Why can't I have that problem??? I'd never have an issue with my butt being too big.

Yay! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one cutting. I thought I was such a dork for doing so this time of year. I actually officially begin on Monday but I've been mentally preparing myself LOL.

I do this too; I also use my phone to listen to my music But I really do try to avoid texting- unless I see it's something urgent about my kids. That gym time is MINE lol.

Sounds like you had fun on your cruise Stephanie, and it goes without saying that you look great!



I've heard about IF but exactly how does it work? Is there a link or a thread someone can...

Thanks kimm!

Is it normal to feel stronger when cutting? I feel tired but when I get to the gym I'm lifting heavier and heavier. I started out with my stiff leg DLs at 85 and just this week I hit 115lbs! Probably...

My 5 yr son was begging to "exercise" with me as well yesterday. I work out at the gym but I have some 3lb db's that I let him "work out" with, with my assistance and supervision, of course. And he...

^^^ this. So true. I speak from experience. If he is controlling as your posts seem to indicate then he is also insecure. Your desire to improve yourself puts fear in him- fear that he will no...

I use plain and add a tablespoon of SF/FF jello pudding- so far I'm loving cheesecake and the chocolate fudge flavors!

So I had a really long and stressful week this past week. For the most part I kept my cals within limits (1700). But towards the end it got a little crazy. I actually didn't have an appetite most...

I had depo about 12 years ago when I had my daughter and it happened to me...every single day for over 6 months. I tried again a few years ago thinking things would be different (my being older and...

OMG! I read this entire thread! Lots of inspiration and information in here. Can't wait to "officially" join you all-which I will beginning next week. Taking some time off and eating at maintenance...

Bumping this old thread. I have a diastasis and basically I was told the same thing other posters have stated - only a tummy tuck would solve the problem. But I've been reading a lot about the Tupler...

Thanks again...that is exactly what I'll do! I make sure I get my good fats plus I take a fish oil supplement.

So I think I just have to bite the bullet and (continue to) cut. Freebirdmac I. Think you are soo right- I would def be happier bulking with less fat to start with. Doesn't mean I have to like it...

Ok so I'm still reading through this thread...you don't do any cardio while bulking? Just lifting...and eating? Are any of you currently counting your cals/macros etc?

That is one thing I DON'T feel guilty about and I feel guilty about a LOT lol. I have made a lot of sacrifices in the name of family but esp for my children's sake. Not working out is NOT an option....

I noticed that too when I eat lots of veggies- esp salads- and I like to eat HUGE salads lol. I haven't found a way to resolve it unless I just eat less. Or drinking lots of lemon water.

Thanks so much freebirdmac! You've been extremely helpful. I really appreciate it.

I can't seem to escape bloating so I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Most of my favorite foods cause it...

[QUOTE=freebirdmac;877797321]As long as you're lifting and not at a big deficit, you're not standing still. I don't know how old you are but maintenance is in the neighborhood of 2200 cals. For...
