Feel free to add me as well. I'm 5'11 and could use more tall friends because yes, things are certainly different for us than someone who is 5'0!!

New rules of lifting for women Jamie Eason Live Fit Trainer Strong Curves I think for a lot of women, it's all mental and a lack of knowledge. New rules and strong curves does a lot to discuss how women will not get "bulky" and "big" from lifting weights. She needs to learn that cardio is not necessarily king. Does she…

I definitely notice a difference in my workouts if I've not eaten enough the day before. I'm still making pretty steady gains right now. I'll definitely add them in starting in January when my cut phase begins. Right now though, I'm happy with my progress so I'll wait. Thanks for the advise!

My walmart marks their meats down on Saturday mornings about 10 am. I usually stock up and plan my meals for the week around what they have on sale. Bags of brown rice is pretty inexpensive as is frozen veggies. A lot of times, frozen is cheaper than fresh and just as good in my opinion. Bananas are always cheap and you…

I eat eggs and toast every single morning. Sometimes I'll add peanut butter to my toast or fruit on the side.

I'll have to go back and read up but I do not recall it stating when to increase weight. But I could be wrong. Thanks for the input!

ME! But I do have all of my meals planned out. I find that when I meal prep, I'm so sick of the food by the time I'm done, I don't eat it. So I pack and prep for the day before each night while making dinner.

I said no to my 5 am workout and slept an extra hour. I feel like a new person!

Really glad to see another tall-y shooting for a lower weight range. I am 5'11 and goal weight of 130-135. I am currently sitting at 142.5 though you look WAY better than I do at this point!

Right now, it's 3 sets of 10 reps. So yes, starting at about 8 it becomes a struggle with 10 being quite difficult. So, then I need to wait to increase weight until the 10th becomes easier or should I increase each time I work that muscle group. I work everything but legs once per week, legs get hit twice.

I do not wear any for this exact reason.

My morning coffee will NEVER change. It's not worth it to me to deprive myself. Eat at a deficit and you're good to go.

Publix carries frozen mahi and we LOVE it. I watch their sales and when they run it for 6.99 a bag, I buy at least 10. It usually lasts until the next sale. Mahi is really the only fish I like. Except fried catfish! :wink: To add: Mahi is a very firm fish which I prefer. Can't do mushy. EW

I can attest to treadmill running being much easier than running outside. I thought I was a real bada$$ until I got off the treadmill and put my shoes on an actual pavement. Found out really quickly I have a long way to go! However, treadmill running is better than NOT running (or any exercise) at all. No help on the…

I enjoy supersets because they do save me time. But in regards to the ones in her program (which I just started this week) I won't be able to accomplish them either for the same reasons. I have no idea if it will stall out progress but I won't be doing them. I would think any "progress stall" would be very minimal at best.…

I go to the gym at 5 am to lift. I do my cardio at night after my son is in bed. I also have to take my son to school, work, get home, cook, clean, tend to 5 dogs, give my son a bath and put him to bed. My husband works retail and also has a second job he does from home so he is not able to help around the house as much as…

I am a member of planet fitness and, maybe it's gym (or location) specific but there are some very serious weight lifters that go to my gym. I've never been told no deadlifting (I see people, including myself doing it everyday) or no heavy weight lifting. I do not partake in the bagel/ pizza thing and I disagree with them…

So much this!

Feel free to add me. While I do eat out on occasion (like today at lunch) the majority of my food is prepared at home by ME.

New Rules of Lifting for Women Live fit Strong curves Stronglifts 5X5 I think one of these might be a good starting point

New Rules of Lifting for Women Live Fit I've done new rules and loved it. I'm doing live fit right now and really like it so far.

egg whites fat free greek yogurt protein powder (depending on the brand I suppose)

I'm adding it starting today as my cardio. I lift 5 days per week but wanted a quick, intense cardio routine to add

I use raw sugar and half and half. I make sure it fits into my day and I don't worry about it. I'm not willing to give it up. I also measure each component.

Yes I do but I made a recipe that includes my measured raw sugar and half and half.

Emotional/ binge eating.

I do not eat anything. I sip water throughout the workout and make my breakfast of coffee, eggs and sometimes toast or banana afterwards. 5 am is too damn early for my belly to be doing ANYTHING

I am loving this!! Way to go!!!

Ha! Just don't wear any at all. That's what I do. Problem solved! LOL!

I pay over $4 for my 18 pack of eggs weekly (I buy 2 of those a week.) I too love my eggs. In regards to your protein breakfast suggestions, I would say a protein shake, greek yogurt, any kind of meat. You don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. Steak and eggs is to die. I also will add leftover chicken or taco…
