Let me start off with - yes, i agree with you to some extent. Although, something you may not have considered when posting this is that companies tweak their ingredients constantly. Just today, I found two individual packs of chips ahoy cookies with different nutrition facts on the back. One I bought a couple months ago…

I'm in. :)

Thanks so much! I will be trying the hook grip today and see how it goes. If that doesn't work, I will have to try something else. :)

I am DOING deadlifts already. That is one of the exercises where I struggle with grip, as stated before.

I am having issues with dumbbells. My gym doesn't have a barbell outside of a smith machine so I am having to deadlift dumbbells and they keep slipping out of my hands. (Yes, as soon as I can afford it, I will be changing gyms, but this one is free and i'm broke.) I've hit my limit with 35 lb. dumbbells, but I know I can…

Taco Chicken Bowls: These are delicious! And I love this website for eating healthy on a budget. http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2011/07/taco-chicken-bowls-1066-recipe-133.html

Did anyone else feel exhausted the day after they lifted weights when they first started or is it just me? I 'm not hungry, so I think I'm eating enough, I'm just tired. Any suggestions?

I finished my first half marathon in february and I actually had to wait a few hours to eat anything besides a banana, but then I had mexican food and a huge margarita. :)

Please don't give up. Someone who has an amazing story and did this all by herself is http://www.myfitnesspal.com/namaste1983 and you should friend her as well. She talks about how its all about small changes, one at a time. You have a great start with 7 pounds lost. You CAN do this.

I just did my first workout today and I have a little bit of a dilemma. Maybe this has been asked before and maybe it hasn't. The squat rack I can use is actually a smith machine, which I've heard doesn't do nearly as much good as a regular squat rack. Should I keep using that or use dumbbells? I also have no idea what the…

I will see what I can do when I get home from work. They are now in the laundry with the rest of my clothes. lol.

Balega Hidden Comfort are by far my favorite socks. Better than any other ones I have tried.

Isn't that a distance PR? Congrats!
