I would suggest that you ask your doctor for a referral to nutritionist. Low carb doesn’t necessarily mean keto. :smile:

Great progress! Congrats and keep up the good work!

This is so great!! Happy to have you as a new friend--because you ROCK!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Keep up the good work!

Hahahaha!!! Well, from what I hear, they're afraid to get bulky. :bigsmile:

And just a whole bunch of thank yous to everyone for all your wonderful comments! I have been feeling the love! :heart:

Oh thank you so much!! I'm pretty boring most of the time (work, lift, eat, sleep, repeat), so I don't know what I'd write about! But, I do enjoy writing! :flowerforyou: :blushing:

Haha!! Thanks! My husband had to explain to me what giggidy giggidy meant! And yeah, I thought about debunking the bulky myth as part of this thread, but then decided to leave it alone.

Awesome!!! It's a great place to start! :smile:

Hahaha!! You tell her, Tree!!! :laugh:

Oh thank goodness, cuz I don't want to compete against YOU!!! Thank you again for coming out Saturday! :heart: It was great to have you cheering me on! And your husband is so cute!

Thank you!!!! And I'm so glad you came out! It hard to keep up with all the action, but it was great chatting with you and meeting your wife and babies! And you better be lifting at the next one! Thank you again for the suggestion on the gym--you're part of the reason I ended up competing and having this awesome…

Of course I'm reading them all!! This is my five minutes of MFP fame!! lol Thank you so much for the props! All of the comments have been so wonderful and positive! I love it! Grinning ear to ear right now! :bigsmile:

I'm so glad you responded to this! I had seen this and then couldn't find it again. I love that they call it Masters. So distinguished! And WOW those are some impressive stats!

Thank you! My first squat was good (not a state record, but white lights all around) and that's all you need. It's only if you miss all three that you're in trouble.

No you don't have to do all three lifts. I believe that with most meets you can sign up to compete in a single lift only. Some meets are only bench and deadlift to begin with. There are plenty of options for competing even if you don't want to do full powerlifitng.

Thank you so much for noticing the outift! I put some thought into it!! Looking fabulous is almost as important as winning!

I didn't get any pizza, but I've had cupcakes, Mexican food, cheesecake, french pastries, sandwiches, chocolate, peanut butter everything, half a chicken and just about everything in my kitchen. :bigsmile:

Thanks Tree! Can't wait to read your report after you kill it in your first meet!!!!!!!

OMG I :heart: you and I'm so glad we're friends now! :flowerforyou:

He lifts babies, we know that for sure! :laugh: The cutest little babies ever!

Oh my goodness, thank you guys for all the love!! And all the friend requests too, super excited to have some new lifting buddies!! :heart:

My favorite is also the snatch—it’s the most fun and looks the coolest. And it cost me some time and some blisters to get my form just right, so I’m also proud of it! Like Casey, I strength train with a coach and our typical program involves two days of heavy barbell work and one day of KB work. My KB workouts are usually…

Hi all! I'm Jessica and stumbled upon this group after reading a comment Casey posted. I have been training with kettlbells for about 6 months. I learned technique from my trainer/powerlifting coach, who is Russian...go figure. I love KBs and they've really helped me with my endurance and overall strength, especially core…

You are amazing! You have done an incredible job of transforming yourself and, as one of your newer friends, I know how hard you work and how hard you push. I also see that you have the ability to find a great balance and enjoy fun things in life (like whiskey and cigars)! You are an inspiration and one BAMF! Congrats on…

Your progress never ceases to amaze and inspire me!! You are so awesome! I am glad to have you as a friend here and look forward to seeing you continue to develop your physique and your passion for lifting. Keep winning at life and at lifting, girl!! :drinker: :heart: :flowerforyou:

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad you posted this!! I have seen these photos before, but not so big! I knew you had really had success with recomp, but these photos show it more than I even realized! I love you, your smoking hot body, your goals, your attitude, your blabbering on and your success story!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:…

My best advice: Don't replace cigarettes with something else. Just quit cold turkey without any crutches. The physical addiction is gone in 3 days. After that, it's all in your head and you can control that. My more realistic advice: If you have to "use" something, get one of those plastic cups with a screw on lid and a…

OP, I love you. Also, cotton thongs are great. :flowerforyou: :heart: :heart:

Quick prep healthy is just about all I do anymore! Here are my current staples: Breakfast - Hardboiled eggs, nuts, fruit (prep & portion out on Sunday night for the whole week) Lunch - Pre-cook chicken breast--poached or baked is easy (once Sunday and again Tue/Wed) for the week, top w/ guacamole, salsa, lime juice,…

WOW!! These might be some of the most inspiring before and after pictures I have ever seen on this site! You RULE and so does your attitude and your story!!! Congrats!! :flowerforyou:
