Offical Women's Fitness Lounge progress pics challange....

[Thandie]

Here is a picture two months post comp and about 5 lbs over. Is not as bad as I thought, although I feel like a whale and reatining a lot of bf on my abs. Another pic of my back coming up later today, now I have to run.

Ok, here is the back.
I'm looking to put on 10lbs all together. I'm also doing it slowly in order not to gain too much bf. Maybe it'll adjust itself and I wont feel so bloated..

Can someone show me how to post these pics on the page? They're not coming out very clear..

Ok, this is my second attempt to upload these pics..

Same old, same old. I'll call Frank on Monday. Damn, now I'm obsessed.

I still hat you, Thandie. LOL

Yesterday I did upper body:

3 sets free motion chest presses - supersets, high, mid, low.
3 sets bent over single arm cable rows
3 giant sets consisting of: standing cable crunches, push-ups, hanging leg raises.

20 minutes in the pool and I was T-O-A-S-T.

We spent the rest of the day at the motorcycle show at the Dallas Convention Center. Got an exceptional deal on leathers and boots. But by 7PM I was so fried that all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and watch a little TV. By 10PM my lights were out but big.

I feel tighter and can feel that that *little bit* of back fat is finally gone. I dunno if it is worthy of posting a pic. As I said, my progress won't be monumental as my goals weren't necessarily to alter my appearance all that much. But I feel better in general physically AND mentally so I am quite pleased.

God, I'm such a retard..

Yes, your progress will be fantastic because you changed what you were doing. Why not give yourself another week before posting new pics so we can get a better idea of your progress.

Good Evening Ladies,

I've never posting the the Women's forum before..so I don't know if I'm out of line...if I am...just delete me
*EDIT*....sorry......I lied I forgot... I did post in Thandies log!

Just wanted to comment on what a great job you are all doing, and it's really nice to see all of you so support of each others efforts. I have my own journal/log going right now, so I know it can be a royal pain, but not only is it of benefit to you......but to all of our members also!!

I brought my wife to the page today and am trying to convince her to join EF and post up in this thread as she works out with me six days a week.....I think you all would really help her achieve her goals!

I feel blessed in being a member of EF and all the support I've received from members.....IMHO this is the best place on the net!

Keep up the great work Ladies......you all look stunning already...so any changes will just mesmerize us EF male members!!!!

Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

Men are welcome and encouraged to post on this particular forum as long as ya'll keep it respectfull.

We are so pleased that you are encouraging your wife to join.

All of us are here for the common good and the more the merrier.

Now that I am thinkin bout it, it should be time for me to post up new pics, but as I said from the outset my goals are not really visual but more performance related. I will post up this weekend, but truthfully I don't want to disappoint. I don't think I look all that much different. But I FEEL a whole lot better and my time in the water has increase well past what I thought it would.

That is what matters! The way you physically look is just a side bar ++ to what you are doing. The other stuff is WAY more important!!!

chubby alert? you look fantastic---i may suggest some squats and dead lifts for some overall core development; lunges and maybe a bit of upper back/anterior delt /tricep work....but that is really just playing with perfection.

Thank you eddymerckx! that's very kind of you.
I am most concern with the fluff around my abs. This is due to hormones where one (on menopause) tend to hold bf. The feel of it is a lot worse then it looks. I felt like a cow then. It's getting better however.
I am doing squats, deads, lunges, in addition to working on my delts and back. It just takes a bit longer for women and especially at my age. But, I'll slowly get there by comp time, April-May.
