January '18 Weigh-In
 

Welcome to 2018!! :)

Goal- I'm not sure. I literally have doubled the amount of weight I have been able to lift, from 20 lb free weight to 40 lb free weights. I have totally changed how I train. I have also gained ten pounds from this time last year, which I'm not thrilled about. I work out daily, weights and cardio, watch everything I eat, so I don't even know where to go from here. I did stop as much steady state cardio so will be adding that back and have for the second part of December. I had listened to the advice that steady state cardio is a waste and just weight train, but that hasn't been working out. Some of this is muscle, but it can't all be. I would like to be under 120 lbs again, but I don't know if that's possible if I continue to lift as heavy has I have been. We'll see! :)

HI

Goals: 119 lbs, 22% body fat, currently doing a whole 30 with tone it up workouts

so I cant weigh-in but I will stay around for company.

Good luck with the whole 30! My diet is pretty close to that. I have some good protein pancake recipe if you are interested :)

Thanks. We cant re-create baked goods but feel free to share for after.

They are egg whites and protein powder. I'll catch you when you are done. Yes, just saw the rule on their website.

I would like to join you on the 119 goal but I don't know if it can happen with the way I have been training.

Hello there and happy 2018!!!

I'll take it. Gaining a pound a month has really been bothering me. I can't mentally handle bulking for bodybuilding. Hoping to cut a pound a month and then maintain.

End result- 2.2 lbs down from my scale in NY, goal for next month, see 125.something consistently (ended on Wednesday)
