re-losing-fat/ :), so I eat 1200 cals and do some cardio right after the recommended…

Aside from my own warm-up, I follow the StrongLifts 5x5 program. It's pretty awesome, and MFP has a group for it too! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/4601-stronglifts-5x5-for-women

Interesting! My principles is that I'll eat anything I want as long as it's within my weekly caloric goal. That usually leads to adjusting my food plans, especially if I decide that I want to eat some brownies or steak some nights. It also means that my snack/treat portions are small, unless I plan in advance (i.e.,…

One more thing - - last one i promise lol Here's a video of the full workout by the StrongLift enthusiasts. He films himself without any breaks to show how the rest time is supposed to work. This video helped me most! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpTEaSO-9MCPlXf_VY7gatw

Haha sorry! The good news is, you'll pick it up fast, within a couple weeks of reading (I only started mid month last month!) I learn by doing things, and in the beginning, reading the stuff didn't help me either. I essentially just picked the program Strong lifts and ran with it. Here's exactly what I did: Step 1.…

I just started weight lifting about a couple weeks ago! I'm following Strong Lift 5x5 (stronglifts.com), but this forum: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/4618-stronglifts-5x5-for-women Has a really nice intro tailored for women http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary Good luck!

O hey! That pic reminds me of this little gallery I saved a while back: http://imgur.com/a/TZoKM :)))))

I'm a total noob myself - - Just started 5x5 Stronglifts 2 weeks ago! I'd suggest posting your question to http://www.reddit.com/r/xxfitness/ since they have a much broader female audience than this forum. Good luck!!

I think I have the same pair... and I squat in them LOL Oh wellz. I've been squatting with running shorts from Target too. For bra, I just get the sports bra from Costco, but I stuff a small piece of handkerchief, soft paper tissue or small ankle sock between my boobs because my wide-ish inter-boob-space sweat a lot and…

Thanks for the brand of cider! I'll be on the look out for it. My go-to beer is budwiser light lol

I don't eat back. Shedding the lbs is the amount of calories eaten per day being LESS than the basal calories (how much calories one's body uses without doing anything for a whole day). Exercises help keeping that basal calories, otherwise, your basal calories will adjust and become lower if you eat less. Exercises by…

LOL log that, and move on. Today's a new day!

Mine is 1200 since I work out only 3-4 times. Realistically though, I think I eat 1350 ish. Soup, salad, fruits are eaten kinda without restrain. I love zuchini, brocoli, onion, iceberg lettuce, tomato, baked kale chips, mushrooms, bell peppers, asparagus, For Proteins, chicken breaks, tilapia filet n tofu are my staples…

For breakfast, I do either "coffee + small bite" or "normal cereal w milk or yogurt" about 50-50 of the time. I like breakfast and don't sweat how much I eat each time as long as I plan ahead I eat within my calories. As a joke though, I heard that your body shape could reflect the proportion of food eaten at each meal: A…

Welcome aboard!

Can't upvote in MFP forum, so I guess I'll just do a shout-out of the shameless fact that WE ARE ALL WORKING FOR THEM ABS AND THEM BUTTS lol Little group went from 20ish to 70 members in a span of about 8 hours XD I can't believe it!! This is awesome though. What's the orange theory group?? London?? How nice! I heard the…

On mobile, it's in Settings> Diary Settings> Diary Sharing Set it either to Public or Friends Only. I have it at public. I prefer to have nothing to hide so i don't have any excuses Also, what's PPL?
-
If you'd be ok with it, I find that opening up my diary makes me more accountable 'cause they can see that i ate that marshmallow of 100cals, for instance.
-
This is awesome! I'd add a methods section as well. Also, unfortunately mobile version of MFP doesn't have forum options. But I'll try keeping up with the forum by logging into MFP on my laptop more often. Goal: 120ish. - I want to look smaller as well (wow the massiel arias pics are amazing!). A few more concrete stuff: -…
