Hiya

I know there's a load of groups already on here for this but I thought I would see if anyone just starting out on this programme would like to join together to offer support and motivation and I suppose compare notes on how they're doing.

I've just finished my first week (well really i started weeks ago but for reasons of my own fault never really got to following the programme properly :mad: :embarassed: ).

I'm 5'7" and 137lbs at the minute. My aim with this is to shave my BF% down and trim my wasitline and gain some nice defined muscle.

Look forward to hearing from you and your stories

Libby :drinker:

    I just got the book from the library, and I am trying to figure it out. I think this would be a good program, but not quite ready to start. I don't have a gym membership or much equipment at home. I was trying to figure out which squat or exercise to do with each workout. I would be interested in any tips you might have. Sounds like you have done lifting before. Good luck. I am trying to decide if I am dedicated enough to purchase a copy and some more weights.

    I can't wait to get that far, I love lifting. I have a dilema though I love my gym but its not exactly equppied for heavy lifting, I have to clean and press the body bar to do the weighted squats, although I suppose that could be a 2 for 1 bonus

    I found i liked lifting when I did a regular body pump class at the gym although it was only light lifting. It took me a while, and help from MFP to get my head around the set up of the routines. You'll love it when you're ready to get started
