yeah the OH press is a tough one for sure, it's the one I struggle on definitely :laugh:

oo great thanks for that! I have ordered a dvd already about an hour ago! it was only £5 so not too bad but I'll look at this too :flowerforyou:

it gives me hope at least!!! started lifing about 7 weeks now so fingers crossed one day I'll get the light right and have a picture like that too :laugh: good on ya :happy:

yeah I'm thinking exactly that...I'd like to start yoga again although the classes finish next week here for the summer holidays....might get a good dvd,

cmeirun....I've gotta say your stomach is amazing! how long did it take to get to that stage? I'd love a stomach like that...is that purely from lifting?

haahaa that's good!! :laugh:

thanks! I kinda wish I hadn't said I'd do the triathlon! I do have rest days....although I realised yesterday I hadn't since last Friday so definatey having one today! just coast walking at the weekend as I've done my 3 routines for the week now! feeling it today from yesterday although it was deload on 3rd day but I'd…

thanks! You I didn't know if it was good or not! I have been doing my own routine of upper lower body splits for about 6-8 weeks before I started this. It doesn't seem too heavy on the legs compared to what I was doing before? but I guess I was concentrating on just lower body on 1-2 days of the week before with more…

I'm also training for sprint triathlon which I've just started and doing a 26 miles walk in sept so I have 1 or 2 rest days and train even after doing this routine. I run, swim, spinning classes, coast walk and zumba class if I feel up to it!

Squat - 37.5kg (82.5ilbs) bench press - 25kg (55lbs) bent over rows - 22.5kg (49.5lbs) overhead press - 17.5kg (38.5lbs) stiff legged deadlift - 25kg (55lbs) barbell curl ups - 12.5kg (27.5lbs) dont' do calf raises as I do a lot of other stuff like spinning, hiking,…

thanks for advise...and I am aching today from yesterday so I'll have to jiggle things to fit it in on a working day....I do cardio in between and train hard as it is so better not thanks :bigsmile:

thanks :flowerforyou: can I ask a quick question....have any of you ever done 2 days in a row of this? I have wed/Thursdays off work and its a good time for me to weight train as don't have to worry about kids and work. is it too much to do 2 days in a row? have any of you done this? I did yesterday so the next weight…

crikey about 9 months!!! VERY SLOW!!!! for me but not massively overweigth....good luck!

I'd put hiking....I walk our coast line which is very hilly, steps, rough terrain so similar....and I add as hiking

Hi Sara thanks...it's a good feeling throwing out jeans that are now too big! down to 142.4 this weeks weigh in so I definitely feel that starting the weights has kick started the weight loss again after months of plateau THANK GOD!

Hi quick update....weighed on Friday....was 143.1 so very slightly up....still no change on tape measure BUT I sorted out clothes yesterday and a pair of trousers I bought last year, still had labels on that didn't fit me 4 weeks ago now do so there's definitely changes going on....i'm happy with that. I think the weight…

thanks! i'm keeping everything crossed it stays down and continues!:laugh:

Hey Sara I'm 142.85 lbs today!!!!! lowest yet! I'm amazed as I didn't log at the weekend as my husband forgot to bring the laptop home from work and drank too much wine as family down! and just peeked this morning and voila!!! :smile: just wanted to keep you up to date.... i'm in shock.... do you think the weight training…

thanks Sara just a quick note, I weighed this morning and it was 145.1 - so back up to that unbroken plateau I thought I was breaking last week!!!! although I think my TOM is coming kinda look forward to your estimate, kinda dont'!!! yours cringing! Penny:embarassed:

H Sara I've just sent a private message to you with photos....although I'm not sure they were all added looking at my sent mail? Let me know if you don't receive all of them....the before photo isn't very good at all....as flash went off in the mirror.....let me know if you need any others....I did attach 8 in total?…

ok, i'll give it a go over the next day or two! I'm rubbish on computers so I'll give it a go, I've downloaded photobucket and will take some photos! thanks again:flowerforyou:

Hi Sara, I thought I'd give you a little update - no weigh in yet....but yesterday I received some body fat callipers - are these more reliable to internet calculators? anyway, it has me at 22% body fat! if they are more accurate i'm a very happy woman!!!! I'd still like to drop in body fat but that WAS my goal body fat!…

bumping as would like to hear a reply....I love hot choc and need to up my protein too!

will do Sara....I weight in on Friday so will let you know how it's going at the weekend. Only got max one hour treks in last week as the weather was awful!!! BUT I did a full body weights programme at home yesterday so did 2 x on upper/lower body last week in total. Thanks again :bigsmile:

Thanks! it's been driving me insane as I workout so hard! I think changing to weight training has helped for sure! i'm feeling the difference already in just a month......even if the scales are so slow! woooo hooooooooo

I've just broken my plateau!!!!! this morning weighed in and 144lbs....warghhh!!! haven't been able to get past the 145 for months.... sorry I'm just so pleased!!! had to share with you...!!!!! that's since before Christmas!!

yes the good ol English weather.....had to change my planned walk yesterday to a big swim and a quick hour walk! bloomin rain! and it's been freeeeezing this winter....I in Cornwall which is stunning but rains a hell of a lot!! thanks Sara....I'm give it couple of weeks and tie up with you again. I'm still feeling rough…

grrrooooan, same here....I'll join in too!!! these stubborn last 10 pounds haven't moved since before Christmas! I train hard too and find it soooooo frustrating! I've introduced weight training and HIIT a couple of weeks ago to try and help start shift it again...grrrrrrrr :ohwell:

great thanks Sara....I was worried then, today I have weights, walk and zumba so it'll be a high day and I'll just see how it goes. I'm also still coughing and full of cold though so I'll be playing it by ear. English weather too, beautiful yesterday, not so good today! yeah chuffed about the jeans and put on some cropped…

Thanks Sara I'll try it again on 1700 cals with macros suggested and see if I can do it. I was starving some days!! Is it ok to say on a heavy training day where I can burn 1000 cals to still only eat 1700? I'll do that and I'll get back to you again thanks. I've been ill again this week so no weight training....flu type…
