    Right now i'm working on more fat loss but still incorperating strength training but once i get lower on the scale I'm gonna be doing some hardcore strength training I wanna look strong, lean, and toned :D

    Add me if you want, i could use the push, and i'll return the favour :)

    Start training now, it helps! I swear! My body is firming as I go, and while my loss is slow, it's steady and I get a lot of comments on how much smaller I'm getting.

    I'm finishing up stage 1 of NROL4W, and lift 3 days a week. I'm doing Couch to 5K the other 3 days. Can always use more lifting buddies!

    I used to lift primarily...even though it goes against all the old "rules" about "how to lose weight" I was brought up with. It made me feel powerful and sexy no matter what the scale said. I got away from it for a while and just starting incorporating ST here and there in my cardio (love circuit training!) while I tried to train for a race...and found myself on this huge plateau with a bunch of injuries from running and Zumba and the like. Just decided I'm going back to lifting, especially while my foot heals up (PF), and I'm restarting JE's LiveFit program next Monday (4 weeks of blissful no-cardio-lifting-only based workouts!!). I'm ready to feel strong and sexy again, so COUNT ME IN! (And I'm going to laugh in the face of all the people in my life who told me cardio is the key if this breaks my never-ending plateau!)

    Currently I'm doing 3 days a week cycling and 3 strength training. My boyfriend bought a power rack for the basement, so I finally started lifting heavy a month ago doing a full body routine 3 days a week. Now, I'm in my second week of Starting Strength. I never thought I'd like lifting so much -I was afraid that I would get too bulky (yes, I was that girl...). I know better now. :smile:

    I love lifting heavy things!

    I am currently doing NROL for Abs. It's an interesting workout program because it involves strength with a core focus, so sometimes I wonder if I look really odd with my lifts. haha. But it's a great program and definitely hard. My core has never felt so strong. I do that 3 days a week and then some kickboxing, aerial acrobatics (new to that), rock climbing, boot camp, etc for cardio. I like to keep up some cardio to allow me to do obstacle runs as those are so much fun. :)

    I've been working with a personal trainer 3-4 days per week since November. I try to get a good 10-miler in once or twice a week & just got back on my bike to get ready for a Century ride in May.

    ME!

    I've been lifting for years. The last few years I've been working out smarter,not long drawn out sessions... and the results have been unbelievable!
