1/3 of goal!
It's not much and it took me 3 LONG months to do it. But I finally lost the first 10 pounds :) I can't see it or feel it in most clothes but some fit a little different maybe. I expected it to be more dramatic but, I'm happy. I stalled on stronglifts at home and its no longer safe for me to do it without joining the gym…

So frustrated.
And it's not over the scale, completely. I didn't gain. Last week I blew it. My calories sucked, I didn't exercise AT ALL, and I was serious about gettting back on track. After 3 weeks of everyone having some horrible sickness I just had a crappy week. I was pumped from reading some inspirational stories on MFP to do…

Still don't know how much I should be eating!
Scooby gives me a bmr of 1440 and tdee of 1900ish, can't remember exactly, for lightly active. MFP tells me something totally different and gives me between 1200 and 1320 to eat. I was at 1200 for a while but after reading raised it to 1350. I've been on that for a few weeks and now I'm wondering if I should really be…

Creatine?
My husband did the grocery shopping yesterday, never a good idea but I was sick! He brought home this ginormous tub of creatine. Idk what it even is or what it's for! I do stronglifts 3x a week and light cardio 2x a week. He says its good for me and I should drink it. Why? Does anyone here take it and does it do any good?…

Lower back ache- am I doing it wrong?
I ran through some practice lifts so hubby could correct my form if needed before I work out without him. I did 1x5 squats and over head press @ 35 lbs and barbell rows @ 65 and deadlifts @ 85. He said my form is fine and I'm not sore today except in my back, lowish around where the love handles are. It's definitely muscle…

Strong lifts 5x5 question
I'm starting on Monday and am just confused about one part. Do I do 5 sets of the same movement in a row with a break in between each? Or do I do 1 set of each movement and circulate? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm so excited its taking all my willpower not to start today! Oh! One more thing- is it okay for me to…

Hi, open for suggestions and learning!
Hi all. I was here a while back and fell off the bandwagon so to speak. I weigh more now than ever. Including pregnancy. I've been logging everything that I eat or drink except water with the exception of about 2 weeks where I gave in to the holiday foods! I didn't gain though, yay me! I just started on the elliptical…
