babycakes1970 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I have not been participating on the forums at all for a bit as I have been busy losing weight and working out! To date I have lost a grand total of sixty-three pounds over the last two years. That means I am down from a size 22W to a size 14 in clothing and have gone from a size 11W to 9.5W in shoes. I have been using My Fitness Pal to keep track of my calories and workouts.I bought the New Rules of Lifting for Women book and am going to strength train again using that program and eating plan starting next Tuesday evening. My hubby is going to try to go with me on Tuesdays, Thursdays and alternate Saturdays and Sundays. I guess I just got tired of using the machines at the Y and doing the body weight routine at home was hard because of all the distractions. I actually was going to do the program at home when my son had his olymic weight bench and three hundred and some odd pounds of weights here but he took them to his new place when they moved out.

babycakes1970 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thank you both! Hubby is disabled with degenerative disk disease so he is just going to do some rudimentary strength training to try to regain some of the strength that he has lost. At least he can spot me and I won't be so terrified of the "mens side" of the gym with him around. I was going to do it anyway by myself but this makes it a bit easier.

Cutebug Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Awesome! Congrats! It's so nice for me to hear about women losing lots of squishy - I'm 18/19 pounds into my goal of losing a total of 65 pounds. The other day I was hefting around a 55 pound bag of sand and I thought "OMG this is basically what I still have to lose!" Love success stories - totally helps Hobbit Ranger, Dragon Slayer, Crazy Cat Lady, Beekeeper Sixth Ranger Challenge Link to comment
