When you're ready to cut the excuses, you'll make it happen.

First...are you eating enough? You shouldn't feel "completely drained and shaking."

Ibuprofen and foam roller

So your doctor said that no one in the history of the world has ever lost weight without surgery? Ok then.

My journey dictated that I squat today, so I did.

Smother? She sees him 6 days a month. I was in a LDR. We were lucky to see each other once a month. When he came here for that weekend, he took one night to go see his friends. The world did not end.

Only if you're consistently over your calories. Something is off in your calculations or you'd be losing.

In response to this: most heavy lifting programs have you lifting in the 3-5 rep range. If she only has 3kg weights to start with, it will be too light.

You're almost there...

It's a good thing you don't have anything identifying who you are in your screen name when you publicly talk about your spouse.

So basically, he wants to continue doing his things, but doesn't want you to do anything you want to do. There is a bigger issue at hand here.

Plan well for those 500 calorie days. With a good plan, you won't feel like you're starving. I did it for a little bit, but I found myself totally gorging on the maintenance days. I decided it wasn't for me.

You would have to invest in the equipment to use at home or go to the gym or do a body weight program. I would suggest going to the gym (even just a few times) to see if you even like it enough to buy the equipment.

I have 3 Athleta suits. I love them.

Personal preference. I'm not really a morning person, so the thought of having weights over my head early when I'm half asleep is a bit scary. I lift on my lunch hour.

There is nothing anyone here can do for you. I really dislike how often people here are told to go seek professional help, but in your case...you need to be first in line.

I would tell her it's not any of her business, nor is it her money being spent.

Strong fishing. I'd be less inclined to draw attention to myself if I had a negative experience the first time around.

the shoes...were they fitted at a running store for your foot and gait?

I lurked the boards for a good 6 months before I uttered a peep. The forums are what you make of them: you can weed out the BS and get solid info or you can be appalled about behaviors you see and get nothing.

Then yes. Keep lifting.

I was never a beer drinker until I was introduced to craft beers. I still consider myself very new to the world of beers and don't know all the lingo, but my favorites are Petrus Aged Pale (it's a sour), Fatheads Spooky Tooth (seasonal pumpkin), and Sierra Nevada. You probably would like ciders. Wyder's Pear Cider is the…

Being too strict too fast is where many people fail. They make too many changes, can't find balance, and ragequit. Don't do that.

Well, what is your ultimate goal?

Interesting. I lost 30 pounds not doing a minute of cardio.

Have you looked at Ice Cream Fitness 5x5? Not sure if that qualifies, but I have done SL, 5/3/1, Juggernaut, and went to this because I wanted the full body workout of SL, but with a little extra.

I prefer heavy, but do both.

The LAST place I want advice from on my relationship or life goals is Chit Chat.
