I'm posting a link to my before pics. They are not resized, so if I post them here they will be huge. I am huge enough, thank you. Can't believe I"m posting these. It's embarressing. Will post stats later. Let me know if you guys are able to view them.
just so everyone knows, in june of 1999, I weighed 228 pounds.
I am 43 years old, and, despite the chunky way I look in my before photos, I am more fit than I have ever been, even when I weighed less in my 20's. so I am here to finish what I started back in 1999. going all the way this time!!!!
OK, we've got eight so far in with pics! Can't wait to see how many before Monday! We're going to have a lot of logs to keep up with, aren't we! Three more days, girls, and we are off and running (lifting)!
OK ... then 6 months it is!!! Our challenge will now run through July 6th just like the men's, with final poll put up on the 7th ...
Excellent! I'd prefer the entire 6 months as well. I'm guessing real comp changes will be a slow process for most of us. So, good call. Plus, we can't let the guys think we can't keep up with them!
I'm really excited to see all the interest in this challenge. This will be an amazing 6 months!

I am in I have not finished reading the book...I have been working out hard since 3rd c-section in 03
I have done alot of BEACHBODY workouts.
SLIN IN 6, Power 90, Turbo Jam and mor recently the gym
I want in too! My book probably wont be here until the middle of enxt week though. But I think that I got both the A and B workouts for stage one...what is the cardio supposed to be...?
8 times each of a and b right?
(a) squats supersetted with pushups 15 X 2
seated row suopersetted with step ups 15 X 2
prone jackknife 15 X 2
(b) deadlift supesetted with DB shoulder press 15 X 2
wide grip pulldown supersetted with lunge 15 X 2
ball crunch 15 X 2
that look right?
Btw, 29 years old, mom of a 1 year old and 3 year old. just competed back in november in a figure competition.
goals: maintain BF around 13-15% weight around 118-120 lbs
gain strength: do 25 real toes pushups and do atleast one pullup by the end of the program
I want to get down to 170 lbs, 25% BF or lower. It will probably take longer than six months, hell probably longer than a year but it's either this or continued degeneration. I'm not getting any younger.

Hey Julie...are you gonna do an official start date post which summarized who is involved and what their starting stats are? it's already confusing as to who exactly is "officially" doing the challenge.
All you ladies look awesome by the way...can't wait to see how things progress.

That would be great..
I've subscribe to the journals of everyone that i know that is doing the challenge..
Those were kinda vague for me. I was not completely sure how to perform those. On youtube I found no demonstration on the exercise. So I made my own video and consulted Cassandra Forsythe. She was kind enough to respond. Said I had correct form. I'd like to share this vid with all the ladies here. Hopefully, it will be beneficial:
