That is great!! Keep up the hard yet excellent work...

I agree with you 110%... I have become "addicted" to lifting weights.. and my kids love that I do. I feel like a new me.. one I had lost many many years ago.. :drinker: to the new and permanent us!

I am 5 ft 2 in. and currently weigh in at 135 lbs... I started here weighing in close to 170 lbs.. eek! I would like to go as low as 130 but no more than that.. I still have belly fat to lose but I'm hoping that with strength training I will build enough muscle to keep a weight of 130-133 with minimal tummy fat.. I have…

MIne are starting to bulk.. and I love it! I'm ready to push to the next level!

love this article! Thanks for sharing.. i printed it to share with co-workers who are also working with me to lose fat and be healthy again..

I am from El Paso... but I moved to Colorado... I miss my TX!!

I'm 5 ft 2 in.. (in the morning) and can be a great supporter.. I still have a few lbs to lose and they are the hardest!

Sending one now.. :smile:

I find the last few to be the hardest for me... but I'm not giving up and I WILL win this war... Who's with me?!!

I'm available to help too!!

I'm using 2 at the moment... one has more decent guys than the other... and I do feel having tough skin is a must.. I've had my share of rejection within the last month and it has me weak.. I had one guy take me out about a yr ago and when he saw my profile again recently was turned off by my current photo.. He said he…

For months I worked hard at cardio and saw minimal improvement. As soon as I started lifting weights more often than cardio I saw a significant change in my body. I lost more…

:noway: WTH! Great post went downhill? :frown:

I hope to wear this "tag" soon... :drinker: Great post... double thumbs up!!

When I first started I did things like body weight squats, body weight lunges, tricep dips using a chair, push ups, and leg raises.. They certainly worked for me and inspired me to keep at it while slowly adding weight for resistance...

Give yourself extra pats on the back! You've done an amazing job...

I don't think its bad to use it as motivation... keep it decent and fun and you will be ok.. Try struting your stuff like a peacock for your wife and see if thats gets her attention! :laugh:

:drinker: Hear, hear! :heart:

Born and raised in El Paso.. now living in Colorado.. I do travel to TX a few times a yr..

Oooh thats sounds great!!!

Loving this thread!!

:flowerforyou: Your are phenomenal and a true inspiration to everyone. I'm sure it was hard to share so much of yourself and I thank you sincerely for doing so.

Same as here.. Suavequeen... almost a month user on Fitocracy and almost a yr user on MFP... Loving the new me!! Feel free to add and follow my progress!

Suave is pleasant, sweet in French and my real name is Reyna which is spanish for queen... so i guess im a sweet n pleasant queen!! :flowerforyou:

I do agree.. order does matter... a quick cardio session for warm up, then lift, then cardio to end the session.. I'm still working out the proper order myself.. Keep at it!
