What do we want?
I love this group. I look forward to reading each of your progress, cheering with you and crying with you. I got to thinking though we all have different goals and needs so what all do we need from this group? We could put up threads for each thing. For example I think it would be nice to have a rant thread. I think a…

consistency
Ok where do I start? I have done zumba (the classes I had to stop and doing it from home just isn't as fun.) I have started a kettle bell routine. I tried to join a gym for strong lifts 5×5 (financial concerns stopped this as well). Then there was the nerd fitness beginner body weight program, c25k, walking, and the…

Macros question
Is it more important to meet the percentages or just hit the goal regardless of it throwing the percentages off. I play with numbers alot trying to hit my macros just right. Most of the time I have trouble hitting my carbs regardless of the fact I am not trying to limit my carbs. Now if you look at my diary I know my…

Heavens to Betsy
I thought it was time Betsy got her own home. So here it is. Lets start building it for her. We have already found out she lives by the sea and someone said she needs a man so I figure she must live in a quaint little beach house. I have always wanted one that was purple with green trimming. What do yall think? We have…

getting kids to eat veggies
My daughter is 5 and turns her nose up to everything beyond corn and a basic salad and raw carrots. She will not even eat any of the ingredients that go into a basic salad seperately. I have tried giving her ranch dressing with them but it doesn't work.

strength training program
I was going to join a local gym here so I could do the SL program. Well due to circumstances beyond my control I cant. Does anyone have any program suggestions that call for less expensive equipment? I was thinking of a kettle bell program maybe. Anything that would give comparable results in both strength and physique is…

post body weight programs before and after
I always see photos for the heavy lifting results but never any using bodyweight programs. I am currently doing the nerd fitness beginner program and want to see if this will give me the results I want since I can't do SL right now.

pull up bar
Reading through the reviews has made me nervous about purchasing one. I can't afford much. $50 at the most. Do any of you have any recommendations, from personal experience, of a specific bar to purchase? While I know you get what you pay for I need something that will work for at least 6 months. I am 204 lbs so it…

I wish I would have.....
I am 47 days in and there are some things I wish I would have done in the beggining and I figured I would share them with you. Taken pictures from the beginning. I was too self conscious. I am now down 21 lbs and since I never take pictures all I have to show is the ones I started last week to this week. Measured myself.…

another 5×5 question
I am starting SL on wensday. While I want to get stronger and shape my body I also want to do fun things like run 5ks and such. He warns that too much cardio or training for races can ruin your legs for squats and DLs. Is there any way around this?

5×5 stronglifts
When you first start, since you are starting with just the bar on the squats and bench press, how do you warm up?

Personal trainer?
Money is tight right now therefore I am unable to afford a personal trainer. I did have an idea though and was wondering if anyone has done it and it work for them. I have considered purchasing second hand copies of the training material for those studying for the ace personal trainer certification and study it to train…

Breakfast bleh
I know meal replacement shakes have been discussed here many times. I know how to eat healthily and within my calories for breakfast I just don't like to. I have never been one to eat in the mornings and forcing myself to makes me sick. Is there anyone who has done meal replacements in the morning and if so did you ever…

Home gym
I want to build up my own home gym. There are a couple pricey items (ex. Treadmill) that I want to get later; but for now what reasonably cost items can you not live without and what do you feel is a waste 9 money and why? I am not a big fan of resistance bands so I know some free weights. I also plan on getting some…

I have been thinking.....
We should create a tradition for our friday weigh ins. Something to add a celebratory element to it. It is the day when we get to see in a number all our efforts from the previous week pay off. It could be in the form of a video that we all do a happy dance to, a special drink, a special food, anything special. Just…

Wish me luck
I am going to see about a job tomorrow. Not only will this job be a good workout in itself but I will have enough down time to go for a walk or run. Oh and it's double what I am making now with plenty of overtime.

Blogs
I am looking for great blogs. Preferably ones that are by people who are still trying to lose the weight. If possible by people who are in the 200+ category. I don't care what exercise or diet regimen they are following because I feel I can learn from them all. I would also prefer blogs where the writer is not promoting…

loose skin
I have not lost a lot of weight yet but I am trying to be proactive. I am 218 lbs so obviously I have a lot of weight to lose. I know working out helps but is there anything specific I can do to keep loose skin to a minimum without surgery?

You are amazing beautiful people and I look forward to getting to know each of you on this journey. If you are open to everyone adding you why don't you add your name in the comments on here that way…

Portobello Mushrooms
Ok folks I have never liked mushrooms. That being said I have never tried portobello mushrooms. I am obsessed with healthy swaps. It has helped me eat so many of the things I like so I do not feel denied anything. I eat a spaghetti meat sauce with spaghetti squash, mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes (though sometimes I…
