new rules of lifting..or stronglift 5x5

My kids are too old (13 and soon to be 17)...but they still and will always get presents from Santa...Personally its creepy and if I did this when they were younger...it would have given them nightmares..I mean they both still sleep with night lights..

I always buy myself christmas gifts...give them to either hubby or the girls to wrap for me...its really hard to surprise me...not my fault..hubbys

^^^^THIS^^^^

I did it this year in Denver..its was such fun!...Wasnt that hard either..

we never know how our actions affect others..in your case....it was a wonderful reaction...so awesome!

Yes. Its about knowing what to eat and what not to eat. Eat according to the glycemic index..for instance..raw carrots..not cooked. brown rice not white rice..whole grain bread not white bread.. You can try Paleo or even a Primal diet..yes..it helped me lose..but I couldn't maintain not eating cheese or yogurt..But I am on…

Success to me is being well balanced. We dont have alot of money cause we spend it..but we always have enough to help out the needy. Always enough food for kids to take to school to share with those who dont have. Success is getting rid of the generation demons that plauge our families..both adopted and biological. My…

I also have hypothyroid..but also PCOS, and Insulin Resistance. I take meds for everything.. I can suggest that if you are drinking coffee to stay awake..your meds need to be re-evaluated. I take mine everyday like clockwork at 4 AM..then go back to bed..and am fine the whole day. As far as loss..I hear you..I am at 27%…

So true...I know that Christmas came about cause Rome wanted to counteract a pagan holiday..nonetheless I am a believer and shall always celebrate the birth of my Savior. I have a friend who is a Pagan...to each their own..and she told me..."Felicitations on the birth of your god.."...I said thank you..cause I knew what…

How cold is cold..I live in Denver..and I bought a pair of baselayer pants and tops a fleece had and gloves...I usually only feel cold the first 5 minutes..then I warm up. As long as it isnt windy..I go outside....

I am lucky and unlucky...We really have no family around us outside of my 2 cousins...oh and a brother in law we dont see much cause of his wife...eww. anywho...I agree..we always have family dinners..and always see each other. my oldest (16 yr old) is actually giving up her Thanksgiving to feed the homeless...it will be…

We are imigrants to the U.S...mind you next year willb e 40 years..but we embrace Thanksgiving as a day to give thanks to God for all that we have..a time to be thankful for family..and of course..eating.. we didnt start having Turkey till I was 22..up until then..we always had lamb biriyani..us "american" kids…

Most able bodied people wont attempt the Spartan. This guy is really inspirational. He is right..its all a mindset..thats why some people decide to get their body into shape..and others just sit on the couch. If this guy can do the Spartan..so can I!

I try to stay away from that stuff...although Ding Dongs are hard..but I feel sorry for all those workers who will be out of jobs...its more than just junk food..its peoples lives we are taking about.. BTW..I miss Ding Dongs...havent had one in a while...

took a peek into your diary. I do think that you need to up your carbs. There are no fruits and veggies there..which are good carbs. I thnk you need to educate yourself as far as what are refined carbs as opposed to complex carbs. There are many caloricly dense foods that are high in fat..but the good kind...avocados,…

get out there ...and do it..its scary at first...but you will do fine. make sure you lift what you can..but make sure you still lift heavy enough ..

I am of East Indian descent..but raised in California..Hubby is full on American. Daughtesr (adopted) are 1/2 black and 1/2 white...Needless to say our house is very interesting..from the conversations..to the language..to the food. Its not unusual to hav Dhal and some stuffed cabbage at the table. Luckily we are both…

I also have hypothyroid. I am on medication..but its not impossible to lose weight. I eat sensibly and workout...You dont have to be overweight...like your doc said.. I would find another doc..and go from there

1. What is your eye color? Dark Brown 2. What is youre favorite season? Fall 3. What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas 4. Have you ever been arrested? Nope 5. What are 2 things with in arms reach of you right now? Iphone and water glass 6. Would you rather know how you are going to die, Or know when you are going to die?…

there are more ways than just weighing yourself to measure success. clothes fit better, measurements are smaller, you have more energy.. I havent lost weight in months..but my weight is shifting, my clothes fit better, and I have loads of energy

1. Did you split amicably --we dont talk-las time was us wishing each other luck in the future 2. Did you kill each other during the process -nope 3. Was the divorce due to cheating -nope 4. Do you regret your decision -nope 5. Did you keep your married name? -hell no

sweet milestone..Hi Jason..I am Marlene

i dont see an issue since its time based rather than distance based...as far as heel raises and stuff...step off the treadmill..if you can..I run outside..so...i dont have any issues right now..

Its rude..plain and simple. you are being healthy..and ai think thats what pisses them off more rather than you being a vegatarian. people know what healthy and whats not..what they should/should not eat. putting you down makes them feel better about themselves..pettiness is an ugly sweater people like to wear during the…

eat at maintenance...eat what you want...its 2 days out of the year to sit and enjoy..for me...my family revolves around food..and I refuse to give that up. I love to cook and they love to eat.. I will eat what I want..but then I am running a 5K thanksgiving morning..and will probably be out there on Christmas aswell...…

get out there and do it! i cant run a 5k either..but this will be my 2nd run.. (4th if you count the mud runs). Its all about getting out there and doing it. you wont be kicked out if you walk some of it..

I voted yes on 64 in Colorado. I do believe that it should be legalized, just like alcohol. I do not think that the usage will spike up. I know several parents who are scared that now their kids are going to light up. My take is your kids are going to light up if its something they want to do. I never understood it..so I…

I havent lost any..but then I attribute it to being so near goal weight..or at my goal weight. I will continue to lift..and just hope once I finish NROL4W..and move on to the Abs one..it will help with my pooch of a stomach..cause in actuality..its my stomach area that bothers me most..

My biggest excuse is the kids. Like last week..every intention of going running..but got home..daughter dropped a bomshell saying the school has not given her "track" for graduation..meaning they arent sure if she will graduate. We sat down..and spent an hour going over the classes she took and what she needs. This is very…
