Well I suppose this is the fastest way to get help and advice and opinions. I love reading logs. So this is mine. I am on workout 4 Stage 1. I Have had to make some adjustments since my gym is focused on rehab. My son is there for PT for post chemotherapy, so I thought if I am stuck here an hour a day I might as well workout! So I have what I have till the end of October.

For instance, Squats with a smith machine, Cybex lat pulldown sort of thing, that kind of thing.

I weight lifted in the days of Rachel Mclish ( I'm 46) haha! But I just had to lift heavy in one of those old school gyms. I was only 18-19 at the time. There was only 2 women and yes, I wore a thong and 'tards roflol! Looked good in them tho LOL!!! Ahh those were the tacky days. Big hair, terry head band and wrist bands, all coordinated. No WONDER everyone looked at me oddly in that sweat shop LOL!

So I needed a social life instead of an old beat up gym on Friday nites. All the guys were like Dad's to me back then. So NO social life in there LOL! And there went my fitness until I met DH and got into martial arts. Went so far with that, got tired of black eyes and quit right before my brown belt, got married and well, got fat. Happy tho LOL! Not with the fat. Never had money for the gym, hey, life got in the way.

So here I am many years later with about 80 - 100 lbs to lose. I can't stand to diet, been there done that messed up my metabolism. So I decide just to get moving and get stronger and see where that takes me.

Well it took me down some major inches without pounds lost. But I don't have many people who understand my love of heavy weights. I figure ya'll were fine with it

.

Oops forgot to add stats

Back at the end of Jan beginning of Feb when I started theses are them...

Wt.253.5 Now 253.2
Chest 17" 46"
Waist 40.5" 40"
Bellybutton 46.5" 45.5"
Butt 50.25 50"

Now everyone sigh a collective sigh of relief that YOU don't look like this! It is easier to keep it off then to get it off. If you have your face in a bag of M&M's right now, get it out and wake up!

I love to tell young girls about weight lifting and health, Um, I just have to walk the walk and talk the talk ya know?
