Excel Doc w/ food macros? Anyone have one?
So I'm trying to find if anyone has created an excel doc with a list of foods and their macros. I'm trying to get serious about my protein, carbs, fat, etc and I thought it would be helpful to have a document where you could go in and see a general idea of what the macros are. Granted the info will be different depending…

Finally a loss!
Okay so I started eating 1900 cals when I got back from vacation on May 17th. I was at 168 then and jumped up to 173. I don't know if that was from my vacation, bloat, not being able to go #2, water retention, TOM, or my body not used to eating more. Anyways - I was getting pretty down and feeling pretty blue until I…

TMI maybe but asking anyways.....
How much do you think going #2 affects your weight loss numbers? I used to go on a regular basis - as in daily or sometimes multiple times a day. Now I'm lucky if I go maybe 2-3 times a week. Do you think this affects our scale results or maybe even our measuring results? And I find it weird that I had such a change in my…

Weight Lifting Results
I see so many ladies on here who eat more (duh!!) and lift heavy and have great results in a short period of time. I feel like I'm not doing something right. I feel like I'm not showing progress fast enough like other ladies. I know we are all different. I know we all change at our own pace but I feel like I eat good - 90%…

Supplements - What do you take daily?
So now that I'm on board with eating right and lifting weights I'm trying to figure out what type of supplements I should be taking. I already have a protein powder I use after lifting so I have that covered. What else are you all taking and how much do you take a day? I noticed some people take CLA, Green Tea Extract,…

Form - Barbell Row
I've been looking at form on youtube and see 2 ways for doing barbell rows. One is the Pendlay style where the weight hits the ground after your row. http://stronglifts.com/how-to-perform-the-pendlay-row-with-correct-technique/ The second is the one where you bring the bar down to about the knee caps and then bring back up…

Squat Fail
Lol! I almost had a really embarrassing squat fail at the gym last night. All I could think about was this group and how I was reading other posts about fails or embarrassing gym moments with bench pressing etc. Anyways - I was on my 4th set of squats and the 4th one I went down and couldn't really get back up. I actually…

Squats = Leg Pain
So the last two times I've done squats I get this weird pain in my leg. Its hard to explain where its at but take your finger and go from your knee cap all the way up to where your bikini line is for your underwear (girls) and that's where its at. It almost feels like something needs to pop. I get it now even without…

Does anyone drink energy drinks on a regular basis and still have success with their weight loss? I work an office job and sit at a desk all day. It is so darn slow and quiet lately that I feel like I could literally fall asleep at my desk. I like the lo-carb or low cal drinks but i'm just wondering what others thought of…
