Adrenal Insufficiency and Weight Lifting
Probably a long shot, but does anyone out there have AI and lift? I'm looking for some info but I'm having a hard time finding anything substantial amongst all the "adrenal fatigue" stuff out there. Anyone? Anyone at all????

Body Fat Goal
I've never put much thought into bf% until recently. My trainer measured me at an estimated 34.4% body fat a couple weeks ago and I almost fell out of my chair. I'm at a normal bmi and that's only getting better as I lose some extra weight, so we decided to use bf% as a goal. I'm small framed (but curvy) and super low…

90 days of MFP
I'm so glad I found this site in February. I'm even more glad I started actually using it 90 days ago~ I started out with dreams of perfection and rapid weight loss. If I lost 2lbs per week, I'd be at my goal weight in 15 weeks! And at first I kept up the pace. I dutifully ate my 1200 calories+ exercise calorie and lost…

Things Are Getting Weird
Anyone else dealing with a bizarre body shape mid-weight loss? In typical hourglass form, I gained weight pretty evenly on my body -boobs, upper arms, hips, and thighs - and it wasn't super noticeable until I started putting in on my waist, and that wasn't ok. Now that I'm losing it, my natural waist has shrunk back down,…

I Love Fat :(
Hello all! I'm having a terrible time with macros, it seems. My unhealthy splurges are fatty, carby things, so I try to limit them and replace them with healthier things, and my healthier choices are STILL fatty and carby. I'm not a huge meat eater, so I've been trying to incorporate other forms of protein, but they all…

I'm All Jacked Up - Advice
Alright, I have a couple problems. I'm in sad shape. Seeing if there's any advice in this sea of knowledge. 1) I'm in an awkward phase with dumbbell military presses. 10lbs is too light after using them for a while, but I recently jacked my neck up trying to move up to 15lbs (which in retrospect is a huge % increase and…

30 Days - 6 Pounds and Lots of Heavy Things
Hello! Today is the 30 Day anniversary of my taking this life changing business seriously. I piddled around and lost around 7lbs just by cutting out some foods that I didn't want/need in my diet. But it wasn't enough, so I dedicated myself to tracking every day. I bought a HRM. I joined a new gym. I tried new group fitness…

NSV - Got My Hurr Did
So I went to my usual salon this morning to get my hair done. I've been super busy and have neglected my hair, so it's easily been 5 or 6 months since I've been last. I sat and waited. And waited. Saw everyone BUT my stylist walk by. And then I hear, "Is that you???" And it was me. My stylist didn't recognize me from…

Quick Question - NROL
I read New Rules of Lifting For Women yesterday, and I decided to give the plan a try. My old routine was a lot more complicated and it was hard to track my progress. I really love my trainer and I'm planning to continue working with her weekly - she's a beast and she pushes me to to be one, too. So my question is, should…

Elbow Pain
Not my actual joint, but the tendons on the inner part of elbow, to the point of my arm resisting straightening completely and me making an ugly fact every time I have to use my arms. I worked my biceps and tricepts on Sunday, and I was my first time trying heavy weights vs lower weights. My arms are definitely sore, but…
