Hi hydroflame, that is fantastic. Currently getting into weight training myself. Hope to see your pics with a new slimmer, more muscular you. Happy training

And measure yourself NOW! Don't go by that number on the scale. Go by the changes in your body. MY goal weight is about 165. That's a lot and I am not that tall. But, I know that with my muscle mass I am going to be skinnier at 165 than I was as a teen at 137. So measure yourself--biceps, chest, waist, hips, thigh, neck. Those are the numbers to be looking at! So glad you took the plunge. I really feel you will see a HUGE change in your body, and then the scale number may not even matter so much.

oh you are gonna LOVE THIS! good advice about getting measurements now. exercise will become your new addiction!

[hydroflame]

Measurements!!!!! Yeah I should do that. The scale is driving me bonkers always going up and down. I hate it so much.

Good for you! Stay off that evil scale!!!

Good for you

Another way to keep track of inches lost or rearranging themselves is to find a really tight outfit and photo yourself in it so you have a comparison to check against once it starts to get loose on your body.
