I started not being able to do a single (no weight) squat. I had to work my way up. When I finally was able to do 20 non-stop that is when I started adding small weights like holding 10 pound dumbells. My progress has been slow but it has been so worth it. I would go ahead and start on SL. You are not going to add 5 pounds…

Spring break here - told the kids that mom is NOT missing her workout even if they are off. :grumble: So they got dragged to gym with me. There is a sitting area and they brought games so it was good. So scared if i miss a workout that it makes it easier to make future excuses, Squats 5x50. Felt good. Ready to try 55 next…

Got to lovethose Nsv. Keep up the great work. And congrats on getting your bf to try. Im still working on dh

I agree -lose the weight first. If you add muscle to existing weight, you just look bigger.

I just started yoga on my rest days. I found that it really helps the tightness. I only do beginners yoga. If your having doms, then keep moving it actual helps it.

I'm jealous. Congrats on your find and enjoy getting stronger.

Congrats on your success so far. I started a couple of days after you. I committed not to compare results until end of march. But i am feeling so many positive changes. I'm hoping to see results like yours. Keep up the great work!

Welcome to the group. I am fairly new also. I just completed my 4th week of SL. And I feel amazing so far. Three months ago, I could barely do 1 squat with no weight. Our calories and protein levels are the same. I also have 3 munchkins but 1 is a girl. Up until this year, I home schooled them also. It is a great thing…

Funny- I'm usually extra hungry the day after a workout. I had an awesome day. Squats - 5x50 I completed them all!!! I have been so scared to try 50 but just worked up the guts. I was a little slow in the last set so I will repeat once before increase. Today, an exercise class of women came in to use barbie weights. When…

I feel that I got a good workout today. Squats 5x45 (was able to power up instead of going slow :happy: Overhead press 5x50. It was a bit of a struggle but got thru it (not sure if I should repeat of go up inweight) Deadlift 1x70. Yay new high Hanging leg lift - 20 squat and 8 pike Finished up with about 5 minutes of hiit…

I'm done with winter too. Saturday was in the 80s and sunday went to 20s with snow. 80 is not a typo - we were wearing shorts. :noway: Cold weather makes me want to curl under blanket and munch.

Here's my workout today. Squats 5x40 - i decided to go down for the smoother motion and to double check form. Will try 45 again next time bench 4x75 and 1x70. Went down on last set cuz arms were shaking Row 5x60 Leg press 5x155 - hoping it will help improve my squats. then ended doing some hiit. Maybe 15 min worth. Dont…

I'm going to end my stalking and join in with you ladies. I have to admit that I am seriously impressed by your numbers but a little confused by mine. I just finished my full 3rd week SL 5x5. I was sort of doing it before loosely because couldn't do a single squat and had a bad knee so I felt like I had to work on my…

I'm 5.10 also but a lot older. I am currently shooting for 150. In high school, I did gymnastics and was very fit. Back then I weighed 140. You could probably do it but it is a huge goal. I think that you should set a smaller goal first. When you get there, set a new goal.

When alli first came out, i used it. It was great. Had tiny side effect but helped a lot. Weight crept back up, because i didn't change my lifestyle. So that was downside of alli. I tried alli again last year. This time i saw no results and no side effects. I put it to a full test. Ate 2 pieces of pizza which should keep…

You found me. I am in your area but belong to a different gym. Sent you a pm.
