KrystlePhoenix Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi. I'm new, and I'm from Portland, OR - as my Portlandia reference in the subject may have hinted at I'm 29, some people think I'm 19. I think I weigh 125lbs, but I'm not sure. What I do know is that I've got some flab creeping in and NO ME GUSTA. I've worked out regularly since I was 16, including some weight training. I eat pretty healthy, I keep a food diary over at MyFitnessPal. I'm going to be cranking up my weight training with a barbell at home. I like beer. Quote Link to comment
Lachy Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Welcome to the community KrystlePhoenix! If you're eating well(ish) and you're getting regular exercise, but you still find some flab creeping in, that'd be the metabolism slowing IMO. Try some heavier weights training, there's info and discussions all over this place on it, that should help up your metabolic rate, and make you look great! Can't help you with the avatar, as you can see, I haven't bothered yet :S I too like beer. Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment

My body's not burning those beer calories like it used to That's a big part of the reason I found this site and am ramping up the weight training, so I can build a bigger calorie furnace. Thanks for the welcome! Quote Link to comment
