Whew! Went out of town and didn't check in but kept up the exercise and tracked as best as I could. Missed a few check-ins, but I'm back1 Just did the last workout of the Caroline Girvan Fuel series. I loved it and will probably do it again to see how much I've improved for some of those first workouts! I did end up…

@dstephanides - Absolutely join in! I seem to be super bad at Sunday check-ins, but Mondays work too! I weighed in today at 196.7 - so 3 lbs down is a yay, the inches are s l o w l y coming off here and there as well. I am feeling more muscled, more stamina, more flexibility etc. So I am very happy with all of that. I'm a…

@kmbrtn - Absolutely! I have been loving doing similar workouts. I'm doing a youtube program by Caroline Girven - it's a TON of squats pushup etc etc with just dumbbells. I am modifying the crap out of everything mind you. I have not worked out for about three years (hence the need to lose some weight)! I'm not carnivore…

Happy Sunday! Check in - was on vacation all last week but managed to successfully log food and excercise every day. Accuracy is probably not 100%, but I try. I didn't measure this morning, but I did get my workout in late, but done. On workout 10 of Caroline Girven Fuel series. I will weigh and measure tomorrow - I…

@GigiLoveandSunshine - 50lbs is an awesome success. Sorry to hear about all the stresses. I'd love it if you want to check in here! Hugs and good luck!

Dang, missed my own Sunday check here, but I did my measurements. 197.9 - so yay! Carolin Girvin Fuel Workouts on: Monday - leg day Tuesday - upper body Wednesday - glutes and hamstrings Friday - all over Sunday - cardio or faster with lighter weights Can I just say MODIFIED! I have some serious fitness work to do, but…

Oops, posted this in July - posting here. WOW, just...wow! Today was a challenge. 53.5 squat (here until I get a rack because I'm getting extra deadlifts here getting it off the floor), 43.5 OHP that last one on the last set was near impossible, Deadlift was 83.5 - a little scary for me, but doable. I'm sweating like I…

Moved to August.

I was sore on the first workout too. I'll be doing workout 13 on Monday and I haven't been as sore since that first few. I might just feel it a little here or there but not like the first ones. Hardly noticeable.

I started about a month ago. Only started with a 13.5 lb bar and was pretty impressed with my numbers from yesterday's session. I took before pics and measurements. If I could get my diet on track I think my results would be better, but I've only just started. I'm trusting the process and what motivates me is how many many…

Hi guys, 47 here - a '70 model. I love this thread! I just started Stronglifts 5x5 and have done 11 workouts. Not seeing a lot of scale movement, but that's expected. I'm loving it, but doing it at home and I'll need to invest in some equipment so I don't have to keep picking weights up off the dang floor every workout.…

Did my 10th SL 5x5 session. I've stalled on my squat unfortunately because I have no rack and I can't get 53 lbs over my head safely. So I'm stuck at 48. Still loving it and looking into racks. My other problem is low ceilings. My son is doing it too and he has to go outside for OHPs with bigger plates. I am not that far…

This is happening to me as well. Have you seen a loss yet? I'm almost a month in, but I will also admit my logging isn't perfect.

12 Week Challenge Starting weight 170 7/9 - 169.8 (-.2) hey, it's in the right direction! 7/14 - 169.2 7/21 - 171 ugh No idea, not losing faith. I've been doing Strong Lifts 5x5 so I'm sore here and there and prob retaining water/building muscle. I hope so anyway.

Tomorrow will be my 9th Stonglifts 5x5 workout. Been loving it, but I have no rack and seems like I'll be needing it very soon. It was good to start with the measles 13.5 lb bar. It's weird not to run every day, but I'm enjoying something different and new.

12 Week Challenge Starting weight 170 7/9 - 169.8 (-.2) hey, it's in the right direction! 7/14 - 169.2 Baby steps! Really working on my eating this week. Good luck everyone and keep going.

Did workout B (squat, overhead press, dead lift) today followed by a 30 min run. So far loving it! I think that's what I'll do, shorter cardio only on lifting days so that the rest day is really a rest day. I was running four to five days a week for about 50-55 minutes. This is only the fourth lifting workout so far.

You go girl!

12 Week Challenge Starting weight 170 7/9 - 169.8 (-.2) hey, it's in the right direction! Have a great week everyone!

I'm in! My 12 week goals are to continue my Stronglifts 5x5 with an easy run after on M W F and a run on either Sat or Sun. Also, no alcohol except on Saturdays - damn summer heat and beers... I'll weight in on Sundays. Trying to loose the 20 lbs I gained this winter!

Did squats, BP, Bent rows and two mile run. Feeling great and hopefully back on M,W,F next week. Week one of SL done! For now, I'll just run on work out days and maybe sat or sun too and see how it goes.

I'd been running about four plus miles about five days a week for about three months now. It's a day off from SL today and I want to do the run. I'm 5'6" 170 lbs - gained a LOT of weight this winter that I'd lost last summer running. Damn Maine winters... Anyway, I don't want to sabatoge my strength training and I was…

Thanks, I also binged all the way through the "so there was this guy at the gym...". Freakin' loved every post!

Man, I feel like joining a gym is worth it just for the entertainment factor!

Hi. I've been lurking around for a WHILE. Finally joined this group and dug out my husband's old cobwebby dusty bars and weights. I am looking at racks and benches, but couldn't wait to get started. I only have a 13.5 lb bar and a 20 lb bar so I started on Monday with workout A with the 13.5. Skipped Wednesday and did B…

I'm starting this in a week or two. Rack and bench will be ordered today! Very excited and my 20 year old son is excited to join me. I've taken some horrifying before pics and measured last week. Not sure if I'll be brave e ought to share the pics. I'm 5'6" and just under 170. I'm hoping for 140 some day, but 150 looks…

Mini goal is to get set up with a bench and squat bar so I can start SL 5x5 - pretty excited to try it! Took before pics for future comparison. Not sure when I'll be able to start because I don't have a ton of money to invest in equipment, but already have barbell and weights.

Not sure why, but every time I get into my desired BMI and I mean JUST into it, I screw it ip and stop paying attention. Next thing you know , back up to 170! First Mini goal is 10 lbs, second mini goal is another 10 and then the third it to STAY ON IT! I've done this too many times to keep ruining such hard work. Back on…
