Hello my name sake, I have lost 61 lbs. and I agree this is a great setting to do it in, lots of supportive people. I am not at my goal yet but close. I also quit smoking about 10 years and 1 month ago, and it is like I never smoked, it is a very wise decision. Congratulations on your success!

I am 5' 2" and weigh 139, and my BMI is 25.4, at 5' 4", 144 lbs., yours is 24.7, where are you doing your calculations from? My goal is 130, but I am 2 inches shorter than you, I may change it, honestly for me it is about body fat not the number on the scale, especially since I lift heavy. Personally, I think you look…

Nice!

Lots of people had Polio in the 1940s-1960s, Spanish Flu epidemic ended in 1920.

Good going, keep up the good work!

Back to it again, same as Thurs. because I technically only had 2 last week, and I alternate them each week. Workout A (Sun) preacher curls 5 x 5 - 100 Reverse curls 5 x 5 - 100 squats 5 X 2 - 175 squats 5 X 5 - 200 Overhead Press, Barbell - 5 x 2 - 55 Overhead Press, Barbell - 5 x 3 - 65 Barbel Row, Bent Over - 5 x 5 -…

Back on the stick, now I just have to do Sat. to have my 3 this week. Workout A (Thurs) underhand bicep curls 5 x 5 - 140 Reverse curls 5 x 5 - 100 Overhead Press, Barbell - 5 x 2 - 65 Overhead Press, Barbell - 5 x 4 - 60 Barbel Row, Bent Over - 5 x 5 - 100 squats 5 X 5 - 200

Great job!

I would love a new generation of One, it would be nice not to have to use One plus an HRM with a chest strap, but right now I have to. I am waiting for the device that gives me both and doesn't have to be worn on my wrist. It could have a soft chest strap to wear, that I could deal with, something that you can hide...I…

I love my one because I can stick it on my bra and forget about it at work, I don't want anything with an armband walking around work. It took me some time to adjust with the One, but MFP and one are getting pretty close now.

OK, I just realized that was an old post, good thing because I would not be happy, glad I wasn't using Fitbit on here when you did that.

Yesterday I was up over 12,000 steps walking at work, and it was like go, move it! I was like NO! I'm done now!

Check what you have your stride set to. It took me a while to realize that if it was not correct, I had to adjust it up not down. I started out at 1.8 feet, but my stride is actually 2 feet. When I adjusted it down to 1 foot, then 8 inches, it was telling me I walked 1.25 miles when I knew for a fact the actual distance I…

Mine went through a wash cycle last week and survived just fine.

Great job!

Yeah, no, you don't "clock" a gun...when you put a bullet into the chamber of a gun there are a few terms you can use that would be correct, "clock" is not one of them. Those terms are "charge", "chamber" or the word that sounds like a rooster that I tried to type but they censored on here, definitely not clock. That said,…

Stevia isn't new, it comes from a leaf similar to mint and has been around for a very long time. Truvia is relatively new, but you can buy less processed Stevia too.

I don't think it is selfish, but if you have not, I would try lifting heavy weights first, 100 lbs. is not that much to have that much skin, you might be surprised what more muscle will do.

Increased deadlifts to 170, wasn't happy with squats at 205 so staying at 200 for now. Workout A (Sun) Squats 5 X 5 - 200 Squats 5 x 4 - 205 Deadlifts 5 X 1 - 170 Bench press - 5 x 5 - 105 Reverse curls - 5 x 5 - 100 Overhand bicep curls - 5 x 5 - 140

I eat them, just watch your total sodium.

Nice work everybody!

Wow, just realized I never posted my workout in here this a.m. So I guess I had my first ohp fail, I really just could not pick up the 70 lbs, so I warmed up at 55, did 5x5 of 65, then 1x5 of 60 just to work on my form a little more. Everything else was good. Underhand Biceps Curl, seated, 5x5, 140 Reverse Curl 5x5,100…

Finally had some time to read through here, lots of great progress going on, we rock!

I do all lifts by the description on StrongLifts, listen to Krok...she is always right. :) http://stronglifts.com/how-to-overhead-press-with-correct-technique/

So, after my hiatus picked up again without having to deload, but going to keep working at this level till I am really comfortable here. Workout A (Tues) Dumbbell Side Bends - 5 x 25 - 40 Hot Potato Squats - 5 x 15 - 20 squats 5 X 5 - 200 Bench press - 5 x 5 - 105 Deadlifts 5 X 1 - 165 Reverse curls - 5 x 5 - 100 Overhand…

Lifting weights would help, no good losing weight when you still have the fat, as you have found.

Awesome, you look great!

I tried Rhodiola once on the advice of my Sister, and it did not go well, it made me break out and other unpleasant things, so I stopped it. I eat at least a gram per lb. of my body weight per day, I do eat too many carbs sometimes, try not to but lifting makes you hungry.

Nice work!
