Ok, two thoughts. Firstly, people won't notice it. Secondly, happiness does not come from having a symmetrical body, it comes from accepting your asymmetry.

Everybody has an unsymmetrical body. Why, exactly, does this upset you?

I think you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Nobody forced you to have a burger. Even if you chose to eat at Burger King, you could have chosen something else. I agree with the advice just to take this in your stride. You've learned that what some would consider a normal meal actually uses up loads of your…

What, exactly, do you want advice on?

Good lift today. Squats 5x7 80lb (I was lying to you before when I've said 90lb, unintentionally!). Pretty pleased with the form. OHP 5,5,5,5,3 46lb (These were a struggle, but the form was ok for the first four sets). Going to persevere with these. Deadlift 5 back up to 134lb. Now that I'm comfortable with my form this is…

(I hope others will post their Lonely Loser Ads too, because I'm not everyone's cup of tea!).

Cheers massage just given that a go with my boyfriend. It had been recommended to me before but I'd forgotten. (I think that they'd also mentioned applying pressure with the thumb somewhere, but I'm happy to skip that bit).

Feeling a bit out of it at the moment, like I'm lacking direction. All of it, the weight loss, the cardio and the weight lifting. Squats - decided to focus on form so went down to 80lb 6, 7, 7, 7, 7 but form was still not good enough. Like crabada I'm experiencing adductor problems and it's really holding me back. Bench…

Glad to see Krok back. Thanks all for your inspiring reports, warts and all.

Hi everyone, good to see you all. I lifted for the first time in November this morning after some days away from home and a bit of over-doing it at the end of last month. Squats 5x7 90lb OHP 5x7 40.5lb will go (back) up next time DL 5x 123lb Think I've finally got my deadlift form sorted. Want to go back up next time.…

Thanks, I just realised it was sticky (I always scroll past the announcements). This month is all about form for me. Deload and focus on style over substance Done Limit cardio to two sessions per week. Done Don't lose any more weight. Changed my mind towards the end of the month and decided to lower my "zone" by losing yet…

How do I find the goals thread?!

Went back and did the four remaining sets of bench press at 56lb! PT spotting me was not impressed and said it wasn't really worth doing :smiley:

Glad to hear your good news canadianlbs

6am lift for me this morning. Squats Back down to 90lb 5, 5, 6, 6, 6 Bench 56lb 5, 5 Barbell Rows 56lb 5x5 I like Barbell rows. I don't like my form on squats at the moment. The PT could only spot me for 2 sets :( I'm going to go early to yoga later on and we'll try to get another 3 sets in as this a reload for me (such a…

What is this "husky"?

I am not familiar with the term husky in this context. As a woman, and talking just about physical attractiveness and first impressions only, I am drawn to men with good eye-contact, ready smile, clean teeth, fresh breath, groomed hair, clean clothes. "Open body" good posture. I think really it's the eye-contact and smile…

Early morning lift. Squats 5x5 95lb. OHP 5,4,3,4,5 at 45.5lb DL 5 123lb The squats were too heavy, not getting low enough. Will drop back down to 90lb and increase reps which was my intention (only I'd forgotten). There was a funny moment when a PT spotted me, and I was struck by the thought that it's been a while since a…

Probably were 45lb. Do you realise the programme only involves doing three different exercises in a workout, not all five? Very impressed with your starting weights!

I really appreciate reading everyone's posts, newbies and old-hands alike. I learn so much from you all. Due to a bit of illness/run-down-ness this is only my second lift this week. Squats 5x5 at 90lbs again. Bench 5x5 at 51lb again. Rows 5x5 at 57lb again. Could tell I'm not at full strength as the first two exercises…

Yes, sorry, I followed your link from another thread and didn't read the title. Dur. I think it's a good plan in terms of slowly decreasing your weight-loss as you approach maintenance.

Is this a plan for maintenance or weight loss?

Did have a very nice bruise on my knee this morning. I love the idea of it being my turn to have a good day with the OHP canadian I don't about anyone else, but I get nervous just reading about Krokador's workouts.

Ooh, wanted to say some impressive weights and efforts above!

Similar to canadian I went out part way through work today because I was getting angry and frustrated with it. Bit of a rush, but did: Squats 5,5,6,5,5 90lb (wasn't sure one was low enough, so did 6 to be sure). OHP 6,6,6,6,6 40.5lb (still too scared to increase). DL 5x 123lb (to work on form). I hurt my knee, think I…

You'll still have been given fewer calories at some point, well, either that or you'll have started to gain weight!

As you lose weight your body requires less energy to move it, keep it warm etc because there's less of it.

At first, I'd just worry about total calories. What do you want help with in terms of macros?

That was pretty much my experience (although I hadn't put 2lb weekly loss in). By the time I'd read enough of the forums to realise, I'd been happily eating 1200 plus exercise calories for a couple of weeks, so stuck with it.

I believe that MFP tells you to eat only 1200 so that posters in the forum can then get all excited and castigate you for only eating 1200 calories.
