I have been trying to lose weight in unhealthy ways for a long time(Thanks to bbfit1 setting things straight I am no longer on the atkins diet:big_smile: lol) I am now eating healthy and working out. One of the most valuable things I learned here is that you have to think enough of yourself to get out of those bad habits and make improvements. There are no shortcuts to losing weight and feeling better. It takes a lifestyle change and commitment and I know I am worth it. I don't know how many times I have read "you can't spot reduce" so I finally let that sink in. lol In just 3 weeks I am losing inches all over, I am more toned and I feel soooooooo much better physically and mentally. Again...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!! Dawn (Vanessa)

Be aware, this thing is not a linear proposition as I mentioned many times, you will go in spurts with your toning. May go 2-3 weeks or so seeing no change, but it is happening and your body is reacting. That 4th week you may see a nice change. Stay with it, if you do it correctly the body has to respond positively. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!

KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/10/07, 09:23 AM Hey dawn....I got mine at a a sporting good store...they were very cheap...like 20 bucks I think....they are kinda crappy but they the job done for now...and $20 isn't to much to lose for when I get the good ones.The bar is only five pounds...and the weights max out at 50 lbs...I went to get the good stuff...and tried to pick up a standard barbell...the weighs 45 lbs on it's own...and couldn't!!So I went with the cheaper version for now. And yes...I saw that Mutt told you to beat me...he's been scorned!!!
