ravenous weightlifter
In terms of weightloss, I've pretty much reached my goal and just want to maintain now. I ditched 5x/week 45min cardio in favor of 5x/week weightlifting + 5x/week mini 20min cardio a couple weeks back. I'm lifting as heavy as I can, to the point of exhaustion. Ever since I started this new routine, I have been extremely…

Improving Bench Press for a weak girl :)
Hi guys, I'm just starting out with strength training. Right now I can do the bar (it's a standard bar, so 40-something pounds I think)... I can do 3 sets of 10. The first set I can do really well, and by the third set I'm a little wobbly but can still do it pretty decently. I've been doing this for about two weeks now,…

What do I do with these weights? :)
I've been doing diet/cardio for 5-6 weeks now and I'm going to start adding weightlifting now. The problem is that I am very weak, and the smallest weights my gym has are 10lbs (all free weights, no machines). Are they any good online references for types of exercises you can do with free weights meant for an absolute…

Check out my diary -- what to eat to stay full?
Hi guys, I've been exercising and watching what I eat for about 5-6 weeks now, and have lost 5lbs. I'm doing 1400 calories/day (roughly my maintenance calories minus 500 per day) and eating my exercise calories. I exercise 3-6 times per week (ballet, walking, a little jogging, stationary bike). My diet has been pretty…

100 calorie angel food cake?
Hey guys - My parents picked up an angel food cake from the Safeway bakery (pre-made), and we were amazed to find that one serving (and it's a huge serving 1/8 of the big cake) was only 100 calories! Now we're all hooked on it, but unfortunately they don't have it all the time. We looked at some angel food cake mixes in…

Hi guys - formal introduction. I'm from Hawaii and trying to get healthier. I found this site looking for a free place to track my meals/calories consumed. Seems like a great place, I'm happy I came. :heart: I'm a big gamer (recently weaned from WoW) and am addicted to eBay. My weaknesses are rocky road ice cream and…

Not a crazy girl, I promise. Underweight but signed up here
Hi guys - I'm 22, 5'8 and around 125 atm. My BMI is right on the underweight/healthy cusp, I believe. Before you start thinking I'm nuts - I have a *very* small frame and no health problems despite my BMI. I definitely look healthy and not "too skinny." I was a constant 120 lbs for the past few years, but shot up to 127…
