I have not read nearly all the comments...I got bored. JUST last night I started to read New Rules of Lifting for Women. It was insightful. According to what I have read so far is that you can't get a dancer's body. That body of long and lean is genetic. You can however get the muscle tone the dancer has...through…

I just got New Rules of Lifting for Women....can't wait to learn how to lift and get strong!!!!

October 4 here...Mom and Dad's anniversary is January 19!!!!! :)

oh...I went to urban dictionary.....my job is gonna hate my search history!!!! :bigsmile:

oh geez, I don't get this... :huh:

also, any acronmy you see is generally just an internet acronym as opposed to MFP specific and you can google it and find what you are looking for!

Actually no...BUMP is an acronmy for Bring Up My Post....a way for the OP (Original Poster) to "BUMP" it back to a thread that is frequently seen due to popularity. Everyone who BUMPs so they can find it later is completely misusing the term.

she was 31 had 8 kids, smoked 30 cigs a day and didn't eat much food...Soda or no soda this lady wasn't looking for a longer lifespan or a healthy lifestyle!

according to your diary you are either WAY over on calories everyday or WAY under. Thats not how this works. Your net needs to be fairly close to your suggested calorie goal MFP gives you or the goal you have based on your TDEE and BMR. Ignoring the numbers don't help.

Not sure the problem... 1. Your body, you do as you wish. 2. Victoria's Secret has some great bras

your logic is flawed. yes, Koolaid contains the base of water just like tea. THUS, you are getting the hydating effects of water. You would need to count the calories of anything added, but koolaid does not take away the fact you start with water...

well keep your eyes peeled. I know there are PLENTY here who have alread met a goal weight and are looking to build strength and such. Post something in the fitness section about lifting and you are sure to find some peeps!!!

I used to drink wine at night all willy nilly! I love to cook so I drank while I cook. It was still only 1-2 glasses of wine but I USED to think a "glass" was poured to the top!! I still have my 1-2 glasses while I make dinner for the fam and its a measured 5 oz pour! I ALWAYS have calories for wine...even if it means an…

I drink nightly. I have lost almost 40 pounds, I have gone from barely fitting into a size 12 to needing to belt my size 6-8s. I run half marathons. I feel awesome. I am not sure what the problem is! 1-2 glasses of red wine a night and most likely MORE on Friday and Saturday nights. I don't go over my calories. If I get…

Are you measuring her food? Are you feeding her on an intermittent schedule or small meals throughout the day? Are you feeding her after 8pm? All things to consider...but don't cut back her food too much. She will go into starvation mode and become skinny fat...NO ONE wants a skinny fat calico cat!

dang, ya beat me to posting it!

I can lick my own nose!

I would be less confused if it was an actual nipple, but a bottle????

starting a bit early for Friday...I like it! My job is very anti drinking AND teaching kids...so sadly, the last thing in my mouth was the rice krispie treat from the bake sale down the hall!

No problem...I have been on MFP for a while now and I AM happy to help. I just don't want to see someone on MY FL do something unhealthy! You seem to have healthy goals in mind so keep it up!

Daaannnngggg.....clearly you missed the whole point, ro the girls food diary. She was UNDER 0 calories a day!!! Thats not good! I wasn't saying under 1200, I am saying ehr negative 700 whatever was bad!!! Not eating at all is not good.

If your goal is 1200 calories your calories consumed should be at least 1200 calories. Your NET calories takes into account your calories burned through workout. So if your food calories say 1200 and your exercise calories say 500 your net calories would show a positive 700 (1200-500). You then need to EAT back some if not…

I agree 100% with this vodka club and lime are my go to!

Its no more a problem than people who used food for comfort or whatever and got fat in the first place. Alcohol is a legal substance that our society uses as an evening out...bars namely. Being ignorant on the matter surely helps no one. I can easily go out and not drink, but I choose not to...much like the OP said.

nope nope nope...I was referring to something in MY sentence so "this" is appropriate....referring to the acronmy and "that" would be used when referring back to something, such as the title suggested to me. my way makes much more sense according the rules of grammar...forget the fact I am missing a letter and a much…

I do lots of cooking so I have noticed this. Sometimes I just log the whole recipe and that extra that gets dumped I ignore...if anything it gives me wiggle room and I like to error on the side of caution. You could also measure what you start with and measure what you have left...could give you a good idea. Sometimes, I…

yes, I know...why do people keep misreading that post??? I finally understand the ACRONYM!!!! :P

Seriously thinking about checking out this book! thanks...I am finally almost at goal weight and getting bored with cardio...want to sculpt and be super strong now!!!!

but my front yard has no rocks! I tried using my dog and fat cat, but they didn't sit still!

This is really helpful! I do think I should invest in heavier weights for home and do some of the same type of routines at much smaller reps. We always do a rep of 8 for what seems like 10-15 times...but heavier for less time seems to be a common thought. Thanks for the input!
