Thanks. Considering my diet isn't that great and I am lucky for 2 gym days a week due to my infant I am happy as can be with my progress.

^ That. You will feel on a rep if you can do another or not. If in doubt I don't push it unless I have a spotter. Better safe then sorry. I also do not add weight quickly. I work till I can do my sets x 8-10 instead of 5-6 and then add in some more weight.

Excited for my bodpod tomorrow and then finishing up a challenge with a local group then I am going into recomp. I am done with eating at a deficit. Going to go back in for a follow up in May before next summer and see what progress I can make statistically and visually.

starting over since baby and here is current progress have bodpod scheduled for 9/9 to figure out what my body fat is at. I follow ice cream fitness. with a few of the modification listed in the link below. https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/jason-blaha-ice-cream-fitness-5x5-novice-workout

thanks, just gotta wait for my thighs to catch up like always. so much jiggle lol

I agree also with these types of runs you are not running a whole 5k straight you need to just be able to jog between event/skill so HIIT is probably more what you need for this.

I am down now to 143lbs from 204lbs. Gained 50lbs from pregnancy after loosing 63lbs pre pregnancy on MFP.

10m pp today, 204 down to 143

bottom left is 1 day post partum, top left is 2 days before baby girl was born.

I am similar. Very pear shaped and carry fat all in my lower body. I use a few methods then averagre them out. A user, haybails or something similar made a google doc that uses messurments and calipers and such to give you an idea. I found this to be best vs pictures and guess becuase we also are our own worst critics.

So am I. Took 6 years of his crap for me to realize it was just as bad in the end as my physically abusive ex before him. I am skilled at picking guys. smh lol

I use mccormick steakhouse onion seasoning on them. I buy the butterball frozen ones with like 180cal too.

My ex husband used to constantly complain I was fat. Then when i came to loosing weight since he cooked dinner before I got home he would yell at me because I would ask what was in it, how it was cooked, and weigh my food. I ruined his life, his fun, and everything else because my diet was important for me to loose the…

I got back to the gym and started lifting again. :)

Thanks for the replies. Just got around to checking this thread. I'm a data junkie and think after this summer local challenge I am in is done i am going to do it. $60 to me is worth it as i am very very lean upper body and pretty chunky lower half in my eyes and get such wide range on calipers to scales of variances up to…

I am actually currently comparing my misfit shine (1st gen) vs my fitbit flex for the next few days to compare if they get similar readings. Misfit is on wrist, fitbit on hip. Biggest difference is Misfit is waterproof and fitbit is not, I spend a lot of time in/around pools in the summer and I feel as though fitbits are…

size 18 to a size 8

found my fat pants after moving 4 times since then.

swim suit photo shot with local No Excuse Mom's group in 7 weeks now.

everytime I get back into working out and have sore muscles the scale goes up. After a bit woosh it goes away. Also if you aren't using one get a food scale and weigh your food to make sure that what you log is right. Not all box and labels are right for what a serving is vs a measuring cup vs everything else. you would be…

that people will straight up ask if you are starving yourself.... wtf (my dad, and I am 30 haha)

Now 9 months post baby - Pre Baby - 190 (highest was 212)

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/rudy6.htm Love that full body dumbell. I try to fit in 2 sets of it twice a day if I can. Once before work and once at night. Or if I can only fit 1 round in I do 3 sets. I might be a bit different as I want some more mass to balance out my body shape so for me that is not an issue for your…

agreed to be part of te no excuse mom local groups swim suit photo at the end of summer.

Both, but you will find your probably favor one. I favor lifting and do it 4 days a week and cardio only 1.

This. I have been using this at home and seeing good progress. I am at a deload right now and working back up again and making sure to keep my form.

I thought this was going to be about the idiotic beach body coaches saying don't count calories use portion control... insert 21 day fix diet sale pitch... I had a whole argument on my facebook about this same thing because supposedly then how does weight watches do "0 calorie" foods to which i told her because they only…

Why do you want to lose weight? Do you have loose skin, or saggy spots you are unhappy with? If so I would say to go and lift weights. Do body weight workouts to start out if you need to but try that for a few months and see how you feel. You can change how your body looks without loosing a pound. I have pictures in my…

You don't without the approval and assistance of a doctor.
