Bumper Plates for Dead Lifts?
Hi guys. I have an issue with my getting my dead lift bar to mid shin. I've been doing the "place your weights on flat weights" but honestly I'm having to stack 3 weights on top of each other to get the right height for me. I work out at home, and don't have endless supplies of weights, so I usually have 25s on the bar,…

Financial Goal?
Hi everyone-I just used mint.com to create a financial goal for when we plan to have baby. I want to have a separate account just for our "baby fund" because this helps me the most as far as working towards a goal and seeing how close we are getting. Has anyone else done this? I have 27 pounds to lose, and I'd like to save…

How is everyone's new year going? What are your resolutions? My resolution is to stick to my eating plan (lowcarb) at all times, and to make any "cheats" planned and really count.

Zika Travel?
So hubby and I have been wanting to take a Caribbean vacation for some time now, and I think I have mentioned it somewhere on here before. Well, now is the time to decide if we are actually going to plan this vacation, or go somewhere that zika isn't as high a threat. We were originally planning an October vacation (where…

What I'm eating
I've been taking pictures of my meals (no snacks!) to help keep me on track, since Im not supposed to log during the whole 30 (and I hate logging!). Taking a picture also helps me realize the volume of food I eat-and makes me put it on a plate. I eat out of containers a log more than I would like to admit. Anyway, on to…

Five Guys Hack-free bacon and cheese!
So this may be old news to some of you, but I was floored when this worked yesterday. I used to go to five guys and hubby would get a bacon cheeseburger ($8.69 ) and I get a little bacon cheeseburger ($6.69) so $15.38. And that was before we added drinks and fries. The only difference between a regular and a little is that…

Buying used weightbench, weights, bar-advice? Beginner here trying to lift heavy
Hi there- I started Stronglifts 5x5 last week using an old weight bench that was found in my mother in laws basement.
