Ballast Point is there! Mmm Sculpin IPA.

Nope, not annoying at all! It's part of lifting. :) I had my trainer spot a 1/2-get-up weight increase to 22 lbs. :laugh:

Since you say she's working with a trainer, I can only assume that it's more complicated than this. This is saying she's eating less than zero calories. BMR much?

rationalize it as 16oz curls. :drinker: you're welcome.

toning. :grumble:

How does Beer Hive compare to FatHeads? That's where I used to go all the time when I lived in Pittsburgh. (and where I still go when I visit) :)

You kind of answer your own question. Crazy restrictions don't work because you can't maintain them. It's a balance between consuming enough that you don't feel drained/deprived and creating a deficit to burn off excess. A more modest deficit (as in, eating "more") is less agonizing and easier to sustain in the long term.…

Here, have a calculator: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html If you fill that out, it will tell you the amount of calories you burn in an average day, or TDEE. That's your maintenance number. Subtract 10 to 20 percent from that number to get your number for weight loss. E.g. for a 10% deficit, take…

If your TDEE is 2400, that is your amount to maintain.

I've had 27 of those! :drinker: I don't tend to like stouts or porters, but since my taste fits so much of the list, maybe the stouts and porters on it are good places to explore. Thanks for posting!

I'm kind of doubting they have them with the lack of barbells, but a heavy kettlebell is another option.

Moving comfort Fiona is pretty good. ~$45. Not hideous looking either. You can sometimes find "last season" colors on sale.

How do I log this "support"?

As far as BK, watch portions like everything else. Check out their nutrition site. E.g. Whopper Jr or a more basic burger instead of a Whopper, small or no fries. Beverage at home or carry a little water bottle with you. Good luck!

Popular starting programs include Stronglifts5x5 and New Rules of Lifting for Women. I'd also recommend a session with a trainer to learn forms and how to progress in weight/reps. Have fun! :happy:

Seconded!

Perhaps 20% deficit is too steep? You could try TDEE-10% for a couple weeks and see how that goes. Good luck!

I've been to ACBF in Boston twice, and to the Belgian Beer Fest once. I went to Snallygaster in DC last year - I'll definitely go again if it goes annual. And GABF is on my radar. :)

In addition to legs, I also roll my thoracic spine and lats.

I went to a top engineering school. It was worth the cost.

1) Find a very heavy thing. 2) Pick it up. 3) Put it down. 4) see step 2. Jokes aside, check out stronglifts or new rules of lifting for women. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

May I suggest looking into heavy lifting?

Just break up.

:glasses:

Friday of last week is FIVE DAYS ago. A realistic expectation is 1 lb loss per week. And while I don't know how you set your goals (how many lbs per week, etc) you haven't even been at it for a week. It's going to be slow, but if you keep at it, it's going to happen. The weight didn't go on in five days; it's not going to…

When you find something that isn't giving stupid side effects, I feel like it's worth it to try to stick with it. I don't know how your plan works, but maybe see if your doctor can put "brand necessary" on the Rx. When I had Seasonique, my doctor said since it was working well for me for several years that I should…

Did someone say IPA? What was this post about? I just heard IPA. Seriously, though, I solve a similar problem with portions. When I'm out and want to have several IPAs, I go to a place that has 10oz size options. Not so much for calories, but so I don't fall over. :drinker:

My trainer has me doing inclined pushups using a bar. I've seen other people use those giant rubber bands around their waists or chests for assistance. Also, just to get this uterus thing cleared up, I went on a small google spree. The source is sports illustrated. Q: My coach told us that doing push-ups with your legs…

I recommend a session with a trainer to get the proper forms and some starting weights/reps. Enjoy!!

Hey, 6 lbs in a month is a great pace! It's a pace where you'll be able to get it off and keep it off. :flowerforyou:
