    I'm just finishing up week 5 (yay!) and it's definitely easier to print out the workouts from the site. That way you can bring them with you to the gym and record what you lift and track your progress.

    My recommendation: Use measurements and hide your scale! In phase 1 I gained about 2 lbs. but lost FIVE inches from my waist, hips and thighs.

    I'm determined to only weigh myself at the start/end of each phase. I actually had an argument with myself about it on Monday (Typically, weigh in day), but the anti-scale me won out. :laugh: :happy:

    I'm sick and tired of the ups and downs that come with weight loss, so I'm hoping by lifting and gaining muscle, I'll be able to feel better in my body as opposed to feel better about what the scale says.

    That's such a great attitude! I'm trying to get to that same place, and so far it's going well. I had a conversation with a trainer that I lost ~45 lbs, and now I'm lifting to take some more fat off and keep off the weight. (Of course now I wish I had started lifing earlier!) She was saying that if I'm lifting then I'll definitely keep the weight off.

    Since I started LiveFit I have actually put on a couple pounds, but I have hip bones now - crazy! :love:
  • I think we have to be a little bit creative:) The machine maker may claim to have built something for "every body", but I've never found that to be true. Some are just plain awkward on your body and some just cause pain. I find that with the laying leg curls. I end up causing damage to my body rather than helping it.:ohwell:
  • ha ha, lindsey, I don't like the leg curls either they always hurt my quads really bad. Just wait until you get to a lift called the donkey lift for your calves. It hurts your arches so bad! Hate when I see it on the list for the day.
