Fabulous job Vero!!

I'm all hurty too!! Last week I think I strained my traps doing squats. I've taken two workouts off and couldn't even squat the bar today. I can do other things but it hurts to pull my shoulder blades back...:(. I've rested,stretched,rolled,and iced. I think I'll try heat next and then try again next Monday. Boo...because…

Great work ladies!!!

I'm going to go ahead and deload my squat weight and look at buying some fractional plates. I think the stall from bench and row is because the squat weight is so much work. I'm eating around 2300 calories so I'm eating plenty...maybe caffeine right before workout?! I might go another route to try and cut some fat. Drop my…

The problem for me now is that I seem to be hitting the wall in terms of advancing on weights on my lifts and on measurement losses. If I increase my deficit and lose body fat, which is what I want, I'm afraid I won't progress on the weights until I'm in a situation where I can start a bulk cycle to build muscle. I guess I…

Well Boo...I had a funky workout today. I did 155 on squats today and it felt like crap. It's like I had nothing left to give after that. :( I had to get to the Gym when I would normally be eating lunch so that could be part of it? I don't know I think the barbell might have broke me....haha! So squats 155 5x5 I think I'm…

Hey everyone! I'm must going to jump right in on the May thread. Squat- 150 I haven't stalled on squats yet. I feel it coming though. Press-60 was horrible 1,3,2,2,2 I was talking to other people yesterday and not concentrating like I should have been. It took 3 times to get through 55lbs. Dead-130 Bench 70 trying 3rd time…

Definitely change your weight loss settings to .5lb loss per week. If you're fairly active change your activity settings. If you decided to chose sedentary (almost no one is sedentary) log all of your exercise and eat the calories MFP adds back in. I started about the same place as you 141lbs @ 5'5. It took me a long time…

avacados,nuts,hummus,chia seeds, natural peanut butter,dark chocolate..:)

Hi I'm Amanda!! I'm on my 4th week of SL and really enjoying it. I finished all of NROLFW and really loved what it did for my body...so I knew I wanted to continue lifting. My upper body is way weaker than lower so I'm adding pullups to a workout and dips to another. Lifting and EATING friends feel free to add me :) Oh and…

Like stubby my losses and numbers go with about a 7% over estimate for me...so anywhere from 150-200 calories a day. When you're working with a super small deficit it's nice to figure this out. I've been leaving a 1500 calorie weekly deficit for maintenance....I don't know how that's going since I haven't bought a new…

Listen to all this great advice!! I once thought maintenance was 1400 for me...nope 2600 :)

Woohoo!!! You look fantastic :)

I did/finished stage 6. I couldn't do chin ups and still can't do a full one. I do think I'm a bit stronger...still not strong enough though. The stage was good for me :)

From skinnytaste my kids will eat healthy baked chicken nuggets,rollatini with prosciutto, meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting,turkey chili taco soup (over chips and added cheese) and all of her baked goods! Can you stay for dinner.com- meatloaf burgers,petite turkey lasagnas,Parmesan roasted potatoes…

I say trust it. Wear it for a few weeks and see how you do. The numbers may adjust as you wear it longer.

Wow! It's like a heads up for the next stage...LOL!!! I went ahead and started stage 6....It's the complete opposite upper body is dying over here. It hurt my chest and back muscles just to walk yesterday. Lifting my arms up in Zumba was brutal...gahhh. Keep talking about 7 so I'm prepared...haha!!

I'm ready to do workout B today. I'm so unbelievable sore still....let's see how it goes!

This motivated me to do stage 6 instead of skipping to 7!!! I started today and it only took like 25 minutes boy were my arms shaky after the negative chin ups, slow underhand pull downs and pausing with the push ups....I though stage 6 would be a breeze....LOL! Felt great and I added a HIIT to the end of my workout :)

Others in the database are approx 15 grams for a tablespoon

Leftovers also freeze very well. Just take the leftover rice and use a measuring cup to "mold" serving sizes. Plop them down on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Stick the sheet in the freezer until the portions harden and then store them in a freezer bag.

This is the best way/recipe I have found to get brown rice cooked perfectly. I sub the water with chicken broth. Hope that helps!! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-brown-rice-recipe/index.html

I just wanted to say Hi to everyone new here!!! I'm currently in stage 5 and really love this program. I just wanted to pass along a few thoughts I had. If there is a cardio activity you love stick with it but make sure you eat more to cover the cardio calories. I still love to dance and do zumba so I stick with that 2x…

I started stage 5 today. Feels great to be closing in on the end of the book. I felt strong and upped my weights since there were only 4 reps. Yes the bodymatrix still completely sucks!!!!!! :)

I have the Bodymedia version. You can move around sliders on the website dashboard for a specific time period. I do this everyday when I put my exercise burn on MFP.

I use my bodymedia...I think my burn was only around 250 .

Good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!!
