Jettica Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hello Nerds! So, I'm not new but I've been gone a while so I wanted to introduce myself again. I successfully lost five stone (70lbs) I put three stone back on. (38lbs) I continued working out but my food slipped, I got complacent and before I knew it my clothes didn't fit and my body just felt wrong. This year I started doing aerial silks. My upper body strength has come on in leaps and bounds in that short time but my flexibility is holding me back. I'm also well aware that if I were lighter, I wouldn't need quite so much strength to heft myself in the air. I also miss being able to see my muscles. I still dream of being an assassin, of being in complete control of my body and impressing people at parties with pull ups. That's a long way off so I'm setting smaller goals to nudge me in the right direction. I think more than anything I need support and a group of people to be accountable to. This is me. I'm awesome. I just need to level up to win this game. Other things I enjoy: Climbing trees, Zombies. Run!, lifting heavy things, pole dancing, Stardew Valley, writing, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, cars. I've missed this place. Jx 2 Quote Challenge: Inversion Challenge - Battle log: A journey in photos - Fitness/fashion blog - Add me on MyFitnessPal Link to comment

Guzzi Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hey! Welcome back. 5 stone you say, holy crap that's a lot, and I'm guessing you're a fellow Brit or you would have used pounds or kilos, lol! Where abouts are you from? ps. You're right. Totally awesome!

I started with pole dancing and while there was a lot I could do, I didn't feel like I was making much progress. I switched to silks and my strength has grown so much quicker. It also hurts less than pole! Quote Challenge: Inversion Challenge - Battle log: A journey in photos - Fitness/fashion blog - Add me on MyFitnessPal Link to comment
