I vote for a squat-athon! (hands waving frantically in the air) :D

Lower Body Butt Bible will be my next w/o. Thanks! :D

I'm glad you asked this, it's an issue for me too. I'm thinking I'm either going to have to lift really heavy, or do high intensity w/o like plyo. My main goal is losing inches, with the longer term goal of building the strength and getting a tiny bit of definition in my legs.

Do you have any knee or other issues that need to be considered? Preference or dislike of certain workouts? Can't stand step, kick boxing, or can't get enough? Can you give an example of a type workout that is challenging enough for your legs? What are your goals for your legs? Maintenance...

Today- fitting into pants other than sweatpants. recently- not eating while I'm preparing my family's food. Gave away the sweets that were tempting me. It wasn't even very much calories, a handful of frozen chocolate chips and the last big gingersnap cookie, but I can't handle...

Anyone want to post their nsv? Examples: Fitting into your skinny jeans, doing a Cathe routine without modifying, breaking your record, losing inches, you get the idea. :eek:

NSV alert: I can finally wear jeans, and I'm very close to wearing a pair of cargo pants. 2 that are NOT sweatpants. Can't remember the last time pants fit. All I had left 3 skirts and some pants for work that shrank in the dryer, so they are too short. Really didn't seem right to wear any of...

sorry for that downer, at least my back side is feeling smaller.

Having a bad day, just in a bad place mentally. Just feeling like everything I'm doing for the job interview is for nothing, because the hours they will probably want me to work just won't work. Also, I still don't know what I can wear to the interview tomorrow. I don't think any of my pants...

Congrats on your weight loss. I lost about the same amount, and it is really hard work.

I'm not a professional, but that doesn't sound right at all. Maybe what they meant was no strenuous exercise. If you're not on bed rest, you could at least go on walks, pilates, or other exercises that are easy on the body.

I find this absolutely fascinating. But my appetite is significantly less when I exercise. Working out daily again immediately keeps me more in tune to my body when I'm trying to lose weight. I'm trying really hard right now to just eat when I'm hungry, and only enough for what my body needs. I...

I think the key to making the beans blend in, is making them a paste. I would think you could make black bean 'fudge' too, it's the similar color and texture when it's wet. I wish I had thought of all of this first. Talk about a million dollar idea. When I was in elementary school, they served...

I have made black bean brownies. My kids didn't taste the difference. I have to be careful when I made them, because it's easy to just up the beans and give myself license to eat way too many. I have seen recipes for cookies with white beans or garbanzo beans. I remember they said peanut...

For people that don't like fish very much, you could take a creole or asian approach to your recipe. For instance, adding a bit of seafood adds such depth of flavor to gumbo or many of the other recipes. You could say the same for many asian sauces. I like to add a bit of the fish oil to brown...

Here's another routine: The Doug Hepburn Method http://www.powerliftingwatch.com/files/The%20Doug%20Hepburn%20Method.pdf

Hi everyone. I spent most of the day running up the stairs while cleaning the house. I'm trying to use my Fitday account again for logging how I'm doing. It's working out so far.(same account name) I love all the charts! I have a couple job interviews coming up, so I'm trying to prep for that...

I hadn't thought of that! :eek::D

I'm thinking about training for an amateur power lifting competition in July. I think my body gains muscle easily, and I have lots of leg strength even without training. My 1 rep max now for dead lift is 148#(per calculator I can lift 70# at least 20 times), but I have almost no upper body...
