Well, without the paper in front of me and all the percentages, etc...I can basically tell you that my bf percentage did not change, and I added 3 pounds of lean muscle mass. Which accounts for the weight I picked up as Earl kept telling me. He did great. I will let him toot his own horn. I am just going to have to beef up the cardio at this point to get the bf % down, but I am really happy with the muscle gain. He said that it is very hard for women to gain muscle anyways and for me to put on three pounds of it is really great. I can see the difference too. I know that when I get this loose skin off that will make a difference too, because quite honestly I do believe that is where I harbor most of my excess weight. Otherwise.... HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MOMS OUT THERE!!!

Happy Mother's Day Val!!! 3 pounds of lean muscle!!!!!!!!!!!! That rules!! Congrats

Thanks, I didn't feel like it was that much, but Earl explained to me how hard it is for women to add lean muslce mass and that made me feel better. Plus it gave me some ideas for tweaking my workout a little bit. Tried throwing the discus just for fun today and jumping up and down the stairs again. That's a lot hard than people think it is. I wi**** could have been more fun for me, but Earl just wasn't in much of a sharing mood today, so I had to do it by myself. Thanks for the Happy Mothers day. So far it hasn't been such a great one for me. My turn to be blue I guess. But, it could be worse. I think I will go shopping...Yeah, shopping always makes me feel better.

Shopping cures all! Did you get anything good?

Yes it does!! Shoes, and a top. Then I had dinner with my kids at a chinese buffet, and spent about 3 hours with them, laughing and talking about all kinds of funny things. Turned out to be a really nice day after all! I haven't laughed that much in a long time with them. Really nice. Thanks, Val

Great Job Val, While most people your age are loosing muscle, you are gaining it. It is so hard for woman to gain muscle, but it is soooo good for them. Keep it up.

Thanks John! Gonna try to tweak up the cardio a little bit and see if I can add more muscle and drop the bf percentage even more. Goals, gotta have goals. I know I did some hellish cardio mowing the neighbors back forty last night. Got the blisters on my hands to prove it. Mosquito bites too, and Lord I hope not poison ivy. I saw it last night in the back, and thought, man I am screwed... Oh well. Val

Awesome job Val! Muscle building mama! You and Earl both sound like you're doing great. Don't talk to me about excess skin! I'm starting to get serious daydreams about plastic surgery....going to wait for my one year anniversary to even make a phone call, though. Hope you had a fun mother's day. ~Annie 307/186/150
