Yep you can keep doing what you're doing, the only thing I change up is the after ovulation I don't drink until TOM comes, aside from that you're good to go. Another good idea is to go on pre-natal vitamins before you get preggers. The way I see it, is during this time I'm focusing on getting my body healthy for a hopeful…

See a doctor, get as much blood work done as possible , if you think this is something serious find someone who will take you seriosuly. No one here can tell you if/what is wrong, they do not have access to your health records, or blood work. Aside from all that, get yourself a high calorie protein shake, from your…

13 pounds is huge, and I can tell you lost weight even in your belly!. Those ads are Photoshop, ignore them. If you go to success stories here, you'll find realistic successes, that took a long time to achieve. Also some people loose weight in their belly last, I'm one of them. You've just got to take your time, and not…

I know you are probably sick of hearing that you're young, but that's pretty much it. Here's a little story for ya, my husband and I have known each other for about 13 years, we met when we were both in grade 10. We had HUGE crushes on each other but never did anything about it, except for once he was going to ask me out,…

I highly recommend stronglifts... there is a group on here of woman who follow it who are EXTREMELY helpful. I am new to it as well but they are great for helping with form, or any questions. It's fairly easy to get started, I have almost no upper body strength but am definitely finding myself progressing with it, although…

I think there is a huge difference between causation and correlation, and people get confused. A lot of people just starting out on a "healthy living" change, or diet will do diet pills , they will take them at the same time as their big kick start to eating healthy and exercising. All of a sudden they think the diet pills…

You don't seem to have a MASSIVE amount to loose, I would expect .5-1 pound a week lose. The first couple weeks everyone gets really really excited (myself included) because there is a tendency to loose a good chunk there, but that is not sustainable. If you want this to be a long term solution, than you've got to be in it…

When I was working out at my office gym years ago,super mall gym. On my lunch I was on the treadmill... a girl comes in and proceeds to eat a pizza. not a piece......a whole pizza in between lifting very small amounts of weights. So do a set, eat a piece, do another set and so on. So crazy!

I am so sorry to hear this, prayers that the treatment will be as painless as possible, it is so tough to see a child go through something so very big and scary.

Tripped and fell on a small puddle of water before giving a talk to around 100 teenagers....when I say fall I mean legs went out completely from me, fell on my shoulder/collar bone. Laid still for about 30 seconds while the room went completely silent, got up, managed to due my talk...limped out of the room got a friend to…

I deloaded pretty much completely today to work on my form, I have a decent amount of flexibility in my wrist so was able to bring the bar back so it was resting near my throat and resting on my arms.... gotta say... Much better. I was able to focus on my form more because my wrists didn't feel like crap.

Great work! I love that your story success is one of moderation, eat some good food eat some bad food etc, it's what I'm working on doing! you look awesome!

I think it's fantastic that you are feeling great about your plan! My only recommendation would be is if you can get your hands on a fitbit or heart rate monitor of some sort to see how much you are burning throughout the day. For myself I did the 1200 cal for about a month, with no real issues because I truly fit into the…

Anytime that you decide that the dream you've thought you've wanted isn't what you actually want, you're bound to be sad, and angry , and confused etc. Let yourself feel what you're feeling, don't try to bury it. But make the best decision for you, it's time to be a bit selfish :)

bump.

Thanks I'll have to try that! Gotta work on my form :)

Attempted to hold the bar in the link, it did not go well. Did not feel even remotely comfortable. I don't overly have a problem picking up the bar , it's a matter of holding on. I want to do the squats with the bar on my back, but that's not in the cards right now. I think I'm going to add maybe one or two more sets at…

Thank you! I will give it a try to see how it feels! Looks like it'll feel weird the first few times but would definitely be a solution.

- not to eat my weight in chocolate or ice cream -up my bench press to 50lbs -up my rows to 40lbs -up my overhead press to 20 pds -do 5 push-ups. I'm aware all my weights are very small, but I'm super weak so this has been a very slow progression for me. :)

My dog was super barkey, still is to an extent but totally manageable. Try feeding them in their crates, you want it to be a happy place for them where they are excited to be. We have her crate in our room so sometimes she gets an hour or two of crate time when we're home, she's fine with it, she sleeps all day, so that…

Unicorns are my fav!! I even have a dress that has unicorns and cupcakes on it!

that pic made me laugh a lot!

I eat whatever the hell I want to eat as long as it fits into my calories.

When I buy sweets I divide them into portions that fit into my macros. I do this because I feel like this is something I can keep at for years, where as not eating them would last for a couple weeks until I went crazy. If it's something that you can't control, than try either buying very small portions, or ask a member of…

You lost 10 pounds in a month! That's amazing, great work !! I would up your calories, unless you don't do anything for all of the day except for when you work out, (i'm not being sarcastic, I work from home and therefore am SUPER sedentary during the day) as well make sure to eat back your exercise calories. Also be…

Wowzers, sounds like somebody thinks he is a MD, I've had to do a similar thing, but that was only after tons of blood work, and months and months of appointments to figure out why I couldn't eat food without being sick. But doesn't sound like you have that problem. Have a calorie deficit, if you don't start loosing within…

I'm just starting out on weights too! and know how frustrating it is!

When you are first starting with weights you might as well toss away your scale for the first little while, it'll just freak you out. Pay more attention to measurements.

I have a pear of skinny jeans that I only like so-so, they have to be worn with the perfect top or I'll look stupid, (not to short, not to long). and the right shoes. But I did just buy a pair of leggings which when trying on I was laughing at myself thinking of how ridiculous it would look, they look awesome! And the hubs…
