I have been powerlifting for just under 12 months competed in my first sanctioned competition last month. Would love some powerlifting mfp friends

I did my first 5k on the weekend as well and my time is almost exactly the same as yours :) I was the same I normally run in the morning when its cool the 30 degrees threw me off

I have decided recently to have a vegetarian style meal a week, because I fear I am not getting enough veges. I have grilled mushrooms, satay veges, roast vegetable lasagane. I got all of my ideas from this website (http://www.weighitup.com.au/recipes?Search=&tagVegetarian=1&Page=1) That link goes straight to the…

Satay Veges!

I was a bit apprehensive at first, but I went to my first one 3 weeks ago, hung at the back but I rather enjoyed it, I was stuffed afterwards though! Just give it a go if feeling uncomfortable is your problem go to the back of the class, or if you are worried your not up to it physically just remember you can't get better…

What i decided to do was alternate days between my cardio and strength, because I know that chances of me getting out of bed early enough to fit in a work out in the morning before work is 0. Some of the gym classes I have gone to incorparte yoga as part of the cool down maybe you could do that?

I know how hard it is to keep to a schedule. If your good at getting up in the morning maybe decide which if the workouts are your most important for the day and do that one in the morning so that way if something does get in the way of the afternoon workout you have at least done the one you really wanted to do. Maybe you…

I'm a beginner runner I have been only doing it for a few months now, and I'm proud to say I was able to do my first continued run for 20 mins yesterday. I have my first 5 Km run in a months time so I'm hoping to run that without stopping!

I felt the same I wanted to run on the road rather then the treadmill for the last 6 weeks but I couldn't bring myself to do it until last weekend, and by the end of the 40 mins I didn't know what I was worried about. Because I went first thing in the morning I saw maybe 5 cars and I did pass prob 6 people who were…

I moved out last year when I was 22 I bought a house with my boyfriend. My tip is whilst you are still living at home start a glory box and buy all the little bits and pieces like towels and bed sheets kitchen utensils, plates and etc. It makes it better when you move out so you don't have a heap to buy at once, and don't…

23 anyone can add me

The minimum you should be eating is 1200 calories. Without exercising your body will burn just by being. If you are exercising and burning say 500 calories a day I would suggest eating back half of those calories so your eating 1450. So simply eat at least 1200 a day to lose weight if your are a non active in your job and…

I was in the same boat, I was working out 6 days a week and tracking my calories and wasn't losing a single kilo but everyone was telling me they could tell I had lost weight. I hadn't measured myself but my tight jeans are no longer tight so I'm assuming I lost cm's. That was 2 weeks ago, I actually increased what I was…

I didn't know how to log it for ages until a friend found it on hers! But as jcolier said its listed a strength training

Slim Secrets they do bars, chips, fit balls and cookies.. I love their salt and vinegar chips and never feel guilty afterwards!

Try Weighitup.com.au they have tonnes of recipes and plenty of dairy free ones as well. Just select that option when you are searching recipes.

I am at the end of week 5 at the moment and just like you I thought I was going to die that first week! But it does get easier! Just keep at it, go at a speed that allows you to have a conversation with someone. I didn't do any running scarcely exercised before I started C25K. I never thought I would get to week 5 but you…

My rewards vary... My last reward I bought a pair of shoes I had been eyeing off ( I got them on sale too!). Then it was to find a reason to wear those shoes so I went out with a girlfriend. I have done what I call healthy rewards, my friend and I pick an "organic"cafe or restaurant and go and try it out.

I have been looking a get a HRM. But I ended up so confused!!

If you have access to a gym you could also do your own strength program. I use a lot of free weights which has helped heaps with toning! In regards to the classes I always struggled at first but they get easier as you keep going.

I Need new friends too only fairly new and would like a better support network add me if you want too..

W5D2 Today I'm actually looking forward to day 3. As scary as it seems if I can do that I will be super proud of myself and will have to go out and celebrate. If I don't do all 20 mins I think I'll still celebrate, 5 weeks ago I would never have thought I could run 2 mins let alone 20 mins straight with out falling in a…

I was doing the same thing over the weekend cutting trees down and lugging them away I logged it under gardening.

If I find myself wanting to stay at home on the couch with chips or chocolate. I promise myself I can but that treat after I have been at they gym and done that days workout. I find buy the end of my workout I feel much better about the day and no longer need that chocolate or I'm that red in the face I feel to embarrassed…

[/quote] My gym has one of those. Is it safe to use this without a spotter? That's why I opted to use the Smith Machine. I thought it looked "safer". I also didn't even realize until tonight that there was anything wrong with it. I used it for squats, BP, and OHP. [/quote] I agree I thought the smith machine was the safer…

He is obviously so jealous because he let someone like you slip through his fingers!

Since food seems to be covered. What exercises would you enjoy doing? I have a mix of things, I go to a dance class that I enjoy, I do weights, I run on the treadmill. I enjoy doing these so I stick to them. If your not sure what you would like try a range of things.
