    Are clothes getting bigger or is it just me? 5'2,160lbs, size 8, and fitting smalls???

    I feel like my PT is pushing me too hard. How do I tell him this?

    @allroads You’re the one paying him, it’s okay to say that you want to ease up a little bit if you’re feeling like it’s too intense. Any decent trainer will understand that you won’t stick with a program that makes you feel miserable, and that you don’t have to nearly make yourself vomit in...

    Says here that the farmer’s carry is a full-body workout. Can I just do farmer’s carries every day?

    @ronaldjose180 I’ve only done this using light enough weights that I was able to hold both in one arm (one in my hand, the other one held against my body with my elbow/forearm) when I needed to adjust the treadmill settings.

    Working out with babies requires sacrifice from the entire family

    @hopeisalive Absolutely. I spent 3 months straight sick this past winter. I’ve still got a lingering cough. The gains have not been gaining.

    6.5 inches off waist, 2.5 pounds heavier

    @theeverydaykingdom That does seem to be a LOT off your waist. Is it possible some of it was bloating/water weight before? I’m your same height, pretty muscular under my pudge, and lost 4” off my waist going from 155lb to 140lb. Took me about 2 years but I wasn’t doing anywhere near the level...
