Ladies who lift (or ride horses, or pole dance)

You sound like my kind of friend, OP. I'm not much of a cheerleader, but I am here everyday. Good on you for your first deadlift! My first one was 95 pounds, but I'm kind of an amazon so its expected.

I absolutely love weight lifting.

I'm new here and would be happy to be friends. I've been lifting for a little while (couple of months) but not regularly, only been for 11 sessions or something, but feel so good when I lift. Like I'm Arnie or something lol. Starting to eat properly and really smash it before my wedding in December.

the program the gym dude has me on is vertical chest press, compound row, lat pull down, 12 reps, 2 sets and currently on 42kilos (I think its roughly double to convert to pounds?) I'd like to be dead lifting but wouldn't have a clue. I'm scared to book in with trainer dude and be like "I'm ready for more stuff" when I have only been a couple of times. I'd really rather just do what I'm doing now, only instead of including cardio in my workout go for a jog every second morning and night, and then lift and lift alone for a whole session every second day. (atm he has me doing cardio for 15 mins before and after lifting)

Hey shadow box and ride horses and used to be a pole dancer in the privacy of my own home. I am fat and lost two pounds in a week. Lets be friends.

Hiya im doing NROLFW, just finished stage 1.
I ride every week at least once and Im hoping to start pole in a couple of weeks when i can pluck up the courage lol.
I shall send a FR. If any others would like to add me then feel free but do send a little note with it please. ????

I was a cardio junky. Cardio plus starving myself was making my angry and the results stopped, but I don't think I can give it up completely. I love the way my lungs feel after a sprint. But lifting has now taken priority because I love eating. lol. I also really love that DOMS feeling.

I'm on Day 2 of NROLFW and I'm gonna kill it today!

Feel free to add me! I love LIFTING. I am less fat than I was before too.

Have a wonderful day everyone and happy training! xXx

I'm petite, but I still eat a lot. Yeah, 1200 calories is breakfast.

Hello everyone, I'm not new to the app, just new to the forums. My story is as follows...I'm 34 years old, 5' 4', 150-155 lbs (depends on the month). I've always been an active kid, played sports as a teenager and I joined the Army Reserves when I was 20. Physical fitness is not a stranger to me. However, motivation has always been off and on especially if i workout by myself. Needless to say, my weight jumped up to 185 about a year ago and I was no longer "fighting fit" as the Army would say.

So I made small adjustments...no more soda (at all), I've split my meals for 5-6 times a day, water consumption up to 8 glasses or more, and vegetables, fruits and more vegetables. I'm a meat eater and a carboholic (especially having rice as a staple to my diet) so lean meat when i can and limiting carbs (i still have cheat day though) I started lifting again about a year ago and attempt to do it 3-4 times a week...it's an ongoing battle, but for me getting up before dawn and working out gets it out of the way. But i actually feel sad when it's my rest day, so i end up going for hikes and walks just to feel the rush.

Lastly, I love to lift...cardio is my enemy and i do it only because i have to...otherwise I lift... I'm no expert at weightlifting or nutrition, but i've made gains with what I've done. I look forward to learning from everyone else and offer motivation when needed. I'm looking to reach my max Army weight for my height/age at 149 lbs, but because my body type packs muscle...it will take a lot more dedication to get there...i just plod along with small changes

I went out and bought my own bar, rack, plates and bench about a month ago. I is hooked on hoisting heavy objects every which way now. I also bike and hike. I always eat, no starvation mode for this girl.

Never pole danced, but desperately want to try.

Friends? I think we should. Sent ya a request.:flowerforyou:
