I was actually pissed off, it was the end of a 12 week challenge and I was not happy with my progress at all, lol

This is where i re-started after my daughter was born before I could get back into the gym. It will require heavier weights are you get stronger and just keep adding reps but it is a starting point for sure. Also gets your body used to the movements. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/rudy6.htm

165?

haha and yeah that is what I ended up at when I got down to almost 130lbs people kept commenting. I was under 17% body fat for my full body but yea the bodpod had me down under 10% the lady had never seen it come out so screwed up. My upper was so lean she couldn't only think the machine was having issues with it. So…

i started 2012, lost 62lb and maintained at 150 from summer 2014 till 2015 when I found Out I was pregnant. Gave birth September 2015, left pic is current at 134. total loss 78lbs, time 4 years and 1 pregnancy in that time.

thanks. :-) yeah it has been a long never ending process. maybe thats why somedays my posts seem so sick of how long it takes to build the body I want. left was pre bulk... up 7lbs now started 212, now 141, lowest 134. size 18 to size 2 same brand/cut. :-)

And for fun because it has been a while since I upload. and I had a kid 15 months ago between these 2, and the big picture I was already down 12lbs haha

I have issues in my lower back same area from 1 car accident and 1 issue from carrying items and slipping, and my right hip from pregnancy. I asked my doctor what his opinion was and he said he was slightly clueless in some aspects as every person is different. He told me to work on it and go slow and light especially on…

My gym is 30 minutes away so totally get it!

Name: Julie Total Weight lost: Which time, 212- 150 ... then gained 50lbs (pregnancy) now 204 - 141 Time it took to lose: started fall 2012, so at just over 4 years now How long in maintenance: kinda doing a recomp / maintenance concept, just finished a bulk Maintenance weight range: 130-135 Week of... 2nd January: 141 9th…

I will adopt some noobs. :smiley: I started on MFP in 2012 and lost 62lbs in about 2 years. I had a daughter in 2015 and gained 50lbs back with the pregnancy, and now am down from 204 when she was born to 141, lowest was 134 (did a bulk) with a goal of loosing body fat, gaining strength and muscle and dropping a few pounds…

My daughter is 15 months old now, leg press so far is the 1st one I am back to my pre-pregnancy lifts weight wise on. Squat I am about 100lbs down still (180 now), and bench I have been stalled for a while as I switched gyms and used to use a jones smith and now am 100% free barbell so I don't think I will ever hit my old…

500lbs on the leg press today!

haha so first one was on point, said around 22.4% then went back 14 weeks later, now somehow at a new place I was 9.5% haha error much. Calipers put me at 17% at that point.

I just switched from stronglifts / ice cream fitness program to a PHUL 3 day program. 1 day full body heavy, 2 day split hypertrophy. Talked back and forth with some trainers about what I am looking for (80% physique, 20% strength) and with my current body type and stats (19% body fat, almost all in my thighs) it is what…

I love my protein milkshakes. I use Animal Nutrition brand whey, cake batter, brownie batter, coconut, cinnamon bun, so far no bad ones. I then use Halo protein ice cream (but you can use normal for more calories) and almond milk (again you can use whole) and drink that almost daily. I love it. So nummy and I use it as a…

I am one. Also have an instagram I post in all the time more then on here. :) Lifted for almost 2 years pre pregnancy, took time off due to complications when pregnant and now back at it for almost 6 months again. Started above 36% body fat and now down under 20% and over 75lbs from my original start. Feel free to add.

she will be 13m tomorrow and down to 135lbs from 204 a few days before she was born now. So 70lbs. (pre pregnancy had went form 212 to 150)

I am the same stats and under 20% body fat so your scale weight isn't bad, my abs show. I am still working on dropping about 5lbs more though now due to a challenge I am in. If you set for recomp you would aim for maintenance or right around it. I aim for 50cal or so under in case of logging errors. Give it at least 3-4…

to what? I had 2 different trainers in another lifting group both recommend different things.

great job!

Yeah i figured as much. I just noticed the smaller I'm getting obviously my tdee is getting lower as well since 70 pounds of weight is a lot of mass to no longer be moving around. It's easier to function on 3 600 calorie meals than 6 300 calorie meals. Seem to be more common then the diet industry would make you/me think…

Random but does anyone else find they do better eating 3 larger meals a day vs smaller meals. Smaller meals I end up not satisfied and hungry and overeating where 3 larger meals hold me over longer between meals.

haha I got thighs like 30% and abs like 15-17% so 45-47 /2 = 22.5-23.5% and hey bodpod said 22.4% so lol just cut some bodies in half and I am good.

are you male or female? I ask because if you are a women sometimes where we are at in our cycle can very much effect water weight on the scale. I have noticed the same week every month I am up about 5lbs. It goes away week later so I tend to avoid the scale that week but if it was only month 1 that would bother me a lot.

Do be done this 12 week money challenge already because I am sooo sick of cutting.

Watching the race, she is sick and spaced out.

In my case my stomach goes first and my thighs and hips take the longest. It blows but it is genetics for that. All you can do is slowly work on it and eventually there won't be any other fat for your body to burn.

The same reason it says high in protein, high in sodium, and high in calcium/vitamin C/ other things because some people want to know that depending on their personal health and what diet they need.
