What are you eating habits?
I always read different opinions on meal frequency, timeing, and scheduling Some people say eat frequent meals so you don't get hungry. Another is only eat when you're actually hungry I've also heard to not eat when you're hungry because you train your body to give into cravings. Eating at scheduled times is another one…

Barbell Complexes
So who does them? What are a few of your favorites and how much weight do you use? I saw someone post about it on another topic and it definitely got me interested. How many times a week would be a good amount to do them too

Question for everyone who just settles.
If you're capable of doing a lot more, trying harder, doing better, why are you content with just settling? I always see people saying they'll be happy at a bigger size or whatever even when it's not a healthy size for them. Or women who say they don't care to strength train. What I'm wondering is if you could be fitter,…

What style of BBQ do you like?
I'm from NYC so we don't have "real BBQ" up here in the north I hear :cry: I even just learned that bbq and grilling are not the same thing and I realize I've probably never had real bbq. So how do you bbq? What kind of sauces, rubs, or magic do you like on your meat? What's your favorite meat too?

What's your favorite compliment that you get?
Since everyone's getting in better shape over here, what are some random compliments people give you? For me, my favorite one has to be "What sport do you play?" since I haven't played a sport in years. I also get a lot of compliments on my arms from other girls. Guys usually compliments legs and butt (those pervs!...jk…

Does you neck muscles actually get bigger?
I measured myself for another thread and my neck is a half inch bigger than when I last measured. I haven't measured it in months because I really didn't think your neck could grow. Not that it bothers me since I can't even tell but that's bizarre to me. Is there just some normal day to day variance in neck size or is it…

Let's define "curvy" because I'm confused
Okay, so it doesn't matter if you're a size 0 or size 16 to my understanding. Curvy is pretty much having a defined waist, hips, and breasts. Pretty much having feminine curves in the right places. If you're curvy you won't lose your curves just because you lost weight. You also won't gain new curves just because you put…

Zombie Apolocypse: How are you preparing?
For myself I'm been working out a lot trying to get my strength and endurance up. I made sure I can do a few pull ups just in case I'm falling off a cliff or rooftop trying to run away from the zombies. Its really hard to get a gun license in NYC, but I'm working on that too. How are you getting ready??

If you've got small boobies
Do you still wear a sports bra or just a regular one? I'm a 32c, which is really a b but they call it a c, so I dont bother buying sports bras.

Poll: Knives
I kind of like knives so I was wondering what kind of knife is everyone prepping food with?

Wrist issues with cleans
Every time I do cleans, I have a little twinge on the top of my right wrist. After a bunch of them it eventually starts to hurt while I do them, but goes away right after. I used to have to same problem with push ups, but not any more. So for my question. Is this just a flexibility issue that gets better with time or am I…

I'm a lady but these threads even scare me sometimes :laugh: Do any other girls brace themselves for something extra gross when they get ready to open these threads??

It's looking like one of those days...
So far I had haagan dazs caramel cone for breakfast and lunch. I'll try to make dinner healthy tonight! What "junk" food of yours tastes so good you can eat it as a meal?

Does anyone really listen to their body?
I always see everyone saying this but do you really actually do it? When I listen to my body it says to sit on my butt and eat ice cream all day :laugh:

Survey: Scheduled rest days
Do you always rest on the same days? I try to have Sunday and Wednesday as a rest day usually. Funny thing though is I always want to work out those days anyway

NSV at the gym today
So I was squatting around 170 and when I was done some old guy came over to tell me how great my form was and he liked how I work out. He said I could probably teach the guys who normally come in there a few things too :happy: Probably not too big of a deal but I've only been lifting heavy for many 2 months so its good to…

Sleepy after weight training?
Whenever I do a heavy set I always feel really sleepy after and take a nap if I can. I've only been lifting heavy starting around two months ago. Does this eventually go away? Yesterday I only went heavy on deadlifts and squats. I did 3 sets of 5 each then 3 one rep max with 220lb deadlift and 185lb on squats. It only…

When are you going to stop logging?
I think I'm gonna stop after a year then see how things go from there. So far I've logged in 295 days in a row. When do you think you'll stop and why?

Back to my normal weight
I started eating more at around 133lbs last month and now I'm finally back to where I started. I went from 133 to 138 initially, but now back down hovering around 132-133. My clothes all fit the same, so I didn't sweat it much. I didn't do it gradually because I wasn't part of this group until now. What convinced me to eat…

If you eat too much while lifting heavy...
Would that make women bulky? I know I always hear its not possible eating at a deficit, but I often eat way over. Over as in 2000-3000 calories total in a day kind of over.
-
Is there any way to measure strength training calories accur
I've been using the preset value for calories burned in mfp but I have many days where I've eaten over my calories by like 700 (for weeks at times) and I still lose weight. I'm not complaining about it at all but I'd still like a decent estimation. I usually do machines at the gym and I do 3 sets of 6-8 until failure. In…

Daily pushups and pull ups?
Does anybody do this daily? I try to do as many push ups and pull ups (or chin ups really) til failure every morning. So far I can only do 2 and a half pull ups and 25 push ups. Anyone else do some other quick workout in the mornings?
-
How are some people not hungry when below their calories?
I always see posts about some people having trouble eating enough. I'd be so drained during my work outs if I don't eat enough. For everyone who has trouble eating enough is it more mental or are you just not hungry anymore?

Hello Everyone :)
I'm been on MFP since July of last year but I decided to finally pop in and say hello here. I started at 168lbs back then and right now I'm at 135. I'm 5'3 and I hope to get down to 125 in a few months. I'm going to try to not be such a forum lurker and actually post here lol. Feel free to add me :)

Measurements and size?
This is mostly for girls but guys are welcome to join in :) What is everyone's measurements and clothing sizes? After losing weight I think it's a bit harder to shop for clothes since nothing seems to be consistent. I love shopping online too so it sucks to send things back lol.
