finally got more weight! Doing 5X5 now, theses still aren't max, but I think i'm close for the bench... Bench: 68 lb Squat: 78 lb dead: 78 lb

For me if I eat too far under my goal I get a "You're not eating enough" speech, but if I'm at or above I still get it... did you eat under?

Check out Fitnessblender.com They have a database that you can search for a variety of different at home work outs. There are with and without equipment options. It's an awesome site.

Thanks everyone! I work out at home right now so the only one that would give me a hard time about using a pad would be my husband or my 5 year old and the list of things they give me a hard time about is huge so that would be the least of my worries :)

Yup.. too high. I did a forum search and found another person with a similar problem and someone posted a super helpful and informative and really long video that explains everything. Just tried the position they demonstrated and it's SO MUCH BETTER. Gah, I'm such a newb. :)

Both my kid's first words were please and thank you. Since we started out with them needed to say those words to get stuff it wasn't really a problem for us. They are now 5 and 2 and don't often have to be reminded to say those. if they don't ask properly, they don't get it. As for sir or Mam we kind of leave it up to who…

When I was 10 I was taking piano lessons from my neighbour's daughter. We lived out in the sticks and their house was surrounded by forest so they had total privacy. The whole family liked to hang out on their deck in their underwear, which my whole family was pretty used to seeing when we would stop by. One day though I…

So i just started 3x a week last week and I don't have enough weights at home.. currently I'm doing 3 sets of 8 all at 33lbs. (seriously that's all I got right now.. will be buying more weights once hubby gets paid) I have a few Qs I hope I can ask here: when I'm trying to find the weight to work with should I be able to…

I once got a second friend request from my mother's old high school friend (she was already on my list) without even really thinking about it I accepted) Instantly she was messaging me. Apparently she was stuck in cuba (She actually HAD gone down there for a wedding) and needed money to help her get out... IT was pretty…

Also, measure and take pictures! When ever I step on the scale and see I have gone up, I'll take some pictures and compare them to my start.. always makes me feel much better to see that my butt is tighter and my abs are starting to show... :) You'll be able to see the difference and it will make you feel Amazing!

It can be pretty disheartening, but always remember that weight loss is NOT linear. It will go up and it will go down, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Sometimes it's just water weight and sometimes it's because you may have gone over a few calories the day before. I started in August, Since then I've lost 5 pounds,…

Just plain old Salmon with some rice and veggies on the side was my original plan, but the hubster wanted something done with it... he prefers to eat it on its own as a snack or an appetizer.

I used to live in Letellier, MB for a little while.. those prairie winters are deadly...

I don't mind it warm or cold but I find it tastes way better when it comes out of a can. (That's really weird, I know) Not that I buy canned water, I'm not even sure that's a thing. But I used to work on a farm and would always forget to bring my water bottle but usually always had a pepsi for lunch.. After it was empty I…

Thanks everyone!. Found a real family pleaser on Pinterest today. Smoked Salmon Quesadilas using cream cheese, spinach and finely chopped sweet peppers. I made what I thought was way too much and they were looking for more :)

Originally from the dirty 'Shwa (Oshawa) area but currently living it up on Vancouver Island. Fun Fact: Probably 75% of BC's population escaped from Ontario.. lol

I'm about 5'5 CW - 152 GW - 135 or maybe 130. I just want to get below 140 and then I'll see how I look/feel. I want to get back into lifting and wish I could be a farmer again.. Those days I weighed quite a bit but was super skinny, it was just a lot of muscle.

\m/ My first concert was Slayer when I was 18. I went with a friend and his friends and they introduced me to the wonderful world of lesser known underground metal. I totally fell in love. My fave bands: Cryptopsy Macabre Dimmu Borgir Children of Bodom Emperor Pretty much anything, black, death or thrash. Metal for the win!

I used to work in a drive thru and I made sure to compliment any men on their fantastic beards. Beards for the win!

Thanks! Keep em coming! We have SO much of it that we freeze it so it will keep longer. Just pull it out the day before and it's pretty much just like the day after it comes out of the smoker. We're going to make a TON of salmon cream cheese with it, and I've done salmon salad sandwiches that the kids love. I will look…

I do notice it more when it's cold out.. I can't say if I've noticed it when on the tredmill I'll have to try to think about it next time I run inside.

I honestly don't know whats going on but I have two thoughts: !) His Ex was a total b*tch and he equates thinner girls with more drama etc. He's worried if you look like her you'll turn into her? or 2) He doesn't want you to be confident. Some guys feel like if their ladies are attractive and feel good about themselves…

I have to find me some of that!! It will take me forever to empty it (I'm not a drinker) but I MUST have that bottle!

Thanks! it is really annoying. I'm hoping as long as I keep up my morning jogs eventually it will diminish. I should start trying to note how long it takes to happen.

yeah, I usually run in shorts so there's not even any material on my legs. I think it's just because I'm allergic to running.. lol it's not my strong suite by far. So glad to know I'm not a crazy person that just imagines it. Because I was pretty sure that's what it was. :)

Would this be good on Pork??

totally going to try this one day.

I plan on starting the challenge on the 1st so count me in!

If you get the right horse to work with it can totally be strength training as well.. Up until I was 25 I had worked with horses and did no other exercise. I ate like a pig and was still stick skinny, 5'5 and over 160 lbs. It was always fun being lean and strong because at amusement parks and fairs there was never a "guess…

This one is cardio and strength training mixed together. They use weights but you could just do resistance if you wanted to try it, It looks like they try to change it up. Yesterday it was a lot of cardio and lower body work today was not so much cardio and a lot of upper body. Tomorrow looks like it's going to kill me. I…
