I'm happy to report that all pain is gone and I'm back to doing workouts at full weight!!!

Congratulations on your progress so far! Your story is very inspiring. Sorry for the newbie question, but when you say 20 lb dumbells, is that 20 lbs combined, or in each hand? I'm not at all...

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to this thread sooner! I know soreness is a good thing, but the problem was when I was no longer sore, but having pain in my hip joints. I can't post links yet,...

I was hoping to update after each workout, or at least once a week; but I wasn't able to get on here for awhile. On a good note, after 2 weeks and 2 days, but I mastered a complete chin-up! On a low...

I haven't used dumbbells for anything except flys.. (which I don't do regularly) Also, I workout at home and we don't have a leg press/sled machine.

Thanks for the link, Reality_Check! That was...

Thanks for the links. The Simply Shredded program looks great. Not crazy about going from training 3 days a week to 4, but I'll look into it a bit more.

Ok, I'm feeling a bit better now! :) I don't have a program, which is why I'm posting so many newbie questions. I'm trying to read the stickies and stuff, but half the time I don't understand...

Thanks, supersaiyan! Good article.





That's good to know. The thing that I find strange is that I don't feel like I worked my quads at ALL. They're not sore in the least, and that's after...

I realize there isn't any right or wrong, I'm just wanting to know "where I stand" so to speak. I appreciate you posting your stats. Do you remember what your stats were when you first started and...

Cool bag..

Would you mind sharing how much weight did you start out lifting? I've just started lifting 2 weeks ago, and I'm quite embarrased to post my stats. Also, I don't really know if what I'm lifting is...

Is there such a thing as squatting to low? I've been working out for two weeks now and doing squats usually makes my thighs burn. I watched a video of squats and found that I probably wasn't...

I can not believe how sore I was after the first week! My body finally felt normal again today after 2 days rest, but today it was time to do it all over again! Added a little weight to my squat, but...

After not having touched weights for a few years now, I picked up the weights again on Tuesday, August 30th, 2011. I've avoided starting this journal for a week, for fear that I wouldn't stick to it...

Pics of the bags?

Love your pics, Beth. My name is Beth also, (Bethany) and your before pics look similar to what I look like now, so I'm encouraged to see what I can acomplish!

Sorry double post.

I don't have a smart phone. My cell does't even take pics. ;)

Yes, the only thing that really keeps me motivated is having something to work towards. I'm not interested in competing, but have set my sights on making noticeable change in my body by March 2012.

Where is that? I looked, but couldn't find it..
