same with your glutes!!

I'm doing both! before SL running was never been easy for me - I could finish 5K sometimes but it was slow and it almost killed me every time. I had to stop running for a few weeks after starting SL because my legs would get super tired really fast but I did elliptical cardio instead. Now that I've started running again,…

I've been doing it for about two months and i love it! I go to powerlifting classes at a lifting-oriented gym near me a couple times a month to get tips on form and general guidance. If you can find something similar in your area, I would recommend looking into it. The feedback has helped me break through some stalls.

I have two: 1. After a week away from the gym due to a nasty cold I had to unexpectedly travel for the weekend, which meant even more time off. I was feeling gross and bloated and discouraged. But for the first time I can remember, I didn't feel self conscious about my weight when flying. I didn't feel like the fat person…

eggs and fish!

I have a few: 1. There's a guy that I see at my gym who doesn't use any of the equipment but instead just dances and weirdly punches the air to the music on his iPod in between the weight machines. He's extremely energetic and it looks like he's getting a great workout but I'm not sure why he pays for the gym when he could…

This sounds like a great breakfast for the drive to work! Thanks!

This is my magic breakfast: 6 oz. plain Greek yogurt .75 cups of Fiber One original cereal half a teaspoon-ish of honey. 240cal: 35g of carbs, 1g of fat, 31g of protein, 8g of fiber. It makes a huge, super filling portion Edit: I just realized you weren't actually asking for ideas....but high fiber and protein usually…

Hi! I had almost the same stats and age as you when I started and I was a little shocked as well. My BMR right now is around 1700. I also burn about 600 cals every day. Honestly, I usually don't even eat my BMR and I rarely eat back my exercise calories. I know that I could eat more and still see results, but I really cant…

I feel your pain. I have weirdly huge calves (thanks a lot, dad). It's a little annoying but I've come to terms with the fact that I'm just gonna have to learn to accept buying wide-calf boots. And learn to be thankful that I'm naturally strong, which does come in handy.

beer.

1. Move more 2. Eat less 3. Water 4. Sleep 5. Pizza

YES.

I would give iron supplements a shot. Whenever I'm having a crappy, tired day I still make myself go to the gym but I give myself permission to only do half of what I usually do. Usually I end up doing a whole workout anyway because I want to make getting off my butt worth it.

I basically live off greek yogurt. If you're looking for a lower-sugar breakfast I would suggest giving it a shot. You can basically mix anything into it - nuts, fruit, cereal, anything. I also has a ton a protein which is always a plus.

I'm a nerd for numbers so I actually weigh myself several times every day. The only one I count is the morning weight but I just think it's interesting to watch my weight fluctuate throughout the day. My lowest weight of the day is usually after getting home from the gym. Like other people have said, I don't really have an…

I lost 30 lbs a little over a year ago and near the end a ton of clothes in my closet started fitting better. Then I gained 20 of those pounds back and they stopped fitting again :( well they all fit again!! and this time I'm not stopping. Soon they will all be too big.

what corp did you march with??

Feeling like you're obsessing over numbers will get easier once you learn which foods fit best into your calories and macros. Soon you'll have better eating habits established so you wont even have to think twice about most of the things you eat!

Instead of a stereotypical "detox" you could try eating super clean for 10 days. About a year ago I decided to eat only vegetables and lean protein for two weeks. It helped me realize that I don't really need all the sugary, oily garbage I thought I craved. After the two weeks were up, I ate whatever I wanted again, but I…

I completely know what you're talking about. I used to eat a late breakfast or no breakfast at all when I was in school because sitting in class for hours gave me little distraction from how starving I was when I ate when I woke up. One thing I did do that allowed me to eat when I woke up and not die of hunger was to eat…

Roasted!! Wash, cube, toss with some olive oil and seasoning. Basic salt and pepper are delicious, but rosemary, garlic, or a little Parmesan cheese are good options as well. Not sure about cooking times because I usually don't cook carby things for myself by i'm sure you can find a recipe. My mom used to make this all the…

Eat the entire thing straight from the can at 2am while standing in front of the open fridge.

MFP calculates your deficit based on your base metabolic rate, which is the number of calories you burn every day without exercise. for example, if your BMR is 2000 calories a day and you want to lose 1 pound a week, you need a daily deficit of 500 calories. So, MFP will tell you to eat 1500 calories a day. If you then go…

adding you :)

Greek yogurt mixed with Kashi Go Lean original and a drizzle of honey. Tons of protein and fiber.

Almost 22! I had great success on this site almost a year ago but then I lost track a bit due to a crazy yet amazing few months. Looking to get back into it. Add me!!

I started running at 250 a couple months ago!! What really helped me was interval programs (i'm using c25k, but there are tons out there). It helped my body get used to running slowly. Also don't run every day - your leg muscles and joints will need to get stronger and they'll need some rest. Also I would advise not…

air tight bag + lemon juice will do the trick. BUT if it does turn brown you can still use it. It's just oxidation and won't hurt you one bit. Also the brown only goes down like and 8th of an inch. I usually just scrape the brown parts off (just cause they look gross) with a spoon.
