I weigh 185. On 12 & 14 pants. Size L shirts.

That's interesting!

Yup!

I needed to see this today. You friggin' rock!!! Thanks for sharing your awesome experience!

Yeah I'm aware that there are other things I can do around here. I do lifts at home so I'm not exactly lacking in exercise. But I was specifically asking about the bike. But thanks for the suggestions! :flowerforyou:

I'm doing that M&S program and it's awesome. Both my husband and I really enjoy it. Good stuff.

Kind of hard to get away from my desk. Figured this would be an easy fix lol Think I might get it anyway...but thanks.

I love mine as well. Great tool!

Great information. Thank you all!!

Houston, Texas here! Dove chocolate is my weakness - though the heat melting the bag on its transport home from store has deterred me from purchasing lots of it :P

Can't believe this didn't even occur to me. And I'm a marketer myself. Doh! My husband and I haven't seriously been thinking of moving though we have spoken about finding a more modern home in the near future. So we do want to move eventually. But I wouldn't want to rush to do it either. And you made a good point I hadn't…

It is pre-printed and has my name and address listed. I'm sure it is a mass mailing for my area. If I were more social - I'd ask my neighbors to see if they received something similar. :tongue: They may have called but I don't answer unknown numbers. No voicemail messages were left though - that I can remember.

That's actually what their website stated they did. Did you ever call to see what they'd offer you? I wasn't really thinking of selling yet and my area is pretty convenient. But who knows...lol

Didn't even think about that. Thanks for the tip. That's probably true.

I did Google and they have a website. They look like a company that buys homes and flips them. But I couldn't find anyone who's actually dealt with them before.

Agreed. But also some people just have stronger odors than others no matter how clean they may have been before.

Hmm...I don't think that a deficit of 20% would be quite right for her being at 139 pounds. Since she's close to her goal weight (if she only wants to lose 8 to 10 pounds), I'd put her under a 10% deficit at most which would give her a calorie goal of 1750. But that's just me...

This would be a good reason for me to consider it. I also want to have legs as strong as possible to be able to squat heavier. I just don't want them (my calves) to get any bigger! :tongue:

Question: Since this topic deals with calves. Do you HAVE to work out calves? I mean, I'm doing all other compound lifts but my calves, thanks to my Dad, already look nice and strong. If I forgo isolated calve exercises, will that be the end of the world?

Great article! Sharing it with my friends - who seem to think only Cardio will get them a body like that. If they only knew....

One of two things can happen. Either she will burn out at that rate - in which case, give her room to find her own suitable routine. Or she will continue to do what she's doing and actually enjoy it. Either way, I don't think this is cause for concern.

Really? Some of you are bound to have terrific people around you! :smile:

Looks very yummy! Thanks for posting!

Try Craigslist. We just purchased a power rack that serves as a bench press and has a lat pull down attachment, came with Olympic barbell and about 265 lbs of weights and the guy threw in a plywood sheet and soft mats for good measure lol And we will be purchasing an e-z curl barbell. All of that (after curl bar purchase)…

Happens to me as well :) Not sure about the science behind it but bumping for curiosity.

Yeah I was noticing that buying plates brand new was not going to cut it - stuff can get expensive quickly! Thanks for your input!! Getting a bit excited now :D
