Since Im doing lacrosse its SOOOO HARDDD to get workouts in. I can maybe get 2-3 in a week. So with me always running Ive lost about 10 pounds. Since my weight flunctuates it is flunctuating from 175-177 vs 185-188 before the season. So I am pretty happy. I am looking thinner throughout the face and chest. But once lax is done Im going to have to find a real nice cardio workout because im thinking its going to be hard to push yourself without that whistle in your ear, ya know?

See I give those people alot of credit for putting an effort to change their bodies, same goes with fat people. On the other hand, if some guy thinks he's Mr. Badass just because he could bench with one 45 on each side...then that's a whole different story

Oh, I totally agree with you... I just felt like an ass because I sat down on the next bench over and was doing the same exercise with 40 lbs h:


My favorite are the guys who stand at the mirror, and do curls by throwing their whole body into it. If you have to swing your whole body to lift a weight, I think you may have picked up something beyond your ability...

My sets don't start off like that, but by time I hit 8 or 9 reps, I do a little swinging :happysad:

I hate people that critique other people at the gym. Everybody is paying the same amount. Turdbags.

Good job Mandi, keep up the good work.

The last thing that you will see a difference in is abs.... and diet is the major contributing factor to that....

i know...:happysad: I've been trying so hard to change my eating habits. For 6 years i weighed the same thing nad never had to worry about fat content or calories because i have such a high metobolism...but now thats slowing down and i'm trying to keep it in line before it gets out of hand. I don't have much to work on, but its certainly a lot for someone whos never worked out in their life. h:

I'm pretty conscious about what i eat now and am very slowly gaining self control. I'll get there. h:
