Like I’m now 6months into lifting. I did drop some weight when I was closely tracking but then I gained a little of it back

I used to ONLY care about the number on the scale. I was in a bad place with it. But now I feel better about myself cause I know that I look better in my eyes. But yes I would ideally love to drop in weight.

You’re right about progress photos, i think that’s a great idea

Very brand new to weight lifting. So maybe you are right about gaining muscle mass

Hi! I just found this thread and I really wanted to join! Starting weight: 168lbs Goal weight: 125lbs Current weight: 161lbs Total weight lost: 7lbs This week's successes: Ran a 9min mile without stopping for the first time since high school PE! This week's challenges: it’s that time of the month, so I have been craving…

Hahah easier said than done. But I’ll definitely give it a try. I get really tired easily so sprints are easier since I get a little bit of a rest in between.

Thank you for this. I actually do realize it’s not a long time of cardio but it what I started with, so I guess I’ll add more time to it with more intensity

I seem to like doing my cardio before. I’ve tried listening to the comments on this board and I felt better when I did cardio before! But i guess it’s more personal preference

Wow very nicely put. Thank you for taking the time to read this discussion and sharing your input! Truly appreciate it!

When you say progressing, does that mean like lifting heavier weights than what I started with in May? In some areas yes, like legs, back muscles yes. My shoulders/chest/triceps not so much.

I guess you’re right! Maybe I can do more compound movements and target both muscle groups?

Hahaha, and people like me are drawn to them and their ways

I totally get where you’re coming from, but when is the right time to change up my workout? I’ve heard that if you do the same routine for too long you won’t get the same results? Is that true?

Congrats on dropping 4lbs! I’ll take that into consideration, thank ya!

Yeah, I looked through the plans. I would probably be a beginner but starting with heavier weights which i guess is a good start

Thank you! This was super helpful

Oh I see! Thank you for this

Wow thank you for sharing that!!!! Love it

Thank you! :)

Haha, is it bad to ask a lot of questions? I’m sorry, I recently just found this outlet and these are questions that are always on my mind that I feel silly asking personal trainers at the gym.

Thank you for this! I always hated cardio so it was hard for me to do more than just 10min. But I guess I just have find a machine I like and stick with it

So would I technically still be a beginner or no? Should I start with beginning programs?

Lululemon leggings are great investments! Highly recommend

How would you define minimal cardio? I know everyone has different interpretations

I was really feeling this look hahaha

Just got off work and logging in my last few foods of the night! Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday!

Woah! You got everything right except for relationship status! Killed it!

Keep killing it girl! You look amazing!

Yes!

I’ve been lifting since May, I’ve noticed incredible improvements on my body. But now I need to really focus on my diet and really counting for the summer. Thank you for your advice, I’ll look into your style of lifting
