it's better to start posting your photos now, because when you do it in public, you're more likely to follow through.

I think this thread could sell the site to more Women. Thank goodness!

My lower body has been lagging my upper body so I've started on hiking with a weight vest and pistol squats.

I'm only in the first week of this program, but today's workout was:
-10 minute walk with a 50 lb weight vest
-3 sets of 3 pistol squats, both legs

The wheels and caboose have gotten bigger

i won't be starting my workout for another 2-6 months. i got other things to take care of first.

Go over your program because if you are doing some kind of program like P90X stop wasting your time and money. i will explain why later if you want but I can help you out. I've trained people before so if you give me statistics to go off of I can help and set you up your own personal program. And btw, whether you are trying to lose weight or gain weight your body is made in the kitchen, not the gym.

I am the exact opposite. I love trail running and mountainbiking so my legs are pretty nice but I have a hard time to motivate myself to lift weights and stuff to train my upper body. It's just so dull. I had pretty nice 6-pack abs a year ago but I let myself go a little and could definitely lose 5-10 pounds.

I am at 154 lbs now and was at 143 lbs a year ago without doing significant muscle building sport so those 11 pounds are pretty much pure fat.

So only pics from neck to balls right? I need to do this. Need to get back into another shape than round.

Maybe humiliation among my VGCers will be that piece to push me further.

So far I've only started to eat better.
No burgers, fried foods, unhealthy foods, soda, etc.
Gonna buy a home bench set, but until then... lots of walking with family, sex (yes its exercise), and probably start using Wii Fit again. It worked for me a while back. Dropped like 15lbs back then. Of course I've gained it all back....

I'll post a faceless pic later to hold myself accountable. Great idea prof!

I have finally started lifting for the first time... ever. Bench press and something that i don't know the name of (probably some sort of "Fly"), plus leg things. Now that the holidays have passed, i'll likely be eating better

The question is what happens when i start work (damn background checks).

I know... I'll think about it.

I'm doing a mix. Mostly "p90x" with a few "insanity" workouts added into the cycle. Insanity mainly works your legs, so I added those in the days my biceps and shoulders are too sore to do the legs and back workout properly. I also do one instead of kenpo, since this training is so easy that I don't even start to sweat during it. I moved it into the recovery week. Now I'm thinking about adding some p90x2 workouts, mainly the new yoga workout. I think it's shorter. Doing 95 minutes of yoga is so much time... I think the foam roller should also be great, professional athletes use those. The balls can also be a lot of fun and a friend of mine told me that the stability ball training actually works very well for her.

The exercises alone will give you a boost, but starting the diet is the real kicker, at least that's what it was for me. A real change is impossible without it. Supplements are the least important part of the equation, though they will help you increase the muscle mass if you don't get enough protein in your diet.

I think it shouldn't be neck to balls but all the way down. Legs have some huge muscles and their improvement will be easily noticable.

I'm just not so sure about the whole humiliation thing ;)
