Should I switch from Strong Curves to Strong Lifts?!
I lost so much weight and slimmed down immensely on a caloric deficit and following the Strong Curves workout sets.

D E A D L I F T S
Holy crap, so today was my first day doing deadlifts with a 40 lb bar bell :p it was wayyyyyy harder then I imagined. Quick question because I want to incorporate these in my work out every time...

Fighting Hunger
I am never satisfied with smaller portions. I crave huge meals still. I have lived for years eating one monster meal a day, it's really hard to change this habit... Any advice? I'm getting a bit discouraged
