Hey Dee Dee, How are ya? By the way you look great! I am going to be starting my new lifting program Friday morning. My trainer is going to have lift heavier weights and lower reps. I am going to get RIPPED

Thats my plan anyways not superwoman but definition and the "cut" look

Good Luck! Michelle

Topic: beginners competition

Okay - the owners of my gym have told me about a beginners competition for body building. They said there is a category for those who have lost extrememe amounts (more than 100 lbs) of weight and have asked me to join the competition. Its still 6 months away so I'm trying to figure out what it is I need to do to get better definition but I don't want to get "bulky" becasue I think that's not very feminine for a girl. Any thoughts?

That's great. Let me know how it works out. I've never really paid much attention to my calorie's burned or heart rate. Too much to think about. I just want to put my head down and survive.

I noticed that I was burning as many calories as the machine said...which kinda sucks. But at least now I am getting my heart rate where it needs to be and I know exactly how many calories I am burning.

Awesome! Gonna have to get one of those; did you notice any difference between this and the monitors on machines you have used. I would think with the specific info you input you would get a more accurate picture. Good luck at the gym

Topic: Hello!

I love my new heart rate monitor!

It really helped to keep me going with my cardio and I liked seeing the calories burned. I got mine at Dick's for just under a $100... I have my consultation today at the new gym I joined

I am hoping just to get some new ideas for something different to do... Have a good days guys!
