My sister-in-law posted a picture of her with her 3mo/old. Someone congratulated her on her second pregnancy. I wanted to punch the person. Women have a bump for a while after delivery and it makes me angry that for an event like birth that happens all the freaking time, people still know so little about it. Also....empire…

I don't remember total numbers, but once I had a whole pizza and TWO chocolate lava crunch cakes. I regret nothing.

I just go up to someone who isn't doing a set and ask. I let them know my intended reps and that if I don't push the bar back up after like 2 seconds to help me out. Once I updated this info after the set felt light (it was only the second time I'd done that weight/reps so I had been nervous) and said "1 more!" then did it…

You might also want to check with your doctor to see if there are any specific weight-bearing exercises that you should avoid. For example, I have a friend who front squats because her shoulder injury doesn't allow her to back squat. When you meet with the PT, you might wish to have an outline of possible exercises to…

I had been using 8-18lb dumbbells for lifts when I went to see a trainer for the first time. He *started* me on a 35lb kettlebell for swings, a 22lb goblet squat, 14lb half getup, and a 60lb deadlift. Everything was heavier than I thought I could lift! So my recommendation is to set up a weight program with a trainer.…

Agreed. I liked Taylor Kitsch in the role.

I'm considering a second conch piercing - I have a left one currently - and a hole between my lobe and higher up my lobe, so there's be 3 in a row in the lobe area instead of 2 with a gap.

I would like to know the secret of getting big muscles in 3 weeks. It took me a year and a half to get these deltoids!

If the goal is related to bf%, what about some recomp? bulk and cut? Or are have you already done the bulk phase?

Anyone? Bueller?

I've read things recently that say for pre-run, it's better to do dynamic stretches and things to actually warm you up (e.g. walking, swinging arms) and then do the static stretches at the end when your muscles are warm from the workout. Just something to maybe look into.

English Breakfast tea with about two tsp of sugar and I leave about a centimeter at the top of the mug for coconut creamer.

Try to look at the big picture rather than week to week - 3-4 lbs per month is excellent. If you aren't having any other unpleasant side effects, I feel like you're in good shape with this pill.

Can you just deadlift until they kick you out? :laugh:

"Family" is not a valid excuse to be a total jerk. I would say that when they start insulting you, end the conversation. Sorry you had to experience this.

Walking only counts as exercise if the wind is blowing from the southeast and Mercury is retrograde. :tongue: But seriously, walking is great exercise, even the much underrated "strolling." http://gizmodo.com/5889888/why-walking-is-the-best-exercise

I'm 32F and I like Panache underwire sports bras. They have a normal closure, and then the straps clip together for extra support. Amazon has them.

I mainly use my kidneys and liver for detox. However, my intestines, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system also chip in.

The dress code says "business or business casual." Today I'm wearing a tank+hoodie, a skirt, and birkenstocks. About half my hair is purple and I have a nose ring.

Maybe throw in some ice among the resting. Consult a doctor or physical therapist for stretches.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :heart:

What are the exercises? How much weight? Etc.

Air and water conduct heat differently. Hot water (coffee) would heat you up much faster than same temperature of air. Consider how water below body temperature feels much colder than air of the same temperature.

The sort that has been filtered through coffee grounds. :drinker:

The TDEE numbers seem right. Note that you should update your calories about every 5-10 lbs lost because if you play with those little dials you'll see they change with weight changes. I am your height and about your age (31) and my BMR at 154 is ~1450. You probably got the 1240 number from MFP because your BMR is ~1750…

Yes. It's part of keeping good form.
