My first day of weights. I am sure tomorrow I will feel it, but today I feel so energized and excited. I will start with 2 x a week for now so I don't get discouraged. Protien not a problem

Thanks for in web address to check out using weights! I have never done weights and our local community center has an awsome circuit to use. NOW I just have to get my sorry hiney out of the routine it is in and start. I will be checking back with you!

Thanks for starting this message board. I would like to start weights, but am hesitant.... or maybe just lazy. I could really use a buddy to encourage, educate and assist. If you think you can help me get started, I would appreciate it. :smile:

Everyone goes thru time that the scale doesn't budge. That is why it is important to measure yourself. Sometimes with the scale says no loss, the tape…

Sounds like you are preparing to start. Sometimes the process of hating ones self is part of it all. I know how you feel about working out and your body image. We need to quit using our weight and bodies for an excuse not to do something that maybe we didn't want to do anyway. I say.... Start today, take each day at a time…
