    Holy Shneyekies!!!!!!! If I tried to press 100# I'd be wearing a death necklace! I thought I was doing well with 50. (Hangs head.) :sad:

    You pick your head up right now! Congrats on pushing 50#!! I didn't start with 100#. I could hardly handle the bar when I started on the BP. I failed....twice.....on 100# not too long ago. Yes, totally got stuck under the bar and had to get rescued. Keep it up and you'll get there. :happy:

    Thanks for all of the kind words and support people!! You all are awesome!

    Hi, Congratulations on all your hard work. You look great! How long have you been lifting heavy? :flowerforyou:

    Thanks so much! Started bodyweight workouts in August, barbell "heavy" lifting programs in early November. So almost 7 months on weights, since starting serious strength workouts of some kind.

    thanks. I just started the SL 5X5 Monday and like you I have all but given up cardio. Three days a week I walk around 10,000 steps (job related.....and yes, it is constant), so I figure that is cardio.


    Edited to say that my job requires heavy lifting too.

    Congratulations! You look amazing! I'm 5'9" and started a heavy lifting routine last week--Nia Shanks "Lift Like a Girl". Love her stuff! I'm glad to see you got great results with her. Keep up the good work!

    I'm looking forward to only doing cardio when I WANT to. :)

    Congratulations on starting a new routine. I'm certain you will love this program. I've not done this one, but I know Nia's work. I love that her approach is sane and simple. I don't enjoy long, drawn out, slow and steady cardio. So I don't do it. I like brief high intensity stuff, so I choose to finish my WOs with that. Cardio certainly has its place with certain goals, enjoyment (if that's your thing) and for health benefits, but it is not necessary for fat loss.

    That fact was so invigorating and empowering!! I went on a 20 mile bike ride on Monday because I wanted to, and I enjoyed it! Not stressing over calories burned, just enjoying the time with my husband...and that my strong body was able to do take me that far.
