Heres a couple of pics taken today . I just started lifting wieghts with my trainer about 2 weeks ago and he says he can see some good progress.
I cant lift a lot as yet but I hope to increase slowly
I dont have any before pics but plan to take more progress pics
I am 62 yrs old and have lost about 12 lbs in the last 3 months . Now I would like to whittle my waist and get more toned.
On the arm pic it looks like I have hairy armpits ! I don1t ...its just wrinkly skin !!

Not sure how to do pics but I will try

    You had to change the IMG to img. Your arm looks great.

    Congratulations on your progress.:flowerforyou:

    Keep up the good work.

    I strongly believe that the "Fountain of Youth" is at the weight bell area (dumbbell, barbell, etc).

    I am 57 and weight lifting is my favorite activity.

    Good luck in your journey

    You're beautiful!!

    I wish I could get my mom to lift. She's around your age and has back problems.
