I can't take any vitamin early in the morning...not even with food. Makes me really nauseous. I take it after lunch with a bunch of water. No problems then.

Seriously want to binge on a package of reeses peanut butter cups atm.....pms coming into play. But, they are not in the house, so in order to get them, I'll have to make a late night run to the conveinence store. Hopefully, that deterent will keep me from binging on them. Because I can state with a fact, once I start that…

Refund....I wish...:(((

Just go for it and have fun. Nothing much to think about before hand that I'm aware of. I wouldn't eat a huge meal, but a little snack might help. Apple & pb, etc..

No trouble whatsoever...lol. After a couple months of weight lifting, I needed a break this week....so I took it. The continued soreness is leaving, and I'll be ready to hit it again Monday.

^^This....although, for me it would be 6-8 reps.

I'm with the people suggesting a foam roller. This made an incredible difference for me. About week 4 of lifting, I increased the weight again, and ended up lifting a bit too much with my lower back on dead lifts rather than making sure to push it out with my legs and keep that strain off my back. Anyway, I got a foam…

You can REALLY notice the difference..great job!

F / 47 / 163 - 5'10" / 0 / 0 ..... and I am PISSED that I can't. I have been working on assisted ones for a while. I'm determined to be able to do at least 2 pullups.

I enjoy that way tooo much....hahahahaha. Excellent.

Took it last night...57

Well, I've been at it since Jan 1, and I'm having somewhat of a cheat week. Just taking a break from exercise...giving my body some rest, and being a bit laid back on watching the food. I'm still logging it most days, but sneaking in some goodies. Next Monday, I'll be back at it.

^^Me too....feel a big difference.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I came in here with about 20-25 lbs I wanted to lose. Been at it 2 1/2 months....have always worked out, but about 2 weeks into mfp I started 30ds ... did 3 weeks, then went back to the gym and started lifting *heavy*. I've been at that for 4 week. In those 7 weeks, I only lost…

haha...that's great.

Hmmm...I think we need a body comparison here boys....Let's see all those muscles and judge who's doing it *right*...;P

Let me get this straight aydx...you only lift 1 set of various lifts once a week to failure? That's it???

I just realized that my toilet seat is parallel for me....I've been practicing.....hahahahahaha! I think I've been pretty damn close to parallel at the gym from the feel of it. ;P

Thanks...thinking about that will help. Will give it a shot.

I've seen very few at my gym go down to parrallel, so I'm guessing I'm not making it that far either. Going to take some more practice. The farther down I go, the more I feel like I'm tipping backwards...maybe not holder the bar just right on my shoulders? Or maybe need to tip forward a bit more....hmmmm.

thanks...will try that...I've been lifting from the higher position. Gotta make sure I'm getting this right.

...and dammit...I meant "are quarter squats useless" in my first post...not parallel squats.

K....thanks for the info on the squats. I think I'm parallel, and that's what I've been trying for all along, but just not quite sure by the feel of it. I will have a trainer take a look at my form next time to be sure. Thanks again.

edit

Here's a question....parallel squats aren't useless are they? Because I just started lifting heavy about 4 weeks ago, and I think I'm getting almost down to parallel, but there is no mirror by the rack so I can't really tell? I'm sometimes afraid to go down any farther or I might fall on my *kitten*. I am feeling it in my…

1445 which is my bmr + I try to eat all my workout calories if I can.

Omg..totally. About a week and a half of each month I feel like a total freak. Feel HUGE, bloated, paranoid I'm gaining an actual 6 lbs of weight rather than water (even though I know it's water). Just totally irrational. I've finally learned to only weigh myself 2 weeks out of the month. I don't touch the scale the other…

hmmm...how much are you planning to lose? 5'7" at 149....not much to lose, imo. I'd also say you're way under eating. Up the protein and good luck with that low number of calories every day. But, you won't be able to keep up with that for long. You're not even hitting your bmr each day.
