5'9" ladies......what is your goal weight
When I started with MFP (Jan 2012) I thought I knew my goal weight. I thought I would love to be at 180. I reached it last month and have since lost another 6lbs. I know all of our bodies are different shapes and sizes but was curious as to what your goal weight is? I was skinny at 145 when I was 18. I don't think that…

Alcoholic Beverages
Had a fun Saturday night with a few drinks. Hate that I consumed so many calories from it though. What are some low calorie alcoholic beverages? Going out of town in a few days and I want to be better prepared to make better choices. What do you drink and what is the calorie count...if you know it?

How much do you squat?
I'm new to squatting with weighted bar. Just curious to see how much other's squat? I know it will vary from person to person but I'm just trying to see where I am at with it.

Weight Lifting Gloves
A few weeks ago I started lifting more and doing cardio less. I started noticing that my palms were getting rough, where the fingers meet the palm of the hand. Got some weight lifting gloves and have been using them for the last few days and today my hands just hurt. While lifting, they don't bother me but all day long,…
