Thanks mc for this!

I have mobility issues in one shoulder that I've had for years. No pain, though (Oh, it was painful initially! now it just has "issues" - lol).

I realize I should see a...

<<< :( :(

Seriously, though, If you've been thinking of this for 10 years you should at least make an appt with a PS to get their input. Have you? Go for it!!

OMG, LOL!! I'm sure it happens occasionally -- so what?! And the fact that you think it's ubiquitous and feel you need to warn us about it can only mean that you actually partake of it. You're...

see my eta, up a few posts ... that would be the only reasonable explanation i can think of.

Well, what's really amazing to me is that those are pictures of the same woman. Talk about a recomp!

I just looked at the link FBM provided above (thanks for that!) and, wow, there are some great...

This^. It's marketing hype trying to convince you that you couldn't posssibly train without them. Loads of women (and men) on this site are successfully meeting their goals in the weightroom without...

I think it just weighs less due to the moisture being drawn out in the cooking process. So 100 g of raw might weigh 80 or 90g cooked (totally guessing on that, but you get the idea). Anyway, it might...

Well, Rowyn has pretty much covered it all. Just wanted to add a few thoughts...

1 month is really not enough time to judge whether this is working. Give it a little longer. If you are eating at...

Welcome to the boards! I think you've described a huge chunk of the women here, actually. Sure some of them are trying to gain or lose a little, but still their primary focus is to get stronger,...

I pulled the pic below out of one of KyleAaron's posts from about 2 years ago. I have no idea who this person is, but such a huge difference in her body shape yet only a 2 pound difference on the...

Losing fat is mostly about diet. Until you get that straightened out, it's gonna be a long haul.

How long have you been eating at this caloric level (1568ish)? Are you weighing and measuring and...

The problem with this is that some people will come on here and claim that their way will work for everyone, because it worked for them. And then, it might turn out that they've done everything...

Just a couple of quick points ...

there are a ton of different types of beans. I don't like some of them, I love others. Has she tried them all?

stomachs shrink and stretch. To say she has a...

Since it's always a good idea to do some warmup sets, why not just start with the bar and go from there? Add 10lb plates to each side and have another go. Etc.

That way nobody will even know it's...

OK, this isn't meant to be rude .. just an honest question/request for clarification ....

Are you sure you're ready for an intermediate program? I ask because a) you're asking this question and b)...

You'd basically need to lose 13 to 14 pounds of pure fat, no muscle!, in 7 weeks. At your current stats that's damn near impossible.

What's the rush?

Not to derail the thread ... but, that's a pretty dramatic example and I have a couple of questions, if it's not too personal ...

What was happening during those 2 years? Were you dieting? Were...

Lol! You sound really frustrated -- I get it. The thing is, you can be super precise and anal about the numbers of calories you're eating, but you can't do the same with the number of calories...

Well how much do you actually eat everyday? How many calories? It's possible you're simply not eating enough to support your goals. Read the sticky on Calculating Calories and Macros to determine...

I agree with this, except the eating every 3 hours part. If that helps you, then by all means do it. But meal frequency is personal - do what suits you. As long as, at the end of the day, you've...
