runz, I've noticed I've been constipated more. Maybe because it is close to TOM. 101 G protein and only 988 calories !!! I am stuffed at the moment . I roasted a turkey and ate 7 oz breast meat drizzled with some gravy. My carbs are low too so my snack later will be something high carb. sunshine, YES! it is totally…

Beeps :bigsmile: Sad thing... I am going to the beach next week. . I'll need to buy bars or shakes. Maybe both. I gotta do something. It is a vicious cycle that I want to stop. (low cals and starving , cardio craze, weight loss then gain back, constant scale reminder) I want to be healthy, fit, and trim. Speaking to the…

Willlift, Protein is a struggle for me. Numerous reasons . Beeps, I know i know! I haven't weighed all week. I will admit the temptation is GREAT today. I moved the scales to my husband's closet. I never go in there . Out of sight out of mind. Yeah , right. :ohwell: I have my dinner tentatively logged. Protein intake will…

((sigh)) BEEPS!! you look awesome.:love: I woke up STARVING! oatmeal and wheat toast slice. I'll drink a protein shake after workout today maybe 2 for extra protein.

dna, LOL I have a couple of Victoria's Secret bra that increase 2 cup sizes. LOVE the way my shirts fit/look whichever you prefer to say with those. Protein update: 74 g for the day. I had a protein shake. The scooby calculator says I need 65 g protein a day and 1365 calories to lose 0,8 lbs weekly. I am going to do this…

Nancy, why don't you stay at the bench? You are already there and I'm sure it will be easier to stay in one spot than to move around with that much weight. I like what the other girls said about squats. I can't do back squats due to shoulder injury . I do goblet, box squats, sumo squats, and I do a squat machine just for…

BRING IT :wink: Yesterday was 115. So did you get more in than that today? I"m pretty sure you'll beat my totals today. :grumble: I'll finish my logging here in a few. Only 58 g protein today . I am slightly under calories. stoooooopid bites of chocolate cake at lunch. anyway, I WiLL drink protein shake IF I get hungry…

NO martyr here . GUESS WHAT!!!! 115 g protein today :drinker: but I am over 500 cals (including exercise cals MFP has me set at 1200 and I ate over 1700 today :grumble: ) Lifted first and HIIT 2nd. I could only do 10 minutes today because I had leg workout. Thanks for the breakfast ideas. DNA, I am pretty much the same…

I'm taking the protein intake one day at a time. I am high carb eater. Today might be different. I am sore from yesterday. Hopefully I'll have the motivation to lift today. Thanks for the ideas.

Sam, you definitely need a spa weekend. :flowerforyou: I had watermelon for a snack and it just bumped me up another gram of protein :bigsmile: 88 g for the day. I need to eat protein for breakfast. Eggs ..... they aren't my fave but I can do it. What do yall have in the am?

Willlift! awesome. I managed to lift today FIRST. I barely had the energy to do HIIT. How long should I do HIIT? AND guess what?? I 've had 52 g of protein so far today. :drinker: (Considering that is a complete day's total for me.) I drank muscle milk powder. It hasn't hurt my tummy so far but I do have that bloat. I used…

You can count me 3/3. When is this one over? I need to set some difficult challenges next time. I know for sure one of them will be to throw them freakin' scales away! Well not really but I don't want to weigh but every 2 weeks. That's gonna be hard. So my focus will be to LIFT heavy first, cardio 2nd, eat at a moderate…

I like the "I am the machine" :tongue: Yeah Yeah I don't need the donuts. Anyone want to tell my Cambodian neighbor/friend ?

sam! You are just too sweet! It's the Whey protein that kills my stomach. Cowgirl, no, I haven't tried it. Sue hasn't mentioned it to me numerous times. :blushing: I think Lauren, awesome looking girl at gym, meant no added sugar. Like the donuts or the Easter candy. ugh, today has NOT been a good day. Neighbor brought…

No LOL . It bloats me, and I get nauseated.

nancyrosey!!!:laugh: :laugh: armpits. Pmag, I KNOW. I barely get in 60 g of protein. I am not a big meat eater nor can I break it down very well without saliva. I could do protein shakes but I don't like drinking my calories. And the whey kills my tummy.

You ARE TOO FUNNY! But thanks. :wink: Eh, ,she didn't tell me anything yall don't already know. 1. lift heavy 2. do HIIT cardio ONLY after lifting 3. EAT MORE PROTEIN 4. Throw the scale away and I think I will. She is 160 pounds and looks awesome and a size FOUR!! 5. It's all about the diet. low sugar. carbs such as oats,…

I saw an awesome girl at the gym. Yes, I was nosy and asked questions. She is 5'5 weighs 160 pounds and is a size FOUR!!!! :noway: She is HOT :love: I am going to follow her recommendations. LOL

Point, welcome. As for your question, I can't imagine what you can do that wouldn't hurt your knees. Maybe try box squats. (straddle a bench . sit and then press on heels back up. repeat.) I woke up STARVING! My neighbor hasn't brought fresh donuts this week. I am expecting them today. I need to get to the gym before she…

Runz, nope. I haven't changed my calories. As for a workout, it is something my son planned out for me. I haven't done NROL in over a year. I tried to do it for a 2nd time but quickly became bored. I have been lifting heavy for a week or more (???) I heeded the advice to lift more and less cardio. I remember now why I…

beeps, love the top and LOVE your arms. I am freaking out!! I have been eating at a deficit but I am gaining weight! Shoulders and back today. I couldn't deadlift more than 95 lb. Maybe next week I can add 5lb for a set.

I don't EVEN want to finish logging for the day. Crammed my face with high sugar cereal for the most of the day. I didn't bother measuring. I know what I ate. :sick: I'm ready for the big surgery. I want these ovaries OUT. The emotional roller coaster is exhausting. The fatigue is just as bad. ETA: Just logged all my food.…

Cowgirl, I am 3/3 woohoo! No workout today and I NEED it! Hubs had to work unexpectedly outside of home today. I can take the little one with me , and she can do schoolwork there . BUT I am PMSing and need to get away!!

I am sore but not as sore as I expected. I could go deep in squats with body weight only. It was with weight I wanted to lean forward. I'll get there. Thanks for the encouragement ladies Have to take little one to dentist this am. Then off to the gym.

Hello, everyone! I did DEEP squats just like the video. Body weight only. I couldn't go as deep with the goblet squats. I wanted to lean forward too much. Did you post that Runz? or Cowgirl? My back has a natural curve therefore it is impossible for me to stay straight . I really focused though. I am proud. Today was legs…

runz!!! That is a DEEP squat. I'll never get that low :noway: :laugh: and something else concerns me. My back is not that straight. How does that happen?

I did lift! I didn't drop weights and I increased my deadlift to 95 pounds from 85. I want to keep PMS away as much as possible. Lifting and eating better makes it tolerable. Beeps, for example,, DL MWF and squats TTHS. I don't think I could do them the same days. :noway: My knees and grip would give out early. Today was…

Beeps, YES! That is my point exactly. It works different areas . Thanks for the confirmation. Look up Angola State prison rodeo. It has been going on for 50 years. gotta lift today but my body and mind are screaming NO. Body still hurts and the mind is fighting PMS irritability.

Pmang, same problems here. I've tried 100 different ways to hold the bar and no luck. Is it not ideal to do deadlifts one day and squats the next? My son tells me no. I am still tired from working out Friday! I forgot what heavy lifting was for a while.... Saturday we went to a Prison rodeo. The inmates were the…

Jamaica, Thank you. my eating could be better but I HATE living life every day battling the urge for food. I TRY to do things in moderation. Neighbor/friend gave us more donuts :ohwell: I had one blueberry donut. I figured that would be better than the chocolate covered creme filled that I love so much. I made me 2 eggs to…
