Thank you!!

Anybody? I know it is quite selfish, but I really want to succeed!!

Good information! How about adding more lifts on my lifting days? More than just the strong lifts?

It's not necessarily to burn more calories. I have a 12-week goal (because it ends around my birthday) to lose 5" off my waist (I have around 8" to lose, I think). I know I need to have heavy lifting in my routine. Plus, it makes me feel like I am actually getting a good workout in. Like I said, I know it'll get much…

Okay, I like those ideas! My gym just opened and they don't have a lot of the little equipment yet (kettle bells, foam roller, battle ropes, etc), so I will have to work with resistance bands or something.

LOL that made me laugh a lot! I've been needing an excuse not to drink... Totally forgot about lent coming up (and I'm catholic!).

I forgot to mention that! I am actually doing cardio on 2-3 days off. I'm giving myself at least 1 rest day/week. I guess I'm also asking if I can be doing more lifting on my StrongLifts days?

Thank you!! I'm not a big fan of vanilla, and I've never tried almond milk. I LOVE milk though... Is that an option? Is there a chocolate one? Or something that tastes like berries? I could handle those.

I just was irritated me to see someone assume something like that and then offer a suggestion on how I need to fix myself. What I'm saying is I eat right before my shifts, don't get hungry again until 5:30-6, when we get rushed for the next 3-4.5 hours. I don't stop moving during that time, because my tables are constantly…

That is one of the most absurd assumptions I've ever heard. I think I tried cigarettes a few times when I was 16 and haven't touched them since. No smoke breaks. No breaks at all. BONUS: I'm not a chimney. My lungs are happy. I have saved lots of money. Ps, try to not assume things about people. You just make yourself look…

Okay okay, no fighting. If you want to be childish and deliver passive jabs over the internet, don't use my thread. Anyway, your suggestions are VERY helpful! As far as the breaks go, yeah that won't happen lol. I could probably manage to sip on a shake while preparing salads. And yes, I do eat RIGHT before work. I try to…

Yes, I promise it is 41" :) lol I checked again just to be sure. I am going to friend you so I can see progress from others. Next, I really really appreciate the advice that the program is too much and to try something else, but I am "new" to lifting for a purpose and have chosen this program. It seems easy enough to…

Hi! I'm actually not going to have a deficit at all. I plan to eat 1600-1800 calories(difficult because I don't always get to eat for an entire shift at work which is 4-11pm). I will check the thread out. I just need to know what to eat and when in accordance with my lifting. Also, I meant to say 12 weeks just for a goal…

My new gym doesn't have a foam roller, so I know I'll definitely be investing in one! Thanks for the continued advice!

Thank you! I actually have around 30lbs to lose, so I figured a larger loss in inches would be possible. I just want something kinda big to strive for :) And I actually think I'm going to stick to a 1600-1800 calorie diet. I'm definitely cutting out alcohol 90% and fried foods 90%. I just need to know when to eat what :)…

Okay, great!

I didn't know there was an app! Thank you! How about my goal and diet? Anybody have advice?

That is awesome! Thank you!

Okay, sounds great! Now, can you guys recommend some specific weight lifting exercises? I am planning squats, starting with a 15lb bar, dead lifts with 40-50lb bar, and I have to do hip adduction and abduction for medical reasons. What else, aside from cardio?

Bump :)

That does help! Thank you! I just feel like that sounds like a short workout. Do you suggest free weights only? Or are machines like row, lat pull down, leg curls , etc. effective?
