Ok so I am an amature at all this and have never really been into working out my legs; I’ve always been more concerned with keeping a thin midsection but I’d like to start building my legs…..As you can see from my pics I have little legs..not a bad thing but I’d like to gain some muscle. Exercise suggestions?

Wow it has been a long week!  I had lots going on and have been slacking! No excuses but man I have been stressed out. My dad was in the hospital, my friend was staying with me for a week from Cali, had a wedding, but now its time to get my focus back. Dad is going home today so that is a little relief. Going to get my  workout in a bit after some errands. 

I have also decided that it is time for me to quit smoking.  Bought some nicotene patches and on day two without a smoke. Right now I’m not worried if I pack on a few pounds just need to get rid of this nasty habit.  So I am motivated and determined and this may be a little set back in my goal but I’ll get where I want to be.

Last week I was disappointed I felt like I worked hard and didn’t see any results.  So this week I pulled out the tape measure and was happy to see that my body is making changes.  Since I started I have lost 2 inches in my waist and 1 1/2 in my hips!!  Those are the areas where I wanted to see changes.  The scale said there was no changes but the measure tape said different.  Glad that I was offered some advice and I didn’t get discourage.  I have 2.7% more bodyfat to lose to meet my goal……..I believe I’ll make it!

I have worked hard this last week and maybe have high expectations since I’ve been eating clean and hitting the workouts hard but I have no changes this week.  Weight and bf are the same!  Any advice to get past the stuck stage?

Ok so I ordered my fat burners and got them today.  Started them and guess I’ll find out how they work!  I’ve made good progress since I started so hope these help.  Look at my pics from June 2 to June 18th!

I’ve been hitting my workouts hard. Went to do cardio yesterday and my legs were burning!  Felt great since legs are my hardest area to build. However, it started raining on me so I didn’t get in the distance that I intended.  Today my butt and calves are sore.  Guess that’s a good sign.  Going to see my dad for Father’s day so I’ll have to watch the foods since my family loves to eat!  Think I’ll get in cardio later and keep it a simple day.

I added progress pics today and glad that I did.  I hve made some progress and really haven’t felt it but the pics show it!  In 18 days now the change looks good.  I am happy! 

I took pics today and wow what a reality check!!  I wasn’t able to post them but it is amazing what partying and eating what every I wanted for about 8 months did to my body!  I will post some new pics and I am sadly disappointed that no one had said anything to me before about putting on weight.  It was my sister that finally made a comment to me about my body that made me want to get back to where I was last year!  I have a long road a head but I’m ready!

Ok so I was talking with my brother and he told me to try Arson as a fat burner he wasn’t sure about women using.  Do any of you women use it?  If so what are the worst side effects?  The people at the store really didn’t know much about it. I also looked at Lipo 6 but wanted to do some research and get some feedback before I start a fat burner.  Are they good? and what are the side effects that you experience with them?? I do a mixture of cardio and weights. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!  Thanks!

Hello All!  it been sometime since I’ve been on but I am back and ready to hit my workouts harder than ever.  As you can see from my post I was at my heaviest a few weeks ago and decided that’s not going to work for me.  I took my bf it was 28% so it was a huge wakre up call for me!  Anyway I am back and hope all is well.  BTW I’m down 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks.  It can only get better from here!
