Bored & fizzling out. What now?
Can't explain it well, but here goes. 43 F 5'8" CW 224 Goal 170 Love SL But I'm bored with it. Want to see more upper body changes other than strength. Scared to pick something else because don't want to lose SL strength. Too ignorant to find a good plan for what I want. Considering ICF 5x5, but still feel it will be…

Can't Retain Bicep Strength?
I have Graves Disease. Had 2 years of untreated severe hyperthyroidism, left me with extreme muscle wasting, and basically started with zero strength in January of this year. I do SL, as well as Body weight resistance and Cardio. My problem is all my lifting is either increasing in weight or sets/reps, EXCEPT for Bicep…

Can't Imagine the outcome
So I have been doing SL for about a month or so. I feel so much stronger and some days, like I am really doing something. Then I come on here, check out everybody's lifts, and well, feel like a weakling. LOL. I can't imagine how amazing I will feel when I start hitting those bigger numbers. I already see a big difference…

incredibly impatient...help
I have been whining around for a couple weeks. I have tried to stay positive. I have TDEE set at a 20-22% deficit, lower carbs. I lift 3-4x a week. Added in walking 3-4 times a week. Lost a lb and gained 2 back. It is not a race, I understand that, but geez. No inches lost. In fact gained some in my calves and biceps.…

Accessory lifts and bodyweight training?
New to SL. Just started this week. Here is my confusion. Previously was doing an EOD total body workout also with push ups, sit ups, bridges, leg lifts, wall squat and plank. I just added in cardio this week with a brisk 2 mile walk EOD as well. I feel lazy at this point as I haven't done any of my total body or body…

I need some help here. Anybody?
So I am new to the board. I'm already really discouraged. I have posted on a couple different sites and nobody ever responds. I am throwing a huge pity party for myself right now and I don't like it but can't seem to shake it. It is a long story. I could give you all the details but I will stick to what is really bothering…

WooHoo! Hubby bought Olympic set today!
So. Told hubby I want to SL & needed an Olympic set. He told me to find a good deal, as I love to repurpose and rarely buy new. Sooo, like new 300lb set for $150 on one of my favorite classified sites. So excited but a little scared . Guess I am starting Monday on SL!
