I'm a simple girl on this one. I use the machines mostly. I try to hit at least 1-2 machines for each muscle group (biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, back, abs, glutes, and legs). I do quite a bit more ab work most days (even on cardio days). I don't lift too heavy. Biceps 20-25lbs, triceps 20lbs, shoulders 20-45lbs,…

I usually workout 5 (maybe 6 days) a week. Cardio every day (30-60 min), strength training 2x/wk. My net calories usually run about 800/day. I vary my cardio almost everyday (swimming, treadmill, eliptical, stairmaster). I try to keep my body guessing what is next.

Y'all are making me smile :happy: This has been quite a journey. Still have 28 more pounds to my goal of 135. However, I am happy that I am making progress. And, yes, I think I look good right now (with clothes on....working on the with clothes off part). As for how I am doing it, total dedication and knowing that this…

dangit the pics didn't show up

I'm in! I love it when my oldest son (23y/o) gets grosed out because one of his friends makes a comment about me. He tells me that 2 of his male friends "think" they know me intimately....lol...I love it!

Awesome! Not a bad time either....

I was born in Louisville (lived in Jeffersonville till I was 10). Then I moved all over...I come back every now and then.

I am not going to give up on believing that all things are possible :smile:

I like to throw frozen strawberries in the blender w/lowfat milk and chocolate protein powder. YUMMY

Girl!!!! Put on your big girl panties (ok, sexy undies) and get back on it! I did, don't let a little set back slow you down to your goal. I know you will finish strong :)

Insanity? I got it! I get up about 3pm everyday so I can go to the gym & workout, get ready for work, grab a quick bite (healthy of course), then head to work (on the unit by 6:45pm ready to work), then about 7:15am (if I am lucky) I head home, and crash around 8am (hopefully!!!). So, my 3pm-8am day is way too long...and I…

Great job with your progress!

I use BSN: Lean Dessert Protein Shake Here is the dietary information on it . I get it off of bodybuilding.com. It is the lowest in fat and calories that I have found. And, it tastes pretty good. There are several flavors to choose from. I have only tried the Chocolate. 1.39 Lbs. Chocolate Fudge Pudding Supplement Facts…

Ok Girlie! You and I started at about the same weight. I see in your stomach same features that I see in mine. I know what you don't like. You have a huge advantage over me.....AGE! You are 16 and I am 40. You skin is still elastic. Trust me the more you lose the tighter and firmer it is going to get. I have lost 25lbs…

SW: 168.4 (5/1/11) CW: 165.0 (5/15/11) I am not seeing the results I intended to see at this point. However, my marital problems have gone way beyond any point that I ever had nightmares about. I am seeking courage to continue to do what is best for my mind, body, and soul. That includes God, exercise, and eating right. It…

Diet Coke is my problem. Not sure I am ready to give it up yet....

I LOVE SWIMMING as well. I am not the greatest at swimming without taking a break every so many laps. However, it is a wonderful exercise and burns lots of calories. Luckily, my gym is open 24/7 and has indoor and outdoor pools.
