Well done lady you look fab!! Did you start off on a certain weight and then gradually build up??
Do you mean the weights in the gym? Yes I make sure to add weight each time, right now I'm squatting about 120lbs, deadlifting 165lbs and benching about 75lbs, and I add a good 1-5lbs to each working set each week.
I'm doing a program called Westside for Skinny *******s
Aliss, you look fab!
I have to say I really do admire and look up to you and feel quite good with the weights I'm deadlift and squatting at the moment (60kg for both which in your lingo is around 133lbs - I actually did one deadlift at 80kg but this was quite tough and I would have definately worked by body to failure) Haven't done any benching yet as I don't often get time to even consider getting over to my friend in Epsom to use the gym and don't have a bench at my house
You're definately inspiration to alot of people and it's great to have you around to show others that they don't need to starve themselves or spend hours slogging away on a treadmill
Thanks! I have an allergy to the treadmill, seriously 20 minutes and I am itching to get off I do cardio 2x a week max and boy do I luuuurve my food (I'm at around 1900 calories now!)
133lbs! Damn girl that is impressive!!!! It took us 7 years to build our home gym so eventually you get all the pieces and parts
I do use kg's and lbs, both, LOL, my plates are in KGs and the DBs are in lbs so I tend to use lbs as most strength standard charts do too!
Good job!
Huge well done aliss!
I'm using 4.5kg weights, that still like beginner?
Thanks ladies! And you all are doing fantastic too!

Yes But there is NOTHING wrong with that, as long as you toss them and go heavier when you're ready for it!
I used to:
Run 1 mile in 20 minutes (and that's when the gym teacher just gave up timing it)
Struggle to doing a dumbbell press with 5lbs
Get winded walking up stairs
Be 150lbs (BEFORE pregnant hah. I think I turned 21 and went "whoah!")
So now deadlifting 75kg/165lbs is very easy! 7 years, but still. It's all about progression and pushing yourself
You seen these shaker weights, whats your thoughts on them? I personally burst out laughing

Shaker weight! Looks like a giant battery operated boyfriend except without the fringe benefits! You'd be just as well off buying a giant dildo!
It sounds like they are too light for you, can you get a new heavier pair? Maybe used? I bought a Bowflex Select tech set which I admit is very expensive but worth it. Once you can easily do it, it's time to move or you don't progress.
Jenny You can walk a mile in less! hah
Sadly bingo wings are a result of diet not exercise. You could do dips, but not much can be done until the fat is gone. Personally I do dips, chinups, and bench press. Heavy bench presses are #1 for me.
4.5-6kg is not a bad jump at all. Go for it.
