Don't worry things will change. It seems light now but the weight increases quickly.

my progress so far: Squats -135 lbs OHP 73 lbs (this one is HARD), Dead Lifts - 135 lbs (Easy thinking about starting to increase by 10 lbs instead of 5 lbs next time) Rows - 90 lbs (this is difficult too) Bench Press - 85 lbs The OHP is a BEAR!!! I tried to do 75 lbs (got it up 2 or 3 times) but I knew I couldn't keep it…

I make fruit smoothies with my protein powder. I use frozen fruit, 1 cup of vanilla soy milk and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. It really tastes great. The fruit mix I use has papaya, pineapple and strawberrys in it. I believe it is called tropical smoothie fruit so something like that.

Well this is my third week of 5x5 and here is what I have done so far. Squats - 90 lbs Bench - 65 lbs Rows - 85 lbs OHP - 55 lbs (this one is hard sometimes my elbow hurts...not sure why) Dead lift - - 90 lbs I am lifting tonight so Squats and Dead lift will increase by 5 lbs for sure. Now the OHP is a different story. I…

When I first started loosing weight it was the opposite. I was wearing a smaller pants size first because the arms on the smaller shirts were tight,

Feel free to add me.

I would like to join the group

I havent been able to sign up for the beta. I keep getting an error message. I tried the fix that they suggested but it still didn't work. I guess I will just have to wait for the real version to come out.

I am just starting to lift but I would like to be your friend. I know anyone with legs like that has to be serious about what they are doing.

Is all of that going fast and jerking really necessary? I didn't think that you were supposed to jerk. Aren't the moves supposed to be smooth so that you don't pull something?

I find it very easy to get off track on the weekend as well. During the work week there is a routine so I tend to stay on track. I am going to use this weekend to get my exercise routine back in order (I have been slacking since I went on vacation). 1. I will set goals and decide on a work out plan for the fall 2. Make a…

If they are too long maybe you should try petite. Petite pants should be shorter.

Thanks to OP for the question and thanks to everyone else for the answers. I am also new here but I have been doing Body Pump for a while and I was thinking that the weight seemed light as well. Now I am not planning to start until next week so I could be wrong. Also, I am not exactly sure if Body Pump is considered…

I would like to join. I need a little push right now.

Hi I'm new to this group. I am hoping that this will be a great place to get some information. I have been doing Body Pump for a while but I am not sure that this is really considered lifting (seems more like cardio). I like the class but I am really looking to tone up and I want to get some information, help and support…

I am new to the group but I am here.

I live in the Metro Detroit Area and I am looking for some local friends.

My plateau has not been quite 3 years but it has been very long. I lost close to 40 lbs 2 years ago and I was stuck at 158.8 (159) for over a year. I mean really stuck no movement at all. Then I thought well if I get my weight to go up then I can work it back down. It took me about six months and it seems like all once I…

I know that I am late but I would like to join.

I have noticed that a lot of people post encouraging comments for people who come in under their calorie goal. I thought that the goal was to at least eat at your net calorie goal. I think that so many of us have learned that food is bad and that is why eating under your goal is looked upon as a great thing. Hopefully this…

I am trying to find a balance with this. When my net goal was only 1200 then I would all of my calories. The problem was that when I exercised I would not eat back those calories. This turned into a big problem. Now I have increased my net calories to 1500 and try to atleast get a net of 1200 ever day. This seems to help…

I agree with the comments that have already been posted. First I think that you should talk to someone to figure out what is causing this behavior. Until you can come to terms with what is triggering this you should go back to your alloted calories and move on. Not eating the next day is just as bad as the binge. Your body…

Yes to all 4.

Thanks for posting this question. I don't think that I am eating enough either. I am going to try upping my calories and see what happens. It can't be worse that being stuck at the same weight for over 6 months.

I would like to be your friend. I have not figured out how to add people yet so please add me as a friend.

You can add me. I am new as well so it would be great to have some friends.
