You’re doing great! What an accomplishment you have achieved already and what a supportive husband you are! I hope you achieve all of your goals! They are wonderful in that they are for your health and to support your lady. I wish you both the very best and am sending thoughts of longevity and good health to your family!

Thanks for sharing!!! A strength app is truly life changing for Building the confidence to get out in the weight floor. I hear Nike has a strength app that’s free that was voted best in its class. I swear by an app called FitBod. They have GIFS and step by step instructions of every move and you can cutsomize. It costs…

Also, sorry I wasn’t specific enough in my MAKE BELIEVE home gym! The nerve...

Hi, I asked what you’d get not for you to critique what I’d get. You try running outside when it’s 100 degrees in FL. The RUDE people on this site always gotta pop up and ruin the fun.

I am so inspired!

Wow!

I love it! Go big or go home ;D

Oooooo yeah I love those stackable steps!

I like this thread and I like the way the question was posed. It leaves how to answer it open to interpretation of the reader. I enjoy reading the vastly different responses, most of which are substantiated with some background. Followed. For example, based on my 1200 avg I was expecting to lose 2 pounds a week and hit my…

What is a lifting cage?

You obviously do strength! You look fab!!! I started 165 and have been running and doing a lot of strength training at 1200 cal avg. I hope I look like you when all this is said and done!

I am strength training and consistently avg 1200 daily so I have decided not to buy a scale for my new home. I feel my body changing I don’t need to get obsessed and frustrated with the scale again. I’m going to weigh myself in December. Gives me something to work toward. Around that time, I should be at my goal weight but…

Get to one month of consistent logging and working out at around 1200 calorie avg. I just hit the two week mark!

I decided I can’t have a scale in my home because I get way too obsessed. Logging my food and getting a lot of exercise in and I can feel my body changing so I am going to listen to that. I’ll weigh myself at the end of this semester, it gives me something to work toward

What’s currently working for me: - not keeping food in my house besides snacks like fruit and oats. I know this is shocking, but I have no will power or self-control. I even binge healthy food. I am going the expensive route of ordering (usually) semi-healthy meals to my house or picking them up 2 times a day (normally…

What a difference! Gorgeous in both pics, tho. Keep up the great work, hun!

Woohoo!!!

You tell em! I’m currently hangry right now and my food is taking foreverrrr

Can you explain your training plan? I am currently the “before” pic almost to a T

Fantastic job!!!!!!

That is AWESOME! I’ve run one 10k so far and it ain’t easy!!

As someone who has just begun to run consistently (about a 5k most days) and log food, this is what I like to hear!!!!

I did an hour of back and shoulder training today, ran one mile, and walked 2 more. #FlexFriday

Same! I’m going about this round alcohol free.

Thank you for your advice! My fitbod app does the trick on a prgroessive lifting program so I am not just doin g random exercises. Those were just a few examples. I’m glad I’m on the right track as far as getting to heavier weights on my own accord, gotta start somewhere! Also, noted about the Smith Machine! Great job,…

So true

How heavy is heavy lifting? I’ve been training for 5 weeks but I can only lift small amounts. To give you a basic idea here are some examples: Tricep dumbbell exercises: about 20 per arm Smith machine squats: 75 at the most Bicep curls with dumbbells: 15 per arm Planks: 60 seconds All lifting between 8 and 12 reps You get…

Great job! How long did it take between the two photos?? Or by lifting heavy? How heavy are we talking??

I love this! How inspirational! It does make me feel a sense of accomplishment. I need to remember this in days when I can’t even run like tonight (I was to fill, haha) but I still managed to walk my 3 miles and that counts for something! I did what I set out to do in one way or another! It helps us stay accountable to…

I am currently running 3.2 miles most days but perhaps I will work my way up to 4 sooner rather than later!~
