Yesterday was arm day.
I did a preacher curl with a 110 lb ezbar which was a first for me. Only 6 reps at that weight, but I'll bring it up over time.0 -
I notice I'm getting slightly stronger. I am just lifting 5 lb. and 10 lb. weights, but I feel stronger (oh and my 18 lb. baby).

Stronger is progress and progress is good! 0 -
The past month and a half has been great. I have lost some weight, but its the inches I am most proud of. 4.5 inches in my hips, and 4 inches in my waist. I am sure I have lost inches elsewhere, but I have not been measuring anyhting else. But i am down one size of jeans and almost into the next. I had lost a few lbs before joining MFP, and now even more on here. I wake up pretty happy everyday!0

I have also found myself to be less of a klutz. LOL. More sure of my steps. Sturdy0

I'm back down to the same weight I was in October! Managed to loose all the stress/holiday weight I put on. I'm even ahead of the game....usually it takes me till at least late April/May to get back down. (Yes, it is a regular trend for me) But I'm not stopping here! This year I REALLY want to get down to my goal weight! (Another 8-10 lbs to go!)0

That is awesome! Success with losing weight leads to success in everything else in life!0 -

I am not immune to the post holiday weight gain. You are making progress/improvements by being better this year than last. Keep building on that.0 -
Started again with King and his plan (spike) on Feb 3, 2013 I have lost I believe 9 lbs and 1 dress size as of present!
I eat 1700 cal daily and 3500 carb load one day. I do full body lifts 3x a week. and some cardio daily.
I love it! I feel great! It works!
Thank you Jason!
**I will update monthly until I reach goal.
King this is a brilliant idea!0 -

Thanks Bea. Starting the group was actually another friend of mines idea. It does make it easier. You have done really well and I have enjoyed working with you. I know you will continue to dominate and win!!0 -
12lbs down in 8 weeks following this plan (again)! :happy:
I wanted to also add that I struggled for a while trying to follow TDEE ( based on calculators and body media fit) -15-20%. I was not losing weight and clothing was getting tighter. Switched back to spiking which I've followed before successfully and BAM! Weight going down, clothes getting too big!0 -

Great loss Jen! Yes, I think there can be errors trying to calculate calories burned from exercise. That is why I don't care what a body media says.0 -
50lb dumbbells are too light for me now (doing overhead extensions)... i started on 35lbs... and there's no heavier weights in the gym! better find someplace else!0

Amazing transformation Tarekstein!! Glad you are on board!!0 -
My shoulders were once my weakest link but they continue to improve.
Side shoulder flies today 35's for 18 a record and shruggs 405 for 23. I have done more on shruggs before but I just reintroduced them back into my routine so it will take a while for the strength to come all the way back.0 -
Week 1= -.5
Week 2= -1
Down 1.5lbs which is more than exciting for me because I think I have finally broke through a 3 month plateau!!!! So excited.....0 -

I had taken a 2 week break from weightlifting & was just doing cardio, I added weightlifting back in 3x pr wk & lost when I did. Doesn't make sense, but I will take it!0 -

I've had what I hope is a temporary set back in success this week, 1.6lb gain. I know weight loss is not linear! Well see what next week brings 0
