    Tell you what, how about I recommend a book that will get you started and where you won't need a foster parent? lol

    Anyways, I recommend you pick up a copy of New Rules of Lifting for Women. It's a easy book about the fundamentals of exercise, whether or not you decide to lift weights. I promise you won't regret it, and it'll put you years ahead of most women who workout. Nothing special in the book, just the basics which is nice.

    If you actually do the program, there's a link to pre-filled worksheets in the NROL4W group that make it a lot easier to understand how to do the exercises. Not "do" them, as in proper form, but how many reps/sets for each level.

    I concur on reading this book.
    Full of great knowledge.

    I tried the program, found it too complicated and time consuming for my taste but you may like it.
    You're welcome to add me if you'd like a lady lifter on your list.
    Another recommendation for this book. And agree that it is a little too time-consuming and more complicated than necessary for a beginner. You're also welcome to add me if you don't mind having someone hanging around who isn't terribly focused on restricting calories right now and trying to get crazy strong lifting big rocks.

    Agree. Highly recommend. Let me know if you want to see my hideous "before lifting" pics! Good luck!!!
    Heather lies, the "before pics" are far from hideous.

    25 plus years of hitting the gym, but only until the last few years have I gotten the diet dialed in. It is so true that to be successful it is 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym. And that does not mean cardio!!!

    Sure I'll play... i've been on here for almost 2 years. I've hit goal, lowered my goal, let my weight creep up a tad and then reigned it back in. All in all I'm pretty straight forward and cringe when folks quote Dr. Oz. as a reputable source... I'll send you a FR, check out my profile and get to know me. I'm a little crazy, but mostly in a good way. Good luck!

    It's true. she's awesome. I'm also available if you have any specific questions I'll do my best to help.

    Thanks Jack!!!
