      If anyone has any weight lifting programs that can be done at home, that would be awesome!

      Thank you :)

      I train 3x a week. The only time I've skipped workouts is when I was on holidays. And sometimes I go to the gym on holidays also :p I love it!

      Look for LorinaLynn. Her transformation has been spectacular, and very inspirational for women who want to see results.

      I think that's the whole point - we all just need to get to a point where we're comfortable with ourselves!! Personally I've never been happier with myself BUT I know I still have a long way to go!!

      Go to youtube and check out P90X results. It mixes strength training with yoga and cardio. It will motivate you!!

      I have just started this week and have lost 2lbs and 3% body fat. I will post some pics after a month.

      Good luck with your training. :wink:

      Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking for some strength training at home options, as well.

      Also, great progress guys! Hopefully more photos roll in.

      Check out this book:

      http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Your-Own-Gym/dp/0345528581/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333224218&sr=8-1

      It's a program for strength training using body weight exercises with little or no equipment.

      If you want to FR me, I have one in my profile pics that I'm proud of. :smile: In the past 5 months, I've only lost 6 pounds. But when I put pics side by side, I'm happy with what I see!

      What a difference! How much time do you put into lifting on the average week? I saw that you lift 3x week, but on those days, how many hours is a normal workout?

      For the ladies out there....I don't have pics, but I can share my experience with strength training. I started the Shin Ohtake Max Workout about 7 weeks ago. It focuses on weight lifting...and doing fast, but effective workouts. I have seen a HUGE difference in my tone. I actually like what I see when I look in the mirror. I just had my second child 7 months ago and I actually look better now then I did before my first child. I am a big believer in strength training...I have been doing a lot of research and that seems to be the way to go. The more lean muscle mass the higher your metabolism the more calories you burn without doing anything new. Check out some of Shin's workouts on u-tube and good luck.
