    What great progress! I said it before and I will say to again: you look marvelous! :glasses:

    Thanks! You (and others in here) were a big part of me getting to this point! I wouldn't be where I am without all of your support and advice. :flowerforyou: Now I hope I can continue making progress toward my next goal.

    You look great, fab progress. I wish I had had a cruise to inspire me too!

    Thanks! The cruises do help keep me motivated but if it makes you feel better, they also put me a couple of steps back once I return home. Cruises have food everywhere, all the time!! So many temptations surround you and I always come back heavier than I was when I left. It does seem to get the metabolism going though because I usually don't have much trouble getting the lbs. back off again.

    Thanks! I will never be little like you, pandora and cemeirun but I hope to reduce my bf% and be able to see some muscle definition over the never few months. My husband took tons of pictures of me "flexing" but the only place you could see any muscle at all was my arm. (That's why I didn't post them) He kept taking more and more pictures and I kept complaining and he was like, "you just don't have any definition yet". :cry: The rest are still covered by fat. :grumble: But coming from where I started I'm happy to be where I am now. I just hope I will eventually have some noticeable muscle! The fat that bothers me the most is the fat on the side of my knees...it absolutely drives me crazy because it shows in shorts and skirts. Most of it I can hide, but I have that cruise in Feb. and I hope it's gone before then.

    I actually plan to try something else, at least for a while, after I complete this cycle. I have about 2 1/2 weeks off work for Christmas and thought that would be a good time to experiment with something new. Plus this personal trainer has been teaching me some new things I would like to try. I wish I could afford to hire him!!

    Ditto to the above!

    Also, changing things up once in a while is really nice to keep it interesting. I'm starting API 2 myself next week :happy: Please do post about the new stuff you learn from your trainer. It sounds very interesting!

    Here goes - updated pics! I finally lost a little more weight, and inches, and feel like these pictures show a bit more progress. My back fat rolls are almost gone - woo-hoo!

    And for anyone thinking they are too old or out of shape to start something new like lifting weights, the last pictures were taken on my 52nd birthday, and earlier this year I couldn't even do one bodyweight squat.

    I started cycle 5 today. I'm doing much better with my intake these days, so I'm looking forward to seeing what another cycle does!

    Hey all, still cutting here with All Pro's weight lifting.

    Took about a month off a while back but still making some good progress. Nearly in a 'healthy' BMI, don't think that has ever happen before lol

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I am pretty happy with how things have been going. I have completed about 5 cycles and although the weight progression has been slow for me (probably from cutting), my lifting form has improved greatly.

    This has been my first experience with barbells and I am definitely hooked on it now, so much so that I am planning on upgrading my equipment to some decent stuff in the near future.
