Those of you who aren't feeling good feel better quick! I'm also a daily weigher. Like Fanccy if I don't weigh that's when I gain. It's been fun seeing it go down pretty consistently.
Got my strong lifts done. Stuck with the same weights as last time
Squats 115
OHP 60
Deadlift 160
Was beautiful out again and got in a 6 mile run.2 -

Great job everyone, awesome workouts! Getting in a real workout today when I get home. Yesterday I was on my feet a ton, and did have some leg pain by the end of the day, but I have seen such an amazing reduction in pain! A month ago there is no way I could stand for 4 hours like I did yesterday while helping set up for the homeshow!
We did one in September, and I think that is when my pain level was through the roof. I was really in agony then. Progress, I'm so friggin excited! Here's to hoping that squats tonight dont make it hurt tomorrow!
I was checking out this thread for inspiration, and I am PUMPED! Lets lift heavy weights! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1120789/females-only-lifting-weight-training-results/p1

I'm still trying to get over this respiratory flu! I think I am feeling better then it comes back and says fooled you! I almost had to quit at half way through!

I am excited to report that in three weeks I have lost 6.4 pounds! I am really excited to take my measurements at the end of next week. I already know that my clothes are looser. It's amazing to me how quickly I put back on the 19 pounds simply from not exercising due to my shoulder injury in October! It is really hard to remove it! Mainly because I have to restrict my food intake to do it!3 -
More quarter-squatters and random weight-jumping going on today, this time a father-son duo. So weird. And so rude, as they left tons of weight on the bar in the squat rack until I asked if they were done with it. Then the dad moseyed over to unrack one side. My kiddo woke up wailing twice overnight for some unknown reason, so I'm a little cranky and tired today, don't mind me.
Squats: 1x5 with empty bar, 1x5 with 85, 1x5 1x5 with 95 to warm up. Playing with my warm up to see what feels best. Working set was 5x5 @ 115
Benchpress: 5x5 @ 67
Wretched rows: 2x10 and 1x5 @ 804 -
Awesome loss, @fanncy0626 !! And I feel your pain @amyinthetardis1231 . I just switched gyms due to the January influx at my Gold's, basically a fresh crop of bros with zero gym etiquette. New year, no thanks

I accidentally increased my benchpress! I increase the squats yesterday. The barbell row will probably stay where it is for a while. Feeling better! Thanks for everybody's support! The scale is still heading in the downward direction but will wait till the end of the week to calculate the true loss.
Great job everyone on your commitment to strength training! I love the support of everyone on here!2 -
Boy it was tough staying on track this weekend while everyone else snacked and drank wine! I stuck to my guns though. I went for 3 walks yesterday so I wouldn't be tempted. 5 miles total and a 10 mile hike today. Oh yeah!
Congrats everyone on your hard work and fanncy on the loss! We're doing it!1
