Hi Ladies,

I just want to introduce myself. I have been working with a trainer to learn the lifts and will start SL next Monday. I learned rows at my last session and am on my own in the gym from now on.

My goals are first to get strong and second to lose fat. I am not sure what my happy place weight-wise will be, but I expect I need to lose about 50 pounds.

I am very excited and a little nervous. :: waves at everyone:: "hi!"

And ugh! I changed my screen name from my email but the site isn't showing the change (at least to me). It should be "Southerdaisy4".

Hi there and welcome.

I don't know anything about user names, so just gotta wish you good luck and maybe it just has a delay before the change holds over. However, also good luck on the weight loss. It can be a challenge. I've got probably around 50 to lose still, not counting the 25 I've lost so far since summer. I have done stronglifts just for a week but it's a nice challenge. Will see you around in the monthly update forums.

Hi, and welcome!

Not sure how much lifting you've done in the past, but if you're just starting out, remember to ignore the scale for a while. It's going to go a little wonky the first few weeks, so don't get discouraged!

Thanks!

@ Crabada. I started with the trainer about 4 weeks ago, twice a week for an hour. I gained about 5 pounds, but lost 3 inches of my waist, 1 off my hips, 1iff my tush, and 2 off my bra band. I'll take that deal!

Welcome to the group! Judging by that username, you're not planning on receiving email notifications or forgetting your password uh? lol ;P

I'm not sure what's up, but I changed my profile picture almost a week ago and it doesn't seem to show the new one after I post. MFP and their "new" forum that takes forever to load... Ha!

(Of course I say that and now my new picture shows up so what do I know?)

Thanks Ladies!

@ Krokador - It's legit. I only give out it to register for sites/forums etc. so I don't spam up my regular email.
