Ok so I do not have any almost naked pictures of me from before. I regret it now..... and maybe not the most attractive photo of me anyway. I lost 15 pounds using Weight Watchers Feb-May. Then starting running in May, and in June i started using a free ab app and just last week starting lifting, again with a free app!! I plan on joining a challenge group for PUMP in September to continue to tone.

I did it almost free about $100 out of pocket so far!!
And a slightly higher food shopping bill.
Most people like to see improvements on the outside, but the inside my cholesterol has gone down 25 points!!! (Not that I had a problem before my combined is now 150 vs. 177)
BP 90/60 not a vast improvement on that, genetically low bp anyway. Now when docs ask if I am a runner, I can proudly say yes!!! but nothing to do with my bp being so low! lol

So I am 5'4.5" and weigh 126 currently down from 140. My heaviest was in 2002 I weighed 171 lost it all, but it creeped back up on me!

Can't wait to post pics 90 days after PUMP as I contiunue to improve on myself.

    Nice!! What/where do you lift? I'd love to get more into lifting, but with my budget, a gym membership is just not feasible. I currently do strength training with bodyweight and dumbbells, but would like to have a better regimen. The heaviest I lift is squats with my fiancé's 35 lb kettlebell. :glasses:

    Maybe I'm using the wrong words and I really don't know what I am talking about? hahaha
    You probably now more than me. I have an app on the ipad I do 10 minutes arms, 10 minutes abs, and 10 minutes butt. I only use 5 lb weight (remember I only started last week) Also this is all that I have right now... I am sore, but not overly sore in arms and butt area doing my 10-10-10 plan. These are free apps on the ipad called arm workout, ab workout ans butt workout (Sorry I do not have more of a description) You can use as much or as little weight as you want. I am going to start BB PUMP next month, I believe that barbell is only 35 pounds for that, but I will probably start off doing 10 lbs. I am joining a challenge group through BeachBody if you want to join in, let me know. It starts Sept. 15th! Not cheap, but my friend is a coach and I hear great results with following it 3 days a week for 90 days.

    Ah, ok cool. Sounds similar to what I've been doing. I have the Turbo Jam series on DVD, and I really love the Turbo sculpt, I just need to up my game a little and get some heavier dumbbells (5 is the highest I have right now, too). I hear as long as it's heavy for you and what you're doing, it's heavy enough. :flowerforyou: Let me know how PUMP goes for you. You're looking awesome!! :drinker:
