I have lupus- and I totally get it. I've been just pushing through, and it has actually made things better. Once I was able to get a good routine going, I even went off my meds with only one small flareup in the last 6 months. I've been to a yoga studio that has a class called 'Yoga for Broken People', which is for people…

I'd say try the Silhouettes....a little more old school on the insertion, but I like them
-
what set are you using? I've always used silhouettes, which go in at an angle for such issues

I try to do a variety of classes mixed with my weights. I pretty much never use the cardio machines. I will do kickboxing, cross training (TRX, kettlebells, medicine ball in one class), boot camp, spin, yoga in addition to my 3x weekly 5x5 plan.

A good long walk can do wonders for sore muscles. I'd say maybe on your rest day going forward, if you find yourself sore, take a nice walk. Get your muscles moving. It will help

I use dumbells and the Olympic bar with plates

As a native, I would say don't eat anywhere around Times Square! If you head west to Hell's Kitchen, I love Pio Pio at 44th and 10th, Briciola at 51st and 9th For good cheesecake, I say go to the Upper East Side to 2 Little Red Hens

I have lupus, but have always been the person who falls asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow!

I've recently switched up my routine Monday: kickboxing Tuesday: Strong lifts follwoed by HIIT Thursday: kickboxing Friday: Strong lifts Sunday: Strong lifts followed by Spin

I let myself enjoy special occasions- some more than others. I may allow myself a few drinks at a birthday party, but I decided to have fun at my sister's Bachelorette and did not track- which I will also do at her wedding. But, this amounted to 1 full day and 3 'kind of' cheats in almost 90 days. I went to a birthday…

Great job! And cute shoes in that last shot!

5'-3", 141.6 lb Bust: 36 Wasit: 28 Hips: 38 My understanding is that the waist to hip ratio is important with regards to visceral fat...the higher the ratio, the better

When I started, I would change AT WORK and go straight to the gym. If I went home, I would just sit on the couch!
-
Yeah, unfortunately, I often times make it to the gym just in time for class from work. I could possible get lifiting in on Monday (workout B- Shoulder Press) before kickboxing. Tuesday I could definitely get in workout C (bench press- my husband does this class with me and could be my spot if I wanted) before…

Yeah- typically 5 days at the same gym. 5-3-1 sounds like a good option

turning 32 this summer! feel free to add

Logging definitely makes me look at things and see if they are worth it. Also, it allows me to adjust my eating later in the day to better hit my macros/micros

I think it often does have to do with your body shape. I am 5'-3" and weigh in the 141 range right now. I am a perfect hourglass and am rather chesty. I wear a size 4/small...sometimes even XS. I know plenty of people my height who weight less or around what I weigh and wear 8/10 in the same clothing.

Have you tried to add some more carbs in pre workout? Or the day before if you are doing early AM lifts? I have noticed that when I lift on the weekend, and just do a Quest bar pre gym, I feel weak. like really weak. My sister's fiance, who does MMA in his spare time and is a NYC firefighter (bottom line- really strong…

I will say, the best thing I did was to go with just 1 friend first and try lots of things on. This way, we could narrow down shapes and styles. Then, we involved mom, sister, etc once I had an idea of what style I was searching for and went back a second and third time without the drama of hating things. Also, bridal…

I honestly typically get really, really hungry for maybe 2 days. I've read that your body can burn around 100 extra calories in the few days around this, so I try to keep it at my goal, but occassionally I go over (but still under maintenance). I try not to go for the sweets, or if I do, I go for a mini dark chocolate bar…

U throw some Gorilla Munch in my Magic Bullet and use that. Gives my turkey loaf a slightly sweeter (corn) taste

I hate the lines, so I wear what I wore to work- usually Hanky Panky thongs (which are super comfy)

I have heard good things about the Moving Comfort ones. I am a 32DD and have had success with the Champion Show Off bra for kickboxing.

I travel for work a lot, and I just get some packages of individual servings to take with me. They cost a bit more, but are more convenient- http://www.amazon.com/Whey-Protein-Isolate-Chocolate-Packet/dp/B0040QQIMO/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_text_y I also took these to Iceland this winter with no issue

I am 5'-3", 142.6 lb right now. My weight has not moved, but I have dropped almost 10% body fat in the last 8 months. It is nice to see a change, but I have not seen the scale move and that is so frustrating. My goal was 125/130 OR 20-22% body fat. I am an hourglass shape, and have a relatively large chest and hips As a…

It is definitely a tool, but really my BMI went from 25.7 to 25.3, but my body fat percentage dropped by almost 10% in the same time frame (8 months). I lost 13.25 lb of fat and gained 10.25 lb of lean muscle. But I only lost 3 lb on the scale. So someone is going to tell me I am just a teeny bit healthier than I was…
