"Big and beautiful" sure does have a new meaning, doesn't it? Nothing on that woman on the left looks "beautiful". I knew a woman who was happy to maintain her 220+ figure. Why?! I've always wanted to lose weight for aesthetic reasons. This totally bumped that mindset into wanting to accomplish my goals for health reasons.…

And some generally look at you funny if you don't get the shot. When people find out I don't get the shot here, they actually say I'm selfish to not do so. :huh:

I've never gotten the flu shot and have never gotten the flu *knock on wood*. I don't see why I need to start now :ohwell: But that's just me...

If you're moving around that much daily, you should be burning a lot of calories as it is. Try just eating less.

Wow - and the owner just watched? I would've punched her out after the dogs were squared away. Some frightening stories here. I, too, was almost attacked by a pack of German Shepherds when I was walking my puppy. One dog leaped over a fence and ran full force toward us. I stopped in fear - guess I panicked. The owner…

I'd rather eat a "dirty" Big Mac. :bigsmile:

You might want to brush up on your literature about generational changes in the workplace. Gen Y is such a funny little generation - we get a kick out of them.

My 2 go-to snacks packed with protein: Greek Yogurt, some kind of fruit, granola and 1/2 scoop protein powder = approx 40-50 grams of protein (look at my diary for the other macros) Cottage cheese, fruit = 11 grams of protein Yummy in my tummy!

Same here. :happy: Feel free to add me. Lifting is my drug :wink:

Doesn't bother me a bit. In fact, the hairier, the better ;) I like my men, to be MEN. None of this, "oh I need to get waxed" kinda shizz...

QFT Think about it. If you're having issues with him possibly going along with his mother's wishes, think how much harder it will be if you two actually get married. Go to counseling and really get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, you're in for a bumpy ride with a mama's boy (eek).

I take a nap in my car every single day. Helps with my productivity ;)

Good stuff!

I've been wanting to post a topic like this for a while now lol Thanks friend! :P I'm a lifter too - add me as well! :)

I go by set grams not percentages. So it adds on extra grams of each macro with increased exercise. I don't want that.

2 poached eggs on toast with 2 sausage links and 2 slices of bacon. And some juice :) It was yummy!

Bump for later - good stuff!

Got my stuff on Craigslist. Found a squat rack/bench/lat pull down set up with barbell and 200# of plates for $200. We bought a curl bar to complete our ensemble. I saw a deal that included dumbbells as well for $250 but that one sold fast.

I've tried the Lean Shakes once upon a time. While they are the tastiest I've had, I'm used to getting at least 20 g from a shake or bar. The more the better in my opinion.

To look good naked.

I always look for the most bang for your buck. Low cals and carbs, really high protein. Body Fortress is cheap and has 30 g of protein. I mix it with water most of the time but also have used skim milk and added banana or other type of fruit.

Since you're strength training M W and F, I'd do Total Body compound lifts. If you wanted to do isolated lifts, you could do them more often (working each area once a week).

I'm 5'3 and my goal is to be 140 (or ripped, whichever comes first) :)

Yep I feel the same. It's the photos that kind of make me really see how I am. But in the mirror even, I see an average looking girl...sometimes even thin (when I suck in my stomach). Ha! But the scale and measurements tell a different story. :\
