Great post! You're awesome as always.

You look great!

You're amazing!

130 lbs squat rack 5x5.

Wow! Amazing results!:flowerforyou:

Your evening weight is still the same as your morning weight? How lucky!!

Very amazing and inspirational! You look awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. :flowerforyou:

Thank you Chris!

Ahh... Now I understand. No bulking as yet. I have a long way to go then. :laugh:

Okay, now raise another question. How do I know when to bulk? Do I need to bulk or just keep trying to burn fat? Sorry, newbie still.

Scale, no result but I pay no attention to it. It has been mean to me since I upped my calorie intake and lifting heavy. Measurements, I am sux at it. Pictures, I do see changes. I had the PT did the 3 points body measurement the first day I started SL and after completing 6 weeks of SL, I've lost 1.7% bf. I will do it…

Great post Chris!! :flowerforyou: I have a question for you, I am currently doing SL5x5, 3 times a week now on week 12. I only do cardio 1-2 times a week (walking treadmills 3.2 mph with inclines 20-30 mins each sessions). I am eating between 1600-1800 cals a day. Am I doing enough exercise and eating enough? Btw, I have a…

^^This! I find cardio is boring to me. I only do it enough to help my calorie intake. I never lifted before but starting November 11, 2012, my first day I started and I fall in love. I have started a 12 weeks program and now having 2 more sessions to finish. I lift 3 days a week for this entire program. Love liftings and…

I only do warmup on squats, 2x5 @45#, 1x3 @80# and 1x2 @90#. Currently @120 squat. I think I read it on Stronglifts website.

I'm glad I read this thread. I was wondering everyday about my weight gains and my tight thigh pants. I'll keep going and hope to see a miracle happen one day.

Interesting! I am gaining and yes, I am patient but I'd like to know how long before you see the lost again? I'm on week 12 and still not losing. :noway:

Hello, I've been in this group since the beginning of November last year. Currently doing Stronglifts 5x5, week 12, day 1 today. I've been gaining 4-5 lbs, fluctuates, since I started lifting. No lost on scale but I've lost 1.7% bf after week 6 of SL5x5. I am sux in measurements. I see changes in pictures. I will try bf…

I found MFP while searching for MyPlate apps on my Android phone but MyPlate isn't free so I decided to install MFP instead. I like it right away. I stopped logging in to MyPlate.com since. Now that I join some awesome groups and having a bunch of awesome friends, I love MFP even more.

Great post Christ!:flowerforyou: :drinker:

You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

Well said! :flowerforyou:

I ignore the surroundings and walk straight to the available equipment I need for the day, mostly squat rack. Tho, I was nervous the first time but now, I am okay. I am the only girl there doing free weight most of the time. They don't make me feel uncomfortable or anything. I'm there for my own good

I 5'3" tall, 162-164 lb but I see myself as big as I am 185+ :(. I don't like my pictures, especially taking with my friends that mostly weigh less than 135#. My pictures motivate me to work harder.

I don't like cold weather but I managed to go to the gym on Sunday and Monday, both days were single digit with below zero windchill. Planning to go again tonight after work since it is my lift day. :smile:

Great post!! Thanks for sharing. :heart: EM2WL:heart:

I always get this joke from friends that I've been going to the gym and my 3.5 yr old is so skinny instead.

Aren't you glad he's your ex now? I would not wanna be with a guy that tells me to lose weight nor I am fat.

I lifted, free weight, 7 weeks now. Squat - 110 Deadlifts - 120 Barbell Row - 85 Bench Press - 75 OP - 50 (so hard for me, seem to can't pass this)

Eat when you hungry!
