You look amazing! Congrats!

Do you feel hungry before your workout? Or feel like you can finish your workout? If you are not hungry, you don't have to eat first thing in the a.m. If you feel like you need something so you can finish workout, you can always eat a little more the night before. If it's just you are busy in the a.m. and don't have time,…

Starting Strength, New Rules and Strong Lifts 5x5 are all great programs! When I started I read a lot of books, articles on internet, watched a lot of you tube videos about form. Start with no weights or light weights until you get form correct and move up. If taking a class or working with a personal trainer is an option,…

You can always ask the guys/girls to work in while they are resting between sets.

Awesome progress! Way to go!

This. And to add couple more programs: Starting Strength, New Rules of Lifting are all great!

Drink lots of water and move- stretch, walk, foam roll. As you keep going, your muscles will get used to is and not get so sore.

I'll do the same.

Congrats! You look great!

WOW! Congrats! You look amazing! It was so inspiring to read your story!

I always go with weight. But if you can't, go with 1 cup.

AWesome job!

If you never lifted before start with dumbbells. Get form down and increase weight every time you lift. Just go in there and do your thing. No one will look at you , and if they do, so what... you are there for you and not for them.

I also think it's just water weight.

I used to go to PF for same reasons as you. The one I was going to had DBs going to 80 lbs. , no squat racks, fixed weight bars going up to 60 lbs. Lots of machines. The plus things for me-no contract and $10/mo. If you are used to heavy lifts, you may not be bale to get what you are looking for there.

You look great!

Congrats on the awesome results! Love the mug idea!

You can do squats, push ups, leg lifts, lunges and more while you cook. It doesn't all have to be one big chunk of time, spread it out.

Great way to be active at work! You're doing great! My husband has PF-when he rests it's ok, if he works out, walks, it gets worse. Does the bike help with foot and ankle?

What do you do for workouts right now?

... and every day from now on!!! :)

I just started back again. Always nice to have more kick in the bum!!

You are on the right track. You can do this!

Awesome! :)

Welcome!

.. "Also, do you have a recommendation of foot placement (how far apart or close together, toes pointed out or parallel)? I have heard many different things...[/quote] When you start coming up, try to push your knees out. Toe position is going to be different for everyone. Do whatever feels comfortable. For me it's…

Get some chalk for home.

^^^ That!

Hi, I did the NROLFW and loved it! I liked the workouts-everything is laid out, simple to follow, 6 mo. of programming, thought me the basics and then some- I didn't know how to do any of the basic lifts or lifted anything more than 10 # before NROLFW. I learned how to squat, deadlift, do a chin up, bench and so much more!…
