Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! I certainly feel great, and this is just the beginning.

As my PT would say: get right back in there and work them again! They will loosen up.

From a fellow lifter who is still on her journey - welcome back and good luck with your new journey. You sound like you have the right attitude and will be successful once again I am sure.

Look at me. My PT did that. Well worth it. :love: Oh, and he is a HOT fitness model too. With regards cost, yes it can work out expensive, but I figured that my life was worth it - In January I was contemplating using crutches or motorised wheelchairs to get about due to me needing a knee replacement. I am a new woman and…

I love what lifting has done for me - I love how it makes me feel - I love how I am beginning to look toned and firm. Last week, several ladies at work, at different times, mentioned how toned my rear end is looking, unusual NSV but still a good one all the same! In the weight area I know the men are checking out my…

I love this site! You guys are so straight talking. Loveit. Thanks for responding, Shane yes it's not a diet, can't believe I said that - my bad - bubblicious I am still reading lol, and Jester thanks for your nice words, I know I am being unrealistic now, it's just that I had my goal set in January and want to make it by…

I go to the gym anyway, and once I start I can't stop.

I can really see a difference, and you are beautiful now, so will be absolutely stunning when you are done! Keep up the good work and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Climb back onto the wagon and DRIVE it! In the big scheme of things it's only 2 days.

I am now beginning to notice - and like - what I see in the mirror. Yesterday 5 different people at different times mentioned that my rear view looked great. I liked that.

Not at all! Lunges, squats, leg press, side lunges - all excrutiating at first but as I have been training more or less every day I grew stronger and now I can do walking lunges, one legged squats and of course now step ups onto a bench! It's very painful at first and the quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and knees…

Don't weigh yourself every day. Give your body a chance. If you give up now you will have to start again and again, keep at it and you will make your goal sooner. Don't weigh yourself every day (!) Good luck.

Thanks hun, I thought so too!

I go to the gym EVERY night at 8pm since January 2012. It's in my blood now. I haven't missed it except through illness and can't imagine not having that routine in fact I get slightly excited when the time comes round, and really stressed if I can't go. The gym staff call me MACHINE because I just don't quit.

Any more??

Thanks guys (and gals), it's nice to know you are out there!

I am 50 and lost all my weight since 3rd Jan 2012........

Thanks Mikee - I know you are there for me, and really appreciate your input and experience. I need more like you! I am happy to have friends on here who are Ladies-wot-lift but thought it would be nice to have more men's perspective on my activities. (Thanks for the nice comments by the way - I am really beginning to like…

I am no expert, I just speak from my experience - I need a knee replacement and have arthritis in it too - I deadlift 70lb x 6-8reps a couple of times a week and do circuits of weights with hardly any cardio the rest of the week (6 days). It's hard but effective. I think my weightloss speaks for itself.

I have been lifting from the start. No cardio to speak of!

I'll kick you if that's what you need! Read my profile and send a friend request to me if you like.

I would, but can never get the pics to work. You will have to look at my profile. You look stunning by the way!

Thanks, I am so pleased. It was a mini target of mine.

About 3/4 of that applies to me already too, and the first thing I would have said was the airplane seat too! - you have done an amazing job and deserve every one of the 135 NSVs! Well done.

I did for a while for the first 8 weeks or so of using it, my back is stronger now so its not a problem. check your form and persevere, it should get better if your form is right.

I have the same problem. Try a firming cream at night, it has helped me. Thanks girls !

Thanks everyone, you are too kind with your lovely comments. I shall try to be patient I think haha. My latest target is to lose a total of 112lb by November, so it will get worse before it gets better lol. David nice to know some people come to King's Lynn lol! It's not a bad place really. Hope you liked it.

Hmmm, thought that would be the answer lol. Thanks so much for your input everyone.

Someone must have this "problem"!
