holy moly i dont even know where my traps are LOL
last night i tried on a skirt to wear to work today (sorting through clothing thats been in storage for 2 years and still figuring out what fits!) It fit and i thought it looked good but something was bothering me....
I asked my husband for his opinion. he agreed it looked good too. I prodded him: "It doesn't look just a LITTLE to tight?" Why am I so confused? Because when I bought this skirt and wore it, the SCALE told me i was 15lbs lighter. and this isn't some flowy hippie skirt - its a straight up, high waisted pencil skirt, ladies and gentleman!
so, was i swimming in it when i first wore it 15 lbs ago? No. Do I look like a packed sausage today, i hope not - I can breath and thats a good sign. This NSV is less about the skirt and more about my mind starting to release the hold the scale number has over me.0 -

Posted in wrong spot on main board--moved here!
I've been doing ChaLean Extreme for a couple months as a hybrid with Bazil Butt Lift. Then I decided to just go with CE and start following EM2LW last week. I have done the Burn Intervals probably 8-10 times through this schedule...one of the 2 min killer cardio parts is doing 20 burpees. I have never attempted to do them normal, I've always gone with the modification, which was super hard for me. Today though, I thought "why not?" So I tried, and I did 8 of them the normal way!!!! I was thrilled! Not sure that my butt was as low as it should have been, but I did them! Just had to share:)0 -
That's awesome!!!0

Today I had a pretty great NSV, I woke up and didn't see my "love handles" protruding as much - so I took a few pictures. I wasn't even sucking my gut in and the results kind of shocked me. That's a big victory for me because all of my weight left sits in my stomach and sides- so when I see that going down I am getting that much closer to goal!0

I hope somebody else thinks this is as awesome as I do.
A lady in my aqua cardio class said to me, "You look like you are disappearing!" And I am not losing much weight while adusting to EM2WL, just much more toned now and I've lost in inches/partial inches almost everywhere. :-)0 -
The other day someone guessed I weighed 55 kg when I'm really 61 kg.
Another one
I had an exciting day at the gym. For the first time when doing bicep curls I can really start to see some definition in my biceps and shoulder muscle. I can see the seperation in the shoulder!! Before the fat was covering it all and couldnt see anything. I couldn't wipe my smile off my face. I cant wait to see some tummy definition. This will probably be a few more months away.0 -

That is awesome... I too have some fat pockets I watch like a hawk. The scale doesn't show me the fat loss...

Today my trainer at the YMCA raised the weights on all my weight machines! He said, "Those weights are not challenging you now. You need to up them, they're too easy for you." OMG, I am getting stronger - AT THE AGE OF 67!
I have made a vow - I can't avoid getting older, but I'll be darned if I will get old and FEEBLE.
I feel so much better and more peppy since I started eating more and now some lifting, which I have added to my 2 hours of cardio 3 times a week. Thanks a zillion times for posting this information and for all the support. :flowerforyou:0 -
Even though I turned my alarm off before it went off and tried to convince myself to stay in bed, I got up and made it to the gym.0

I started my fitness journey in March, after my 67th birthday on 02/22. I had a scary bloodpressure crisis and my doctor urged (ordered?) me to lose 25 lbs. or risk a stroke. So I joined MFP, then I joined the YMCA. My beginning exercise was only 1 hour in the aqua cardio pool. I was in a size 18 bathing suit at that time. I upped my pool time to 2 hours and got a new suit, size 16. I started EM2WL, added strength training/weight machines and today I wore a size 14, lipstick pink swimsuit to the pool!0

Just back from the gym with two nsv for me. 33kg back squat(no machine) 4 sets of 12, 30 kg dead lifts 4 sets of 12. My trainer doesn't let me get away with wrong form and apparently I was gold!! Thighs parallel with heavy squats...very happy and sure I'll feel them in the morning....... Off for protein shake now:drinker:0
