I used to live on a street with no shoulder that was hilly and curvy. I ran a ton so I would wake up a bit earlier and drive somewhere safer to run. Pissing off someone who has the ability to kill you just does not seem wise.

Are you eating 1200 and burning 200 so netting 1000? Please eat more. Sorry but a hormonal response to your diet and exercise is not good. If you weigh 200 lbs you need a lot more than 1200 net. Please find your TDEE and reduce by 500 calories and you should lose one to 1.5 calories a week which is healthy.

I am going on a cruise and unwilling to pay for wifi so my streak will be gone but that is okay

Wow that is an amazing transformation. You look so nice in your suit. Great work.

I agree that most people do not care and if they think anything it is respect. I am self conscious as heck. I used headphones, plug them in and you can tune out everyone else. Also, go early in the morning. There are less people and the people there are all about working out...not the social scene, etc. Do some stuff you…

Amazing work! You are gorgeous! Your little guy is precious.

great progress in strength and body comp!

try cutting back on your exercise a bit. Lack of period and lack of weight loss are probably due to this. You are overstressing your body.

I do both. One day a week I do regular deadlifts and front squats. Another day I do back squats and stiff legged deadlifts. I am lighter for front squats than regular squats and lighter for the stiff legged deads than the regular deadlifts. If you are only going to do one I would go for regular deadlifts as it hits up more…

google making weight class for a fight. There are lots of articles on it. Not sure you can do 3 lbs in a day safely though.

You are nursing which means you need to eat. 1800 calories seems low to me. I nursed both my babies and at the 6 month mark I dropped a lot of weight. I did for each of the growth spurts (which are like every 3 months). Eat more, make sure you are getting enough sleep and water. This time is so short try to not worry too…

I seem to keep my butt. In the past my upper body lost all the weight. I have worked hard to build my upper body with weight lifting and losing fat (all over). My kids even told me I had gained size upper body and lost it lower body. It takes a lot of work but it does work. This guy has some great glute exercises:…

You do not need a spotter except maybe bench pressing. You can always ask someone at the gym to spot you. Do you have a plan you are going to follow? Start with light weight and make sure you learn good form and then gradually increase your weight. Starting strength or strong lifts are good programs to start with. Congrats…

Leg day. Got a pr on deadlifts, front squats, rear lunges and seated calf raises. :happy:

Your body takes on water weight when you start a new lifting program. Here is an article I read today which talks about this. http://berzinatorfitnessdesigns.com/2013/03/15/is-your-scale-deceiving-you-part-2/

Return your shoes and get some that fit better. My running shoes are a size bigger than my regular shoes. Try on more than one pair and actually run in them. Shoes are the most important thing for running. Get a pair that work for you.

Yes!!! It will help with not losing muscle and help with your running.

Congratulations. That is quite the accomplishment.

I have to agree with above body pump is not going to build muscle. 20kg squats is not giving you a big butt and thighs. You should look to a lifting program like starting strength.

I am 5 ft 9 and currently weigh 134 been training for about a year. Per the strength standards, I am past intermediate for all my lifts and moving to advanced. My current PR's are DL 210lbs Squat 170lbs BP 100 but have not tested in a bit rieann84 the gloves are making your grip worse on the deadlift. Chalk helps with grip…

Love this post!!! I think having kids made me realize how great my body is and what it is capable of. Since then I have run multiple marathons and now lift some heavy weights. I love my 46 yo body more than I loved my 20 yo body which was so much skinnier.

Pear shape here I have worked hard to build upper body muscle, I find the fat on my hips and thighs is the last to go. By working out hard with weights I have maintained my upper body muscle while eating at a deficit and losing fat.

I see wine every day. If you really want to lose vanity weight you need to cut back. I would decide if you would rather just have one glass of wine a night or less often but stay at the two or three glasses. Wine is empty calories and often causes you to eat other junk. Drink lots of water, eat more veges and lean protein.

Twenty years ago, I had an aerobics teacher tell me the you can eat anything after working out and I did not believe him. I would love to see some responses to that but I do not believe it.

WEll I have wanted to start swimming some. I am in. I know the running will be easy. Bike I can do. Swimming will be a challenge.

LOVE THIS!!!!

I hate it when people say x weight is too skinny. I am 5'9" and under 140. I have muscle on my body. I have tiny bones and a small frame. At your size 20 pounds in 3 months is a bit too aggressive. Increase your activity and eat at a 500 calorie deficit. Stay consistent and you should lose 12ish pounds which if you gain…
