Thank you! :-)

I eat six times a day, always a protein with a carb, aim for 100g protein a day. A low sugar protein shake after my workout on lift days, as well. I cheat occasionally, and I drink about a gallon of water a day. Cals are somewhere around 1600-2000 typically. I do very little cardio, at this point, maybe 20-30 minutes a day.

I lucked out and my trainer is $10 per session if I pay up front for the month for all my sessions. He has a full gym in his garage, plus an outdoor setup with a sandpit, tractor tires, etc. in his back yard.

I have implants and the bathing suit is push up, but I have noticed a difference in the firmness and "perkiness" of my chest with the lifting.

Congrats!

I gave up on normal...at least the standard for it, anyway. I'm just going to do my best and see where I end up. I have plans to be on the stage in November, stretch marks, scars, and all! Conquering the mental beast is nearly as hard as the physical, and I'm proud to be getting my confidence back. :-)

Thanks y'all!

Yes, I'm lifting heavy! I have a lot of stretch marks and a little loose skin, but it's way better than being fat still. I don't notice much in the way of my c-section scar. There's a small pooch, but nothing anyone ever notices or says anything about. I'll never be perfect, but hey, I feel great! :)

Bump...anyone else?

I feel like it might be a lot of pressure, but it would also be very rewarding either way. It might not help my confidence if I don't place, but I suppose I'll have to decide if I can handle that risk.

Thanks so much, ladies. I just want to be realistic with myself. Your kind words are very much appreciated!

No, but a walk in the park, sure.

How do you know when you qualify as "hot"? LOL
