5'5" CW: 129 GW: 120 ? I lift heavy so the scale doesn't move much. This week is the first time I weighed myself in weeks...but just started my cut so maybe I can get there!

yes! I can 100% relate!!

lol yes what the hell is the matter with you ;)

I refuse to make him live my lifestyle, so I still buy whatever he likes when I grocery shop and I make 2 dinners, or sometimes he'll eat what I'm eating.

that is an incredible transformation!

holy progress.

1400 is definitely too low for your stats. try 1800

do you do weighted hip thrusts? Try using a barbell with bench if you don't, I'm up to 50 lbs with hip thrust x 100 and its awesome (I do 5 sets of 20, not 100 in a row)

boom chicka pop. low calorie, AMAZING popcorn.

thank you!

I maintain very easily, I just make better choices the majority of the time and eat the junk in smaller portions and not as often. However when I cut then I have to track my calories very closely

ha! yes. this.

just break up

a year from now, you'll wish you started today.

intermittent fasting worked wonders for me.

my birthday is today and it will be impossible to track since my work got me a cake, and then tomorrow my husbands family is having cake for me... so i'll try to eat everything else healthier and just have a piece :)

if you're not happy at that weight its not because you're unhappy with the scale but with your body composition. lift weights, progressively getting heavier. build some muscle

Gym membership New gym bag So many cute workout clothes Shaker bottle Fish Oil Food scale Bathroom scale Protein powder (and lots of it!) Lifting gloves Exercise mat wow the list could go on.... ha never realized how much I've spent but it's all been worth the investment!

this.

chewing sugar free gum helps me.

This might sound silly but one thing that really helped me to clean up my diet was saying... "I DON'T eat fast food" If I say I "CANT" eat it I feel a lot more deprived and more likely to fail. Also theres nothing wrong with having chocolate in moderation... if you are able to eat it in moderation. if its a trigger for you…

hot mama!!

research! once I started learning, I can't stop researching and couldn't believe how little I'd always known

It says my TDEE is 1970 so maybe i will start at 2200

how much fat can I expect to gain? :-/

don't ruin the girls tactics

"driven by memory, not where I am now"

Sometimes I cook my husband and I separate meals, otherwise I just weigh out my portions and stick to that much. It's not too time consuming right now but some day when we throw kids in the mix it might get a little more complicated

what part of Wisconsin?

how bout leg curls? I've been doing 75 lbs (3x10) going to up weight soon and hopefully get sets of 8
