Such an inspiration!

Can't believe I'm only the second vote for les miserables! Love love love it... But also Chicago and evita

Between bikini and fitness- bit less body fat than bikini, def a bit more than fitness.

Vodka, water and a splash of lime. Or vodka and diet coke

Worked out yesterday Squat 60kg Bench press 35kg Barbell row 47.5kg I am super excited that I am getting close to body weight for my squats! Added in a few leg presses and then 16 mn of tabata hiit bodyweight stuff. Kind of proud of myself that I actually did burpees slightly randomly in the middle of the gym.

My goals are;- Log consistently and plan my food better so I'm not reaching for the sweet stuff Really restrict my sugar intake again Hopefully these two above might just manage to take five pounds off in August.... Get ohp to a consistent 27.5kg comfortably Don't beat myself up if I only manage two lifting sessions a week…

Today was my second workout at my new gym... I had gotten used to not bothering too much with being the only woman I ever saw lifting at my old gym but was a wee but intimidated tonight to find the whole free weights area packed to the gunnels with bodybuilder types. Esp since I don't really know where everything is yet.…

Yup this is what I try to do! Sadly the 100g of toiler one yesterday didn't make it on before eaten tho.

Hello ladies Can I join in? Been lurking for a bit and on week three Did workout a today Squat 50kg Bench press 27.5kg Row 40kg Was really pleased with my bench press since I feel I'm weaker on this but I actually felt I could have gone heavier!

Yesterday I rocked a pair of short shorts in public! ! I have always hated my chunky orange peel legs but the orange peel is nearly gone and they are definitely less chunky :-) Massive nsv for me!

What sort of time scale did it take to get your results?

Fabulous!! Giving me inspiration to keep up stronglifts!!

You know, the only thing I really agree with is 28. Education should be affordable for all... and yes I'm scottish. Which brings me onto the other thing, the UK is not just England and if there's one thing that gets me riled about other nationalities its referring to us all as English. We're not. Rant over...

Omg!! You look absolutely amazing! You really have inspired me! Thank you x

5ft 5 and a half :-) 155lb Bust 35inches Waist 28 inches Hips 39 inches Edited to add- this seems small but if I added a thigh measurement it def wouldn't seem small!

I'm still here too! Just had ten days off due to a ridiculous work schedule! Have done two stage three workouts, but not going to count them and start the stage again...

Weirdly the only sore part of me is my hamstrings! I've been doing a body weight hiit class anyway so jump lunges were fine, but def felt it in my legs. Hear you with the squats cubs! Down to 4 and 8 kgs...

Hi ladies I started stage three this morning. Really enjoyed it! The dumbbell snatch makes me feel awesome! That overhead squat though is just awkward. Especially with my left arm raised for some reason. Body weight matrix was tough in a good way, left the gym on shaky legs!

Finally finished stage two on Friday after about ten days away from the gym thanks to work :-( No massive gains in terms of increases in weight which frustrated me a bit but the difference in the toning of my thighs is awesome! I have always had horrible cellulite on the front of my thighs just about my knees which really…

Thank you!! Now I need some new goal jeans!, ( bizarrely in a size I never in a million years dreamed I might fit into)

Finally feel like I have got the fspp down! Still a bit sore on the wrists but have sorted my technique right out, and it doesn't feel like the most awkward thing in the world any more! Yay. And another 5kg to add :-)

You look awesome! I'm halfway through stage two of nrolfw right now and your post its great motivation to keep going!

Finally got a2 done today, and managed to add a tiny bit of weight to the fspp! Woo! A total of 20kg! Very much limited by my stupid wrists... Feeling a little held back today by grip strength too. I could increase my weight for step ups and lunges but my hands are only just coping with what I'm lifting just now. Any tips…

Hey ladies, What do you guys think about lifting when ill? I have a stinking cold at the moment, stuffed nose, literally no voice and coughing. I have had such a busy week that I haven't lifted since Saturday and I'm feeling really guilty! I'm due to do workout a- what do you think? Bad ideas? Rest up or hit the gym?

Venom- I always feel so self conscious the first time I'm trying to adjust the equipment to do a new exercise- for example setting up the bench to the right incline! Squishing my boobs against the bench in the Cuban snatch was not comfortable!!

Finally got around to workout b this morning. My time has been very limited this week so only two workouts... Much preferred it to workout a. I did standard but wide grip dead lifts. Super loved the split squats! Going to try with more weight next time as I only did it with 10kg, mostly because my legs are still sore from…

After the prescribed week off, I started stage two tonight. FSSP was officially not fun! Did it with the bar (15kg) only. Does anyone else feel like they are taking all the weight on their arms during the squat phase of the movement? I think this is why my wrists hurt. Sooo frustrating considering I was squatting 65kg at…

So this morning I did my final workout A of stage one. Thought I'd share my results. Squat: starting 30kg (66lb)- final weight 65kg (143lb) Push ups: started on my toes but had to take at least one break to make it through the set- finished getting lower, all on toes, no breaks! Bent over row: starting 10kg (22lb) final…

Gosh! I am pretty close to your weights for workout A (with four workouts to go) but your workout B weights... wowza! especially lunge and deadlift! Thought I was doing well at 45kg deadlift tonight! Well done, such heavy weights!

This is me too! Every other tiny thing i don't like would be fine!!
