Where I work is like the U.N., I would call it the exception, not the rule.

The type the person they fall in love with has.

Bshmerlie, do you believe those weights at mybodygallery.com? I went and looked at some, and I thought about 50% of the people are full of it, they look like they weigh a lot more than they are saying they do, and about 50% are being honest. :) If you look like a plus size but say you wear a size 6 ( I saw quite a few of…

I have tried lots of them, my favorite is ARO.

awesome!

I don't think there are any reputable studies for aspartame being bad, I hate it because it gives me headaches and causes me other problems so I avoid it (I can actually tell if I accidentally ingest something with it). That said when I was losing most of my weight, I used products with sucralose, sugar alcohol, etc.,…

So, had to take 3 days off to rest my legs (have been killing them lately) but 2 new PRs today, Sunday will be my last SL 5 x 3, then I am moving on to Wendler (going to try to start with BP on Monday, we will see). No accessories till Wendler, giving my last couple of SL workouts (for now, never say never) all I have.…

My last 5 x 5 workout (at least for now, can't say I wouldn't do it again sometime, never know). 5 x 3 starts on Sunday, 1 week of that and going to give Wendler a shot after that and see how it is, just wanted a different focus for a while since I have been doing StrongLifts 1 year this month (started 1st week of May…

Workout B (Wed) Had to deload a bit on the Deadlifts, probably beacause less than 5 hours sleep last night, but didn't want to skip because planning to do my last 5 x 5 Sunday, then going to 3 x 5, 1 x 5 and on to Wendlers to see how that is. Squats 2 x 5 - 175 Squats 5 x 5 - 205 Deadlift 1 x 2 - 195 Deadlift 1 x 1 - 115…

I like prescription natural thyroid meds, Armour or NatureThroid. You may or may not feel better on a synthetic T4 med like Synthroid or Levoxyl, I did not...it depends how well you can convert T4 (what the synthetic meds are) to active form of thyroid hormone T3. I could not (well enough), so it floated around in my blood…

@xcalygrl...Nice job! ooh rah @psych101, de-loading to work on form is not failure, it is strategy, when I start intermediate (which I am closing in on fast, I was originally going to start in January pre-accident, but it is coming around my 1 year StrongLifts anniversary so that is cool too) anyway, I plan to deload on…

Only if they THINK they are...it has a lot to do with what is in between your ears. :) Eat more, work out more, don't overdo it, you will be fine.

It matters if you are an earth, fire or water sign and what elements you are low in. ;)

I am 53 and have not had a problem progressing, and I have lots of company. StrongLifts progresses 5 lbs. each time (for men anyway) but I am more likely to progress 2.5 lbs. (although at lighter weights I did the 5 lbs.) and I will stay at a weight an extra session or 2 if I need to. Lots of us older women are strong, and…

So I am proud of myself that I picked it back up after some bad stuff, really the last 4 months have been major stress. So, deadlifts and bench press are a bit lower but will pick it up, I could have deadlifted more but easing back in. When I get to squatting 205 that is 1.5 my body weight and at that point I am going to…

Your Grandson is beautiful.

Nice work!

I assume you have a device that can access the Internet since you posted on here. Go to youtube.com, search for aerobics, body weight exercise, etc., there are tons and tons of videos you can do on there. Heck, just get up and dance, move around for a while, it is easy to exercise, just do it.

I wasn't aware my food had toxic chemicals, unless somebody is sneaking me doses of arsenic I don't know about.

I did a low calorie diet plus logging and having to be weighed/accountable to lose some of my weight. Then I realized many things, 1. It wasn't going to get me where I wanted to go because I would end up skinny fat and still not have the body I wanted. 2. It would not get me the fitness level I wanted or the strength. 3. I…
