Great job! You look great!

I take this for sleep- it's a bi polar med. Works great for me!

Well done mama! :wink:

You go girl!!

Great job! Awesome results.

:drinker: We gotta start somewhere....

Thanks for the responses. I posted because I'm still amazed myself. I can't believe I wasted YEARS doing only cardio when I could have seen better results strength training. I seriously plan to keep upping the weights to see what else this body of mine can take.

I know! I actually work out less now. Thanks!!

How many step ups do you do per leg. I'm a novice and started using my dining room chair with 5lb weights. I'm at 15 lbs weights and feel like with each increase in weight, I should be doing more than 10 steps on each leg.

4:30am here (I factor in my long commute) and you're positively right! Knocking it out in the morning and I'm energized all day. Like you when I used to work out after work, I'd think about it all day- plus because of endorphines, I'm energized when it's time for bed and with my insomnia, that was bad.

This is the most moving story I've read since joining this site. Congratulations and I wish you all the best!

Beautiful! Congratulations, you look amazing!:smile:

My # 1 pet peeve. As a matter of fact, it's on my profile, don't bother friend requesting me if all of a sudden you have unasked for opinions on other people's bodies or say the word "fat" or "obese" with disdain.

I don't like little children, especially from the ages 3-16.

How eager were you to come back to the board to tell us about those " several mothers with new babies who were very overweight. I'm not talking 40lbs, but in the realm of 80lbs and higher" under the guise of "giving advice" You know what? N'er mind. **Ignored** *eyeroll* I swear, ppl sometimes.

Repping DC here! We count right? Okay, Montgomery county but still...

I just bought the bronze one as well. I can't wait to do some video exercises at home and get an accurate read on my calorie burns.

@ melcookson 10!

Yup! And to think I considered this a "snack" between meals!

Yup- I saw that too- I'm a newbie too and I've actually had to use the 'ignore' a feature on those people who think their sarcastic comments are "funny". They seem very full of themselves.

Wine- Moscato to be precise. It's only 127 calories per 5oz so I manage to fit it in there from extra calories I gain from walking.

Finally! A lot of other threads keep new people like me lurking behind the scenes, I'm so glad that you made this thread. Thanks!

I have major problems going to bed at night and one of the remedies is a big meal. After I eat my 500 calories at night, I'm knocked out. Works pretty well for me!
