1 year in - Lifting and Eating the Food
Since it's been a year, I thought that I would post my pics cause I consider myself a success story already. Hell, aren't we all just for being on here and trying? My story is, as is a lot of other people's, one that is still ongoing. I have a ways to go, but I love where I am going and the way I am getting there. Mine…

Jerk at Gym
Until today, I have never run into anyone at the gym who hasn't been nice or at least left me to my free weights. Today was different. They're redoing the free weights section of my gym, so all of us lifters had to go up to the machines and use whatever free weights were available up there. Needless to say, not much. Well,…

First Few Weeks
So I've been taking pictures for the first few weeks since I've started doing this, and I am starting to see changes....I feel muscles in my back that I have NEVER felt, even when I worked out before....it feels fun flexing them :) I did reduce weight on my squat, more to make sure I had better form before I increased.…

I have tried many variations on activity and try to always do different things, bike ride, run, zumba, weights,…

Results - When did you first see?

It's not a machine, but it's a more controlled lift if you're just starting. here's what I did. Today's weights (using smith machine): Squat: 50 lbs (not counting bar) Bench Press: 20 lbs (not counting…

Trying this out...Again!
I used to do this a few years ago and it got the point where I was able to squat and benchpress more than most men! So long story short....bad breakup and nearly 30 lbs more later.....I'm a healthier part of my life now and I think I'm going to take this back up. My question is - can you do other work outs the same day…

Running - Kneed problems
Hola!!! So I used to run a few years back before I gained some weight. I had some knee problems back then, but not major, like they would just feel "tight" the day after, no real pain or anything. But since I've taken up running again, I have had this shooting pain in my right knee now where it really stops me from doing…
