Okay I am 5ft 7in and was 135 lbs which is in the normal range, but my goal is to lose ten pounds. MFP had to at 1510 call intake with the stationery setting (meaning I worked at a desk job or was a couch potatoe.) Okay, all good. Except now I lost 3 pounds (yay!) And have 7 pounds left to go.

Hello! Where else can I get my protein besides meat? I realized I depend a lot on my meat intake for my protein. Any low cal, high protein snacks you know of?? Is there such a thing?

It gets better right?
I mean, I know that it does. I just want to hear from someone who started the same way I did. I've been doing some weightlifting with my husband and I felt really embarrassed when I couldn't do what he thought a beginner should be able to do. For example, the bench press thing.. I could only handle the bar alone (and…

Can't do a squat properly
It seems that when someone is teaching me how to do squats I wake up the next day feeling sore but when I do squats lets say a week later on my own (the way I was taught) it doesn't feel right and I wake up the next day feeling nothing. It's frustrating because I know I'm doing them wrong as I am doing them and I can't…

What is your motivation? How do you discipline yourself?
Obviously, the hardest thing in this journey is getting up and going to the gym as well as stopping yourself from eating unhealthy foods (or eating in moderation..which I think is twice as hard) As a newbie, I'd love to know what tips for motivation and discipline you would have for me.
