Congrats!

Looking good!

About 3k? Let's just say a lot. :)

Ha! I love it!

Great work!

Wowza! I love it. Nice haircut too.

Wonderful! Everyone else looks smaller too. Nice job, Mom. :)

Wow! Love the Ironman. Fun!

Great job!

You did that! So proud. :)

Nice job!

This^^^ So happy for you! It was about this time last year for me and I was soooo happy!

You sure did make it! Can't wait to join you. :)

Amazing job!

Woot! You're cooking all right! Nice job. :)

Wonderful job! Congrats to you. :)

Nice! I'm sure the 20-somethings were checking that out. LOL

Wow! WTG You look great!

Hey everyone... Just checking in after the first day back teaching after Spring Break. I can hardly keep my eyes open. LOL I chose today to do an early workout but it had to be done. I did: squats 5x5 175 lb (these felt heavy and slow! I have to get used to the mornings again and see how it feels next time) bench 5x5 110…

I love it! Not only are you not written in stone, you smashed the stone and are building something new. Great post, great spirit.

Wow, everybody is rocking in here! I usually look for a loss on my second rest day because I im swole (as my son would say) from lifting most of the other days. It's that TOM currently though so I'm not putting too much stock in the numbers except to think wow...that's not good. LOL Next week will be better, Lord willing.…

A JACK! You ladies are geniuses! Thanks!

Decent workout. Hubby's back is still hurting so did it alone in power rack. Squat 5x5 165 Bench 5x5 105 Rows 95/ 115/ 3x 135

Thanks for that. Part of it is that I'm still a big girl and I find that I need to eat more to make the lifts as the weight goes up (still at a deficit but not like before). Also I'm hungrier sometimes. I have some 2.5 fractionals but I do think I need to look into smaller ones. So much of this is mental for me, I know...

Yeah you! You did it! :)

What jstout said-leg drive. I was dreading bench for a while but I think I finally am understanding the leg drive thing. Your arms are lifting the bar over your head ( vertically) but your legs are pushing you up the bench horizontally. Moving my hands in some helped too. This video really helped me.…

Hey everybody! (So this is where everybody is... DUH. End of week 8 today after a field trip that through things off (4:30 am departure and 11:00 PM return). It took me a few days to catch up my sleep and then my husband hurt his back. So Saturday I had to force my 16 yr old offensive lineman to come spot his mom. He…

Okay, I was just wondering... I may just stick with it. We'll see. The thought of going up 5 pounds a workout for months and months is a little daunting though. I'll just concentrate on getting through the 12 weeks healthy and take it from there.

We did the first four weeks or so at the gym, but there's only one squat rack so my husband bought a power cage off of Craig's List. One day we were at the gym and a new guy was on the squat rack doing SL (or something, he was adding in all kinds of stuff) and when he got off, we dashed over only to be cut off by a buff…

I'll say. I can barely walk! I had to take a rest day. Tomorrow though.
