This is today 174.2Lbs 1 June. I started SL 5x5 3 times a week for 4weeks so far. Still no cardio yet.

My next goal is to add in cardio 2x a week to help increase the # of cals I can eat.

Hope these pics can help inspire others as so many others have helped to inspire me:flowerforyou:

    It is a progressive beginners lifting program. You should check out the SL 5x5 group they are helpful and encouraging. It takes about 40 min per workout for me 3x a week.

    I was just looking at the SL5x5 program. I noticed that everyone gained weight but also gained definition and muscle so maybe that is why your scale in not moving. Muscel weighs more then fat, remember, LOL!

    Yes! I am not worried about the scale # because I like what I see in the mirror. I don't think I am building muscle though because I am eating at a deficit so don't have the nesiary calories to build. I do believe there is a bit ow water retention to help with muscle repair.
