I just wanted to say "thanks" for all the wisdom and encouragement about lifting. Some years ago I read _Strong Women Stay Young_ and started lifting, but I didn't stick with it. I've started lifting twice a week (after reading a bunch on here, too) and it feels GREAT! I can feel that I am stronger, I move differently, I just feel good! Maybe that's partly woe and aerobics, but I'm sure the weights play a part, and you chickies helped me get motivated
