Being an mother myself, I do understand her concern for your health. However that old "wives tale" is another "Women Shouldn't Lift Because Myth" that, along with the others, really needs to be put...

My.... it has been several years since I last posted in this thread. ;)

Revelyn,

What you have "hit" is a plateau. You might want to look over your lifting regime and make a few changes in...

I have had both C section styles, "classic vertical" (1982) and the "bikini horizontal" (1986).

If I had my druthers, when I started lifting in 2001 (at 50)...my first would have been "bikini"...

Use your clothes as a better indicator of your progress.
Not the scale.

Because I was sick and tired....of being sick and tired from being obese for so long.
Because I didn't want to turn into one of the many "snowbirds" who flocked down into my area during the Winter. ...

If you have more than one child...figure the one after the oldest. If you have three....it's the youngest.

Especially after the age of understanding social dynamics........;)

Yeah, isn't that true? Wish we knew then what we know now. And had the money to get what we wanted....that's for sure.

JAWS22, thank you for the sword compliments. My husband has been doing this for over 50 years now starting back in the mid 50s. I met him several years later at a Society for Creative Anachronism...

HealthierJ...I just remembered this family run jewelry supply company too. If you don't want to buy a huge coil from Leahy, you can get 12"x12" sheets (or 12"x36") from here. Best to call for price...

For easing stress? MMmmmm. Read and/or listen to music. Do historical research and design/execute artwork to decorate the historical edged weaponry (i.e. swords, daggers, spears) my husband makes...

Gee, it's been a very long time since I last posted in these forums. Nice to see a thread like this.

My husband introduced me to shooting handguns and long guns before we got married 38 years...

I have had both styles. Both done back in the early 80s. The older traditional Vertical caused the nerves on one side to be quite numb. I could pinch the heck out that side close to the cut and...

Nope. It's fine. A squat is a squat is a squat..as long as you kept good form. AND considering you were able do it with more than your own body weight.

I had a problem trying to do below...

Here is a routine from my college Women's Strength Class used with machines and freeweights when I first started in 2002. The class was held at a local high school girls gym. The routine was one...

After three years of consistant workouts to drop 85lbs, improve my health and build muscle strength, I finally had to drop the routines because of family and business concerns. Since then, I had...

Used a Bowflex at a gym a few times. Just did not like the feel compared to freeweights either. Got more out of using the freeweights than bowflex.

Time....mostly. Your skin had to expand quite abit to accomodate your baby's growth. It will take time for it go back.

Have Patience. As for your abs, the same thing. Keep up the exercise to...

MMmmmm....I went through menopause in 1993-4 at age 43. There are alot of indicators but each woman's experience is different as not all go through the "traditional" ones. (i.e. "hot...

You did not hear about open sex in the mid 60s in high school. I remember watching those old 50s "instructional" films on what and how a proper girl was suppose to conduct herself. As for "coming...
