Hey ladies,

I was hoping to get some advice from you all, as this is my first time experiencing any type of setback and it is getting me pretty down in the dumps.

I've been sick and had to get...

I wish I had this problem! I always want more!! Sounds like you're getting enough of everything... maybe up your protein to 160? So you can get more calories from a protein shake? But if you feel...

BOOBS! of course :( Im glad you started this thread though, because I feel like I lean out in my upper body first too... minus the arms.

Im about the same stats as you 5'4 ~135 pounds and I was measured at 20.8% (not sure how accurate though) I feel relatively lean considering I'm close to the 140s... but who knows!

When I first started, I followed the Jamie Eason LiveFit program on here. Its free & tells you what workouts to do & demonstrations. The hardest part for me was wandering around trying to figure out...

Leg day ALWAYS gets me too. I just take the soreness as I did a good job :) I've hit legs a few times when I really wasn't feeling it, so I would still lift heavy but with less volume - and wouldn't...

I havent had mine in 8 months. I go in Tuesday for an ultrasound. They arent taking blood as far as I know... she wants to see if my uterus is basically "full" - horrible way to word it. But she...

looking great! you have same stats as me and look to be about the same bf% too... not really sure on what mine is... mid 20s?

I know how that goes. I smoked my first cigarette when I was dieting... I would lay in bed just thinking about how horribly bad I needed chocolate & lots of it. Seems crazy but its true! I promise it...

Splenda and cinnamon!! Never had coffee with creamer... i like it as is :)

You are so young! Girl, you need to eat way more!

And I got amenorrhea when I dropped down to 20% bodyfat... so you dont have to be SUPER low BF levels to get it. Could be lots of reasons, but...

It sounds like you're doing everything right! Focus on glute dominates exercises if that's what you want to build. I think you'll be surprised how small you are once you drop bodyfat. I always...

Thank you for the advice. Yes I do sit quite a bit during the day. I had pain on the other hip months ago but it wasn't this painful. Looks like I'm with you on the hip flexor problems!

Thanks for your response.. Icing now! Crossing my fingers it feels better tomorrow, because it hurts like a b*tch! :/

Hey ladies,

Today at the gym, I somehow managed to really injure my left hip flexor. I was doing back extensions just fine, then I went to do some ab work.. and immediately felt a sharp pain when...

X2!! Eat to support your cardio. When i cut out cardio and focused only on lifting, i found that my heart couldnt keep up! Lifting heavy can definitely be a cardio workout! I had to take more breaks...

I did a cut at 1200 calories last year, and once weight loss stalled, there was no room to decrease cals again. So definitely up cals some! I think energy dropping off during a cut is pretty common,...

Yes 3 months is plenty of time!

Anybody have any experience with this?

I did shoulder presses fine, side raises fine.. then went to rev peck deck machine and on my second set, I felt pain. I stopped and attempted to stretch it....

I have the same problem. I used to sleep like a baby, but lately not so much. Im lucky to get 6 restless hours a night. I agree with the above poster on eating carbs before bed. I had a carb refeed...
