Eggs are good but if you don't like them don't eat them

I agree with doing them on separate days but if you must, do weights first.

Looks yummy! I've been wanting to try this for the longest

^^ This!

bump..

This was great! I agree with the go in with a plan. Also once you see that the men aren't worried about you,looking at you, whatever it's a lot easier! I've stopped feeling self conscious/intimidated once I realized that we are all there to get our workout in and leave.

Glute kickbacks are nice also!

Oh, I know! Don't put heat to your hair! I workout often and I don't see any point in putting extra heat when you'll sweat the next day but that's just me...

Agree! This was a great post since you need them all

what was the website? It's not showing up for me

I'm 20, 21 on the 25th of this month

add a banana or peanut butter! Seriously, it makes it taste a ton better

^ This! I say you should talk to him! He should support your interests

I usually go 12-15 reps but I can do a few (maybe 5 reps) with the 15 lbs dumbbell. As far as the lat pulldown I do 30 lbs. Right now last time I checked my bodyfat was at 24%. I'll definitely try the seated row machine but we do not have a fly machine. The gym I go to is very very small!

I listen to "trap" music hah. It pumps me up

I am 5ft2 around 130 lbs I can wear a size 4-6 in pants. If I lose weight cool but my body fat is at 34% and I'm trying to lower that and maybe one day fit a size 2 again!

I don't have "cheat days" but mostly cheat meals like twice a week. Usually it is dinner and completely unplanned. Sometimes I stay within my macros which is awesome but sometimes I go over...

I'm not pre-planning for one day of binge eating. Like others have said, it's just one day xD So, I plan to eat and eat and then get back on track the next day

Thank you! I'll try some of those things

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

No, sadly there is no Trader Joe's near me :(

Thanks! I may try those instead

Thank you everyone!!! It just put me in a rut to hear those words

It was my grandfather who said that

Hey there! I'm sure you'll reach your goal, just don't quit! I have been working out for a bit over a month also as I need to lose some weight. Feel free to friend me if you'd like :)

Thanks for this! I just started about a month ago and I gained weight! Maybe it's cuz of the water retention. Thi was a very helpful post

Thank you so much everyone! I'll have t try to go down deeper. I may need to look up videos on this haha. Yes my heels were coming up a bit and how can I not lean forward so much?

Hey there! I'm Lauren. I'm new to lifting but I love it already!!

I will definitely go deeper next time and yes! She kept talking to me haha

I know you're upset but that was in the past. All you can do now is try harder for the future =] Whatever you do, don't give up!
