Shoshie Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 This morning I got up to 125 lbs for 5 reps. That's over half my body weight (228 lbs)!

wildross Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Congrats! Keep lifting and adding the little round things with the holes in the middle (no, put the doughnut down!!)

The Tin Man Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah! Keep the (deadlift) weight going up and the (scale) weight going down!Assuming scale weight going down is something you want. The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment
Shoshie Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hah, I'm actually totally a Health at Every Size junkie, so I'm less interested in weight loss as its own goal. Though my weight has been dropping since I switched up my diet, due to medical stuff, to have fewer starches and sugars. So I'm way more excited about lifting > 100 lbs! Though it is rather convenient that BW goals are becoming easier...
