Hi, SueBoo!!!!!:flowerforyou: :heart: :bigsmile: You've been missed you beastly woman! I just ate 45 g protein in a single meal. I'm stuffed. Definitely over my 70 g daily goal. Cowgirl, can I ask what is your bf% now? You look awesome. Beeps, you are lucky! I bet the food IS awesome. Sam, seriously PM your address and…

I keep my reps at 8-10 and when I can do those with somewhat of an ease, I increase slightly when I can. Most of the machines I'm using increase 12 lbs. A few machines have a small weights to increase. I wish the gym would buy more of those. On the assisted chin up, I lowered the weight again :bigsmile: I started the…

I have upped my cardio and I've noticed my hunger has increased. I didn't get my goal of protein in today. I didn't try hard enough. I chose ham and bread for a pre workout meal. Sam, that's a great compliment. :happy: I probably would have said "yeah I work out a lot. Carrying these donuts around on my hips...."

I hit 83g Protein today!!! Had to eat 2 protein bars to get there. Sam, have you tried name brand whole wheat tortillas? I think the brand is called Mission or something like that??? ( out of them or I would double check name) We really like those. Beeps, you sound like my oldest daughter. She was tested several years ago.…

Sam, I KNOW! You hit your protein and I am amazed. Between you and Sue, yall put me to shame. I think I hit my goal today 71 g protein. Yay me :) Get some fresh lettuce, green peppers, tomatoes etc to add to a wrap or have a salad with supper. I think I eat salad every day. How do you choke that much protein down? LOL I…

Pearl, AMAZING! Congrats on the hard work. Princes, keep on lifting. You got it. So at the gym today I could not focus or want to be there. I managed to do 30 min elliptical with only a few calories less per machine than normal. Then lifting I didn't lose any gains , but for the life of me I couldn't and didn't want to…

How do I test my BMR? Besides some calculator? I ingested 77 g of protein!!!:drinker: 20 of it came from a Pure Protein bar.:indifferent: Beeps, you and I have discussed what I need. I just hate it. WHINING COMMENCES:::: Why can't I be like other women?!!! Whining over.

Sorry, I didn't mean to open a can of worms. It's just so aggravating that I have to eat so little to see the weight drop off. I have upped my cardio to 30 minutes five days a week and lifting 15-20 minutes. Cardio has to be done first or I lose the motivation . My strength hasn't changed from this. I talked with a trainer…

UGH! I was doing great today and then friends wanted to visit some more at Burger king (only place open). I got a jr. whopper no mayo 260 cals and a few fries. UGH!:grumble: At least I didn't get sundaes like they did after eating Whoppers and large fries.:bigsmile: I just want to eat. I don't want to deal with it. That's…

I know Beeps. I am so tired and aggravated seeing how much other people eat and the fat just melts off. And here I have to eat so little. :angry: I look forward to tomorrow. I don't have to workout. My calves and glutes are sore from the 30 min elliptical this week. Plus, I did sumo squats ( 20 # db) and leg press. Jo,…

I feel like I'll never look like yall :sad: I can't do back squats or heavy dead lifts anymore (due to discs). I am way too fatty. I can't control my eating. I am hormonal and disgusted with myself so I just wanna give up and binge!! but on a positive note , Sam, your back looks great!:drinker:

woohoo! looking good beeps! I made it to the gym. Yay me! :bigsmile: As yall know, I am constantly switching things up. I decided to up my cardio and scale back "SOME" lifting. After that 11 day vacation from exercising , my buns and calves are screaming. I can't access my news feed so I can't catch up with my friends.…

time for me to get to gym today. I didn't get there yesterday. The house and laundry needed too much attention. Congrats on the baby!!

Hey ladies! Back from 9 day vacation. It was great. We lazed around , shopped, did some sightseeing, and ATE ALL the stinkin time! Today I had to do laundry and get the house back in order. We left our 18 year old boy at home. Nuff said, right?:ohwell: Tomorrow back to the gym!

Runz, you look great. wish I didn't have so much fat under my muscles :grumble: then I could show off my moo-suls. On the arm curling machine, I bumped it up to 60 today! woohoo! Free weights I can only curl 20 pounds . I worked in deadlifts today. 75 pounds is pretty good I think considering I have not done them in a…

I've been busy with homeschooling and chores. I didn't workout today. I had to clean all the house floors. It was pretty bad. food choices have been pretty decent today.

Lifted a little over 30 minutes. I do not rest in between sets. For instance, I'll work on biceps , squats, skull crushers, and leg extension. Repeat. Repeat. and Repeat . Only rest I get is walking from one little spot to the other. Of course, I did more exercises than these. I just don't know what to call them. So…

hey, all! Been so busy over the weekend and I was a gluttonous heifer too. Today, I was so busy with housework and yard work that i didn't eat enough calories. So while I'm typing this, I'm eating a slice of bread and turkey ham to boost my cals. I homeschool too. My little one and I started 2 weeks ago.

Welcome back, Nadia. You 'll find some eat what Lou recommends and some eat less. You have to find out what works best for YOU. I am so stinkin' bloated and feel like a blimp. Makes me discouraged and feel like stuffing my face with anything and everything. Beeps, yeah, can you see clearer?

just wanted to pop in with some of lifting SCORES! I am proud of myself and wanted to share. The machine that works deltoids.. I started out "curling" 30 lbs." Today I bumped that up to 50 lb. I am pretty sure I can bump it up another 5 this weekend. But I can only curl 17.5 lb dumbbell per arm. I started out 10 on those.…

doggone it! I forgot to do the kettlebell swings! The Sumo squats are doing their job at the moment. My inner thighs are screaming but I really want to incorporate some different and aerobic work in. I am eager to do my measurements. FOUR more days. I know it won't be a great loss. My eating this month has been horrible. I…

RUNZ, that is kickin butt! I don't think I ever got under 3 ( I really don't remember LOL) , and I was always near passing out when finished. NO workouts today. It's been a leisurely day. We went out to eat for lunch, and I've been baking. (pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, corn dog muffins, and currently dough is mixing in…

2nd that :grumble:

Tarts, sorry. I made it to the gym late today and it was interrupted by my son. He needed to get his truck from the shop before 5 (this was 4:50) and they would wait a few minutes for him. So workout was short by 9 minutes lifting and 15-20 elliptical. My eating has been better today. Since the weekend I was on a binge.…

I've been eating and eating and eating and eating some more and not good stuff> Don't know what's wrong with me.

I got on here specifically to tell yall about a squat I read about and found yall talking about glute exercises. The sumo squat is suppose to work the glutes and the inside of the thighs. I did it today and I'm feeling it! Sue, I just opened the link you provided and the sumo squat is listed as #2. :bigsmile:

I am friends with Alwyn on fb. I asked a particular question (don't remember) , but I do remember his answer. He said, "NROL4W is about strength. It is not a weight loss program." BUT several women in this group did lose weight . I am not sure but many of them can correct if I am wrong. The women who did lose weight were…

Trapezius is a long muscle in the back.. What does every one think about a calorie is a calorie? Can I eat 1200 calories of carbs, junk, etc and lose weight? Or zero carbs, processed foods, etc and lose weight? or a good balance? Is a calorie a calorie or not? I've read some say yes. some say no.

Runz, it sucks ! LOL I have seen some inches come off but that stoooopid scale........ Apparently, I have the metabolism that rivals a slug.

Yep, I agree with Sam on all especially the plank . In the NROL4abs he doesn't recommend over a minute. What do yall think of this: A calorie is a calorie. OR is it? I stepped on the scale this am. Major bummer. Not one pound gone but I've kept my calories low. I know yall think this is crazy but i really have to starve…
