Trust me - I feel the same way! I have lost 50 lbs but I can only really see the difference when I look at pictures - and then, the difference is HUUUGE! Also, if you really feel you are not seeing a difference, you may need to change up your exercise routine and try lifting. With cardio+diet, you will just look like a…

Edit to question 8 - I have been eating around this amount since October, lost on it then, went to maintenance (prob well over maintenance, who knows) from Dec 23-Jan 6, and now back on this amount.

I haven't lost weight in 3 days what is wrong with me???

Cabbage sauteed with smoked sausages is really good, I made it for lunch and added some honey mustard, also, like many have said, cabbage rolls! Mmm!

I am IN! I'm doing stronglifts so the numbers are not dropping anyway, and there's really no point when I am losing inches. As long as I keep to my calorie level, there's no way I can really gain so hey...why not?

My goal is about 100 and I struggle to reach it. As long as I get at least 80g a day, I don't worry too much.

I'm 5'4, 158, with a 29 in waist and 40 in hips. I think when I was your size I had around the same measurements as you...people are just jealous you carry your weight well!

I'm not taking +1 month pics till the 24th, but I can tell you I've lost an inch from my waist and hips since I started two weeks ago. An inch! And it's not like I have that many inches to lose!

This whole thread reminds me of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUmJDVRDRTQ

Good idea! I just started the one hundred push ups program tonight...I've never been good at push ups and I want to finally be good at them!

Man, am I really the only weakling out there :sad:

Haven't really lost boobs, but I've gone down band sizes. I've always had a small ribcage so this just makes it harder to find bras. :sad: That being said not everyone keeps or loses boobs in the same way. If your breasts are mostly fat, they will go down as you lose fat, but if they are mostly tissue (like mine) you're…

To each their own. If my husband didn't cook but took care of other things, I wouldn't mind. However, I find it hard to believe that anyone "can't" cook. It is a basic life skill. I can understand not being great at it or not liking it, but seriously...the internet exists. Anyone who can read can follow a recipe.

Thanks for all the responses! I think I will just up my consumption of milk, beans, and whatever meat is on sale. Whey I could order online, but definitely not until my next paycheck (it costs about a week's worth of groceries for me). I might be able to go straight to farmers and get some meat, in autumn i did that with…

Romania.

Thanks for all the answers! I think I'm gonna add a few (like 10 mins) on off days or at the end of my workouts (if I have the energy at the end) and maybe 1 or 2 strength moves.

About 11 Euros a month for the gym, nothing else. If I wasn't doing Stronglifts, I'd just work out at home for free, but I like my gym, so it's not too bad!

Ah ok, I think I saw something from the newest thing that confused me, thanks!

Ugh, I know I've made my point but this thread is such a trainwreck I can't look away. Disagreeing is not bullying. ITS THE INTERNET. I've never seen anyone actually get bullied on MFP, just disagreed with. And while people may think others are "harsh" its just words on a screen, you can't tell that person's tone or…

I agree that cyber bullying is a real problem. Cyber bullying is not saying " I don't think HCG is a good diet for you, since it can ruin your health." If someone made a hate website, sent you nasty messages, called you names, and made your real life miserable, THAT would be cyber bullying. This is a forum, people will…

bullying present participle of bul·ly Verb Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants I don't think a stranger on the internet can FORCE you to do anything. Bullying is such an overused term here.

Thank you all, I think I need to improve my flexibility. I think my gym has lots of different bars at different weights, so I'll have to track my weights progress a bit differently than the program, as the bar weight isn't written on the bar and we have no scale :-( pretty basic gym I go to.

It's not like she told you you look skinny, or that it looks like you've lost weight. Maybe she was happy to see you and you do look great to her? Lesson-never compliment people. They'll never take it right.

No, no warm up sets, I didn't read anything about that in this program?

thanks all! just joined the stronglifts for women group!

First of all - you two are both HOT. You have amazing bodies and all of your hard work really shows! Second, I have a question - is the carb cycling just for you two to get into competition shape/get to a really low BF%? Would you recommend this diet to someone who's around 30% BF still? I'm just eating at a deficit and…

hmm, I love how women are on here saying she's too manly, yet none of the men on here seem to think that? She looks great! I'd never have the dedication to diet down to the way she's cut, but damn if I don't admire it!

Diet diet diet is key...if you lift for 6 months without a proper diet, you will probably not see any changes. With a good diet though, you'll see changes for sure. Significant changes though, that depends on where you're starting from.
