Excellent post Lori!! I think so many people who have a lot of weight to lose focus on cardiocardiocardio because it’s what’s burning the calories. But weight lifting is such a HUGE part of the equation!! And like I always ramble on about, it’s a major confidence booster. Or in your case, a ‘superpower’ Not to mention, doing chinups is badass. Plain and simple.

I love the weights & weight lifting as you know!!! I figure I deserve to be in that weight room just as much as the guys & quite honestly, my form is a lot better than theirs! When I was lifting to get big, they left me alone big time! Now, they see how serious I am & that I have muscles so they leave me alone!

Yahoo for being strong!

Lori, do you know how much I love that last statement “…but underneath that is something special. It’s kind of my secret.” I LOVE IT. On my best days that is exactly how I feel. And it is so fun to see someone who hasn’t seen me for a while and they go ‘WOW!’ And I know its not because I’ve lost any more weight. Its because of ‘my secret.’

And I do love working out with Vicky, but I like doing my own thing too.

Wonderful information Lori! Thank you so much for sharing your methods and thoughts. I think it's especially interesting about the initial weight gain when beginning to lift seriously! .-= Diane Fit to the Finish´s last blog ..What About Fat Acceptance? =-.

Nifty post! I wish I had the gumption that you do to workout on my own, but I need that push. You have really blazed a trail for yourself and it’s great to see where you started and how far you’ve come, strong lady!

Great post Lori! Everything you said I feel the same way. I'm glad I got over my far of the "guy's area" too because now I feel right at home with the rest of the muscle guys lol. In 2 yrs I've barely spoke to any of them either so they definitely give the women their space. .-= Dawn´s last blog ..Moody blues =-.

AWESOME post. Thanks.

Did you like the 28 Day Shapeover book or NROL4W more? I’m gearing up mentally to start NROL4W on Monday. Still scared of the weight room for some reason but I’ll never get over it unless I get in there and start lifting. I would LOVE to have some cut arms.

Thanks for sharing.
