I shrug and can honestly say I dig the hell out of the results. My traps aren't crazy huge because well, that would take a whole lot of effort and some *ahem* assistance, but there is nothing like doing dips in a tank and seeing my traps flared up. HOT Training your traps, regardless of gender, is beneficial. Traps are a…

You need to be paying attention to macros in regards to counting, not micros, but be sure to eat whole foods rich in micro nutrients to maintain all-over health. It is true that you can eat pizza and bacon and still lose weight if you are eating at a deficit, but it can and likely will affect performance and energy levels.…

Carbs are an energy source and when you're not getting enough, especially if lifting, you'll notice serious strength and energy depletion. If you opt to cut your carbs that low, up your fat intake. Nuts, oils, avocados, etc to give your body an energy source to burn. I would still recommend having a "spike" day where you…

I often wear yoga pants to the grocery story, convienence store, Target, etc. I'm not going to go to the mall wearing them or out to a meal with my fiance, but if it's a quick trip, you betchya!

I'm so tired of seeing the same topics... Someone above said it well. For many, it's just the excuse they use to not put in the work. For the rest, it's complete ignorance.

I'm so terribly sorry I missed this until just now. Thank you so much for all the encouraging words and support. You're looking at the future Mrs.The_Saint!!!! Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am and how special I feel.

But you must, and I repeast MUST, record video and post said video

Fishing for compliments are we? OP, you're beautiful and it looks as though your boobs are perky and round so I don't think you need to worry. You could always get fake breasts if its that bothersome to you. Looks as if you already have though, IMO

There is a lot to learn in the world of fitness and nutrition and you won't be an expert in a matter of months. You're learning where your weak points are so you can better learn to either prevent them all together or counteract them. Continue working out a few days a week and focus on hitting your calorie and macro…

Yogurt, greeg yogurt, cottage cheese, regular milk, soy milk, low fat/no fat cheese, breakfast sandwich with egg whites, meat and cheese, protein pancakes (can find recipes online)

I think its okay for a while, especially while you don't have children, but after a few years you will be more than ready to trade that lifestyle in for something that keeps you home.

You look great, Allie! Can definitely see it in your bust, mid-section and butt. You have definitely worked hard and are a great inspiration

:blushing: Has anyone seen Elizabeth_C34's rockin' hour glass figure? Not to mention, she's brilliant. How could she not win?

Eh... whoops?

Holly takes the cake on this one, but TubbsMcGee is definitely up there too!

Well this is an easy one!!! The_Saint ETA: Alright then, this is my boyfriend. So lets limit the friend requests :wink:

I do. 2 oz 0% greek yogurt, tamed pickled jalepenos and tuna = SO Good. Also mix it with dressing mixes like the spicy ranch and put that in with the tuna.

Shock her or... shocker?

I wash my hair at least once a day, typically in the morning before work or after a.m. cardio and before work. When I go to the gym on my lunch for strength training, I shower, but pull my hair up in a messy bun so I don't have to wash it.

Water weight will go away in a few days once you're back to eating normal. 8-12 cups of water minimum Sodium around suggested 2500mg or lower High potassium foods Exercise

Its got better macros because of the protein and carb count. Most wheat pastas have very little protein and high carb

One is after running and two are after lifting. I don't sweat much, which is nice, unless I'm playing competitive sports or lifting legs.

Height: 6' Weight: 170 How long have you been lifting: Since freshmen year of high school originally but diligently again for the past 8 months Times per week: 4-6 Split routine or full body: Single muscle group per day. Back, chest, arms, shoulders and legs. Unless I've missed a day and I'll combine accordingly 1 REP MAX…

Goes back to the post Ninerbuff made about weight vs. physique. The scale is a nasty b sometimes, but your measurements and the fit of clothes are a fail proof method of knowing whether you're making progress or not. You FEEL better, your clothes fit better and you generally have more confidence, so what exactly is the…

Well then I'm proud to have made the cut! I prefer the Legion of Doom, btw :flowerforyou:

There are healthy alternatives to tanning beds. Versa Spa is a sunless tanning bed that, if done correctly, gives nice color to those who don't want to use beds or don't tan and it's safe on your skin. I'm a natural blonde with a slight pick tint and though I tan, it's not like that of an olive skinned person. I don't…

^^ What he said. But if you really want to 'flush yourself out', Google the salt water cleanse.

Well, to start with, there are many variations of love. I don't think it's ever as straight and narrow as one would hope. People have cheated on partners they love and regretted it later, and people have cheated on partners they weren't in love with yet still regret it. Then there are those heartless f&*%ers who never…
