Saved me too!

When we first met it was to date, but we got too comfortable with each other and became really great friends. He eventually left to Greece and dated then married a girl (it ended in a divorce a short time later). I care too much for him and would never jepordize our friendship over a fling. Thankyou all for your…

Eating 1900-2000 cal, started heavy lifting 2 1/2 months ago.... BTW ( Im real bad with logging everyday) I still have fat to lose, but Im concentrating on building muscle

Eat a piece of fruit like an apple, pear , or an orange.... drink some water.... wait like 20 min... then continue with your normal meal... and drink water in between too I do this, and I usually find myself eating less than what I originally would've ate..

Same here. I'm usually counting to myself, cant concentrate with msic in my ears.

I'm curious to see the replies. I need more fast beat songs, they keep me going!

wake me up inside- evenasence secretes- one republic tonight tonight-smashing pumpkins stand inside your love- smashing pumpkins Just a few on the ipod right now....

That's a neat dream!

thats why most gyms make you pay first month and last month, so the moment you cancel, your last month will already be covered. And I work at a bank, so yes once you give a merchant your acct information you are authorizing them to debit you account

Well its kind of hard to estimate....depending on what gear you were in, how steep the hill is, any wind resistance, were you out of breath, how long were you riding before the hill....how is your conditioning etc..... Unfortunately there are many factors to consider? I think a heart rate monitor would be helpful, and I…

You ate less than 1000 calories. For lunch you ate like one piece of bread and tomato slices. I would increase the breakfast and lunch and add one more snack in the day. That would bump you up to your 1600 rec calories. If you are a small girl and dont get too hungry add calorie densed foods..... like nuts and avocado…

As a woman I started heavy weightlifting about 3 months ago. I work out 5-6 times a week. I alternate... One day I hit upper body hard. Arms, Triceps, Chest, Traps, Shoulders Next day, I hit Lower body hard. Legs, focusing on squats, leg presses, calfs, lunges, dead lifts (Rest day in between) Third day cardio and Abs…

Love this!!!

From my personal exprience.....When I started heavy weight lifting I gained about 10lbs total. 3 the first week, 2 the second and 3 the third etc.... By the end of the month it was about 10lbs total.BUT......I can assure you it was not from muscle. It was mostly water retention. And all the extra protien I was eating.…

I'm up there with your husbands weight and my TDEE-20% Is 2100 cal...and yes you will experience a gain. I gaine d about 10lbs, it took me about 4 weeks for my body to adjust to the extra cal and to finally start losing the weight slow and steady.....AND ITS NOT GAIN WEIGHT FROM FAT, so tell him not to freak out. I also…

Yes Vibrams! I wear mine on squat and dead lift days and I can deff notice the difference! My balance is better and my heels are firmly planted on the ground.

I meant our normal adult responsibilities**** bills, work, kids etc....

I went Sunday and the best thing out there deff was the fried oreos! MAN i DONT CARE HOW MANY CALORIES EACH ONE HAD! They were the bomb-diggity!!! its only once a year so why not. I also had a footlong chilidog, corn dog, and a lim-arita......these i shared with two other people. I walked for hours and worked out earlier…

Wow I never knew there could be mean girls at the gym? Some people ( women) never grow up. And even more impressive you can do 25 burpees? Like all in a row? Super!!!! I can do 15 max in a row!

Add me, I still have 70lbs to lose and I am doing heay weight training. Losing inches but no lbs!

I was just reading about this and no you cannot physically shrink your stomach with out surgery.

Yes, Please try the TDEE-20%.....I started this because I was confused on how many calories I should be eating. This is working for me. I did initially gain about 10lbs from water weight. But about 3-4 weeks into it, my body has started to "let go" of the fat. I am now eating 1900-2100 calories and losing .50-1lb...but I…

Honestly, You look amazing, I wish I had that tummy......

I was kind of in the same boat as you. I was at the same weight for almost a year. I researched and am now following TDEE-20%.....I did initially gain 10lbs, but it was not fat. More so water weight. But....... my body has now adjusted and is "letting go" of the fat. Before I was eating 1200-1400 calories. Not enough for…

I can squat 225lbs

LOVE IT!!!

Same here. I want to go out but no one to go out with. Alot of my "friends" are only my friends because we've known each other from childhood not because we actually have something in common.

More confident, talk to people alot more now. For example the cashier at the store, the bank teller, the waitress. Sometimes I think it makes thier day.

I actually understand what you are going through and what you are feeling. I feel like I missedmy chance too. Even though Im only 27, I feel like its never going to happen to me ( love life, marriage etc)

Thankyou all for your help. I will focus on good form and doing a few full motion rather than alot of half push ups.
