85 lbs down! First time posting "Transformation" pics....
I am not going to write a huge deal explaining what I did, because I did that a long time ago, I just never added any actual progress pictures. So here it is. From 276 down to 191. Now I am trying to shed the rest of the fat and build up a good amount of muscle! Time to become a lean mean vocalizing machine!

I have ordered "Running Anatomy" and "New Rules of Lifting: Supercharged" to start, and already have a book by Barry Sears called "Mastering the Zone" but I was wondering…

What is the hardest lift for you?
Simply answer the question! :D For me it's the barbell rows, the form you have to have is really odd.

My squatting problem....
So, I am pretty sure it is a problem, but not %100 so I figured I would come to the group and see what you guys think! When I do my squats, I can never keep my feet flat on the ground. It just seems impossible for me to do without falling on my *kitten*. lol. I have widened my stance and bit and turned my feet out a little…

Hello MFPeeps. My name is Zach and I have been using MFP since November of 2011, and with great success.

I have been using Medhi's StrongLifts 5x5 for a little over a month now. Started out doing it on a balance smith setup, but then purchased a Squat Rack and free weights set because that is what is recommended for the best results.

Back to Basic Egg 'N Muffin Cooker
I was thinking about getting one of these Back to Basic Egg 'N Muffin Cookers so I could take out some of the processed foods in my diet. I always have a Jimmy Dean breakast sandwich in the mornings and so I figured that this would be a good replacement. Does anyone have one of these or something similar? What do you think…

How should I record my dinner....
So, I am probably going to Subway for dinner because otherwise I will be home to late to eat. What would be the best way to record that since you don't know how much of whatever they are actually putting on the sandwich?
