    I am so impressed & inspired!!

    About how long each day (time wise) were you lifting? I just joined Gold's Gym and I'm trying to step away from the cardio and hit the Circuit Machines, but it's hard to do, even though I know I need to. I'm thinking about doing the machines 2 of the days that I go and mostly cardio on the other 2 days, but I don't know if that would be more beneficial than 20 minutes cardio and 20 minutes weights. (I go on my lunch break so I only have about 45 minutes total to workout).

    I would love your opinion.

    Awesome!

    I wish I would've done this back when I was 26. I dieted instead of lifting and that was my downfall. I could've saved myself decades of struggling.

    I'm so happy for you that you figured this out at your age.
    (I'm 51 so forgive me for saying "at your age" :flowerforyou: :happy: )

    Thank you!! I go to golds also lol :) I'd concentrate more on lifting then cardio, you burn more calories!! :) but I do think cardio is important for overall health.

    I do weighted crunches (the machine) using about 35-40lbs, 2 sets of 20. Then 20 side crunches (each side) on the exercise ball and then 20 reg. Crunches. Then I do 30 leg lifts and then finish out with 20 weighted lat exercises (20 each side).

    Those are some amazing results for one month. I just joined a group here on MFP, the New Lifting for Women. Hoping to get some pointers to tone up. :) Great job.

    Wow that is awesome... you are helping me reaffirm the fact that I have been eating WAY too many carbs.

    I wont be able to get as low as you are on the carbs but I am for sure going to cut down.

    Thank you for the inspiration
