Lifting NSV
Ok, so these numbers aren't really that high, I know, but they're super high for me. Tonight I did assisted pull-ups and I'm pulling up 100 lbs and deadlifts at 95 lb. I still can't squat much more than 65 lbs. b/c I just feel so unstable, pretty sure that's a form problem that I need to correct. I can also do 5 regular…

Lifting at home
I now have a bench, dumbbell, barbells, and 85 lbs of weights in 10lb, 5lb, and 2.5lb. I need a regimen keeping in mind that I am also doing RI30 for the next few weeks as well. Female, CW 238, 5' 5", TDEE-30, wanting to hold on to muscle and tone while losing fat. Need any more info... ask. Diary open just in case you…

If you would please...
I am a 32 yr old female, 5' 5", 238 lbs... I currently exercise by walking the dog semi-daily, lift weights 2x per week, and have a generally lightly active lifestyle other than that (I have a job cleaning part time, take care of my home, and 4 yr old twins). I am also about to start RI30. I've ordered a food scale, I use…

RI30... it's time.
OK, yoga mat on the way from Amazon, borrowed RI30 from my sister, got a HR monitor... it's time. Wish me luck and please tell me this isn't going to suck (even if it will). Taking pics and measurements tonight and starting as soon as my yoga mat arrives. Is it weird that I'm nervous? lol. If (WHEN) I make it through this,…

Protein making me crazy
Trying to up my protein... I've got seafood, chicken, hummus, yogurt, avocado, nuts, peanut butter, etc... My biggest problem is getting in veggies while still getting in protein and staying under my calories. Suggestions?

Weight training
I'm very interested in heavy lifting... I really dislike cardio (I do walk my dog, clean my house, chase around two 4 year olds, and have a part time job cleaning) but as far as treadmills and bikes and crap go I just hate it. I do, however, LOVE lifting weights. It makes me feel strong and accomplished. The question is…

NSV... food
NSV, but maybe more of an epiphany... So, I ate at a buffet tonight for the first time in over 2 months. I used to go in, no salad, 3 plates of food, including yeast rolls, and a plate (yes PLATE) of dessert. Tonight I had a salad, one plate of food w/ a lot of veggies, no bread, a few pieces of fruit, and ONE SMALL…

Upping my calories...
So, yeah... I've been reading a lot around here lately, and from other sources, about all of this BMR and TDEE business. Well, I'm going to up my calories from the 1,440 that MFP calculated for me (250 lbs, but down to 239 now, 5' 5", 32 yrs old, and wanted to lose 2 lbs per week, lightly active, working out 2 days per…

OK, so I'm gonna use the Msg. Boards
I've been tracking my calories for a few weeks now, and lurking here... looking at weight loss pics, tips, tricks, advice, etc... Thing is, I'm trying to change my life. I'm 31 (32 this month) and I'm afraid to turn into my father who, at 66, has a pacemaker, diabetes, and an assortment of other medical problems related to…
