in Motivation and Support
I am working out, dieting and really into it. Motivation = divorce (cheating husband and wanting to be healthy). I do not have a personal trainer but would like to know if anyone has done this. I want some guns!

    I am so in your boat!!!!!!!! LOL
    I've only lost 20lbs so far but i'm kicking it into high gear now.
    That's almost the best motivation EVER!!!!!
    I know it can be done, i've seen it happen.
    Good luck!!!!

    First of all, GOOD FOR YOU! :drinker: Sometimes we have to be shocked into wanting to change ourselves for us.

    Secondly, I am so sorry to hear of your divorce and it's reasoning....although I am sure many of us can relate :angry:

    You should check out bodybuilder.com some of these women have gone from 250lbs to 130lb and hard as iron :noway:

    The way I see it....anything is possible if you put your mind to it! Just keep in mind that this transformation and lifestyle change takes time...:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    All the best!!:heart:

    I have to say that I am no body builder and I am working on my "guns". I am doing ChaLean Extreme and LOVE IT!!! I have seen MAJOR muscle difference and i am only in my second month of the three month program.

    Anything is possible and you can do it if you put your mind to it!!!

    Good Luck to you!!!

    I'm have been working out with a trainer 3 days a week since July. I can't believe how much it shows in different parts of my body. One good thing about having a trainer is it really gets you motivated even more than you already are.

    agreed!!! Too bad that my first 3 sessions were free and now i have to pay for it...sadly I'm a college student still and working part time so there's no way I can afford it right now..

    when I was in high school I would got the weightroom in my free time and just lift weights with the coach there...he wanted me to get into professional body building...but i never did. :ohwell:

    I signed up for 36 sessions (3 months). I will probably sign up for another 36 week session when I'm done. I want to make sure I know what I am doing.

    I have begun to seriously pursue bodybuilding. I am working on the big weights, not just the machines. You should see the looks I get over in the big boys section :laugh: . My goal is to be proud of my naked body, in addition to losing the 35 pounds I need to. A lot of people say...don't expect to ever get like the top fitness models look...and I just want to prove them wrong. Plus, I'm an old fart and it infuriates me that people think being 40+ means you are automatically lumpy and feeble. BS!!

    How long have you been doing this? I would love to be muscular. Not like a frog but lookin like I could handle myself. How did you get started? What is your routine? I am doing WW, lifting 5 times a week and cardio 7 times a week.
