Just sayin hi

[Jedwab]

Ok so I've mostly been hanging out in the female side of the forum, but meaning to post in here too. I'm 36 ( 37 in 3 weeks), from the UK, and a fairly recent convert to strength training and loving it. I need to lose another couple of percent body fat to be where I want to be and really just joined this place to see what everyone else is doing... I was at my heaviest of 176lbs Jan this year. Didn't really do much till August when I started training & eating properly. So over 13 weeks or so I lost just over 10% bf and went down 2 dress sizes. Am a complete convert to strength training. Not looking to compete or bulk, just want to blast that bf down to 18% and see how i feel from there. And get stronger so I can do more chin ups ( only on 3 unassisted for now, but did start at zero) and a proper unassisted Nordic curl. Can post a pic as haven't had enough posts, so have attached it. I train 3/4 times a week with weights plus do one circuit class. Doing a Tough Mudder in June so really just want to get leaner and stronger. Im married and have a 10 year old daughter, who is my world. I'm a photographer for a living. I think that's enough info for now!

I look forward to exploring this section of the forum - never enough hours in the day!

Hi from a fellow Brit. Good work on the weight loss and rather you than me on the tough mudder, those events look mental, but good luck all the same!

[Jedwab]

it's ok...I am a bit mental.

Someday I'd love to try out for the tough mudder. Looks like fun!
