Hey guys I'm new
I've been stalking for a bit to see if this group would accept a complete beginner and you ladies are so inspiring! I still have yet to get a gym membership but I have a bar that I'm practicing form with. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself so hi!
-
Smaller sets?
I saw there was another program, starting strength, and i think the set are 5x3 VS 5x5, would that be a better starting point? Or do most just jump right into the 5x5?
-
warm ups?
I'm really new and so I'm going to lucky to get through the 5x5 squats, so squatting for warm ups I'm really afraid to try. Maybe a quick jog on the treadmill? What else can I do to get my body ready to lift? Any advice is SO much needed! Jumping the gun and joining a gym today.. yikes!
-
Am I doing this right?
I'm practicing my form with either no weight or my little 5.8 lb bar and the squats are killing me! I did maybe 3 sets 5 and the whole fronts my thighs and the backs of my thighs are killing me, ouch.. are these the right places to be sore? hell there is no way I can do that with a 45 lb bar...

Set backs, how to deal!
I was doing great, in week seven of P90X3, losing weight, gaining muscle, everything was wonderful and I was alive and full of energy. Then this sickness came over me and I was useless. It's been a week now and I don't have the energy and or the stamina to do anything! I feel like I've undone everything I worked so hard…

Well dang, I thought we had a "goal" thread???
Anyways.... I've come up with some new goals for myself! As I'm nearing the end of my journey as a "shredder" I thought, dang.. shouldn't I reward myself for this?? Uh, yes! Yes I should! So in honor of completing the shred I will be getting myself a fitbit flex and fitted running shoes! How's that to get my rear in gear?…

Who's ready for a rant?? Me? okay!
Well yesterday has got to be one of the worst days of my life. It started where I had to go to the dentist because I had this gap in my back teeth and I thought for sure I had a cavity. So I get there and find that I just have a really old filling that came out and he needs to put in a new one. No biggie, sure, lets do…

I know that they aren't huge results but I'm really proud and as I'm stepping into level two tonight, I'm in need of some motivation. Don't let me give up guys! I've gained some and lost some but ultimately ended up at 143 when I started at 146. I gave up soda -mostly.. And log everything I eat and drink which I recently…

I'm always hungry now!?!
I know that I'm not a huge eater but I've been able to get by with what I do eat. However, as of late.. I can't get full. I'm starving all the time! I understand that my metabolism is probably in overdrive due to the workouts but good lord, I can't eat every 30 mins!! I'm already drinking two protein shakes a day, one for…

Day ???
I really can't remember what Day I'm on! Twenty, maybe twenty one?? Anyways....today I did level one in the morning, a few sets of wall pushups (I will master pushups!!) and then level two just now. I feel like a freaking Champion! A champion that wants to dive face first into a pool of ice water LOL. Anyways... I'm…

I am going to!
I am going to eat more food today! Even it's just the protein drink, I'll drink 3 glasses if I have too!! And I am going to do my workout! Even if I have to curse at her the whole way! And I am going to log my food! Even when it tells me I'm starving, which I'm clearly not. This week is going to be my come back!

Venting about life.
I think, and I really hate this but I think I'm throwing in the towel with my marriage. I've tried everything and I mean everything but I can't force him to be a husband and a father if he doesn't want to be. Sometimes I wonder if we would all be happier without each other. Last night he went off on our 6 yr old, bringing…

Could it be fate?
So I had to quit running because I need to get fitted for the right shoes. It killed me and I still hear songs on iTunes and remember the feel of letting it all out on the track. I've been wanting to get back to it as soon as I get fitted for the right running shoes. I've been saving up for some, I know they're…

What makes you, you?
Just those weird quirks we all have! -I can't deal with anyone touching my toothbrush ever. Not even the handle, not even to move it. I will throw it away and grab a new one, I have several in supply. -I will not eat the part you hold of a sandwich. Even if I'm still hungry, I'll make another and trash that piece that I…

We are more then a pretty face, what do you do?
Just curious about maybe getting to know some of you better. I like to get close to people I chat with on a daily basis. So what do you do? Stay at home super mom? Amazingly patient teacher? Nine to five pencil pusher? Any hobbies? What else do you do beside let Jillian stress you out? Me.. I'm a mostly happily (he has his…

Day Seven baby! I owned it!
Wow...I don't know where all that power and energy came from today but I was a power house! I put Jillian to shame on those punches in the cardio and I even got through the whole end with the bicycle crunches! I feel amazing right now! I can't wait to carry on to day ten and take some progress pics and measurements! I'm…

Finishing up Level One this Week!!
Yes I know that means I get no rest days but honestly I feel better when I exercise daily and the shred isn't that much. So everyday at 7pm, I'm going to be a shredder! This post is for accountability mostly. Start yelling if you see me slack, I give you permission.

Shredder -day 8
Day eight of the shred, still on level one and plan to be on this level for some time. I feel ready on some parts to move on but others are still a chore and I know I need more work. This isn’t a race and I’ll stay put as long as necessary. I love the energy level I get and I'm just so happy all the time I probably make…

Hello, I'm new here!
Hey guys! I just started really getting serious about running/walking three weeks ago. I've always wanted to be able to just go for a jog but unfortunately I have something that holds me back. Last year I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma. I know that one way to lessen the issue with this illness is to strengthen your…

Anyone doing the color run in Austin Tx
I'm thinking about signing up for the color run out in Austin, TX in Sept this year and the thing that kinda sucks is I don't think anyone I know from my town would want to go. Even my husband turned me down.... Sounds strange but is anyone else going and maybe we could keep in touch... maybe even start a myfitnesspal team…
