Progress So Far
I can see a lot of progress I've made over the past few months. I have increased every single lift now by at least 10 lbs, and some (Curls) by 20 lbs (8x4 or 10x3 lifts). I see the most changes so far in my stomach and my arms/shoulders. Looking forward to what the next few months can bring me!!! :-)

Gotta love the sore muscles and the scale!
The one thing I always hate about getting back to lifting is the soreness and the water weight gain. To any folks out there who have never been on a lifting plan, expect weight gain temporarily. Sore muscles will surround themselves in water in order to help them to heal. So don't be suprised if you bump up 2% - 4% in…

Calories??
Folks, I have a question about the Net Calories consumed portion of MFP. My goal since starting has been to try and stay under 1500 calories net. I've seen a whole LOT of different BMR caculators, etc with a huge range of results and I've dropped 13 lbs in the past 16 days. I know this rate won't stay for me, but I am…
