I speak from experience.. I am telling you what I've learned BUT you have to go through it to know 1st hand so by all means, do it...just do NOT cry when you see a # you are unhappy with.here2help said:Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to get away from that mindset until I start seeing some serious (50+lbs gone) results.

No, i'm not getting divorced! Shit, my wife wouldnt let me off the hook that easy lol! I ment i've seen it happen is all! Sorry to hear about your parents and the effect it had on you. I was to the point with my wife a year ago where i had papers drawn and was about to do it. But i thought of my son, and the fact that lots of men give up on a marriage when it gets tuff. Takes a real man to put in the effort and make one work. I figure if that dosnt work, i can always have her wacked
~OMG my legs are absolutely trashed this morning!!! I could barely walk up my stairs last night and this morning it proved equally as difficult, so I skipped my morning cardio. I'll see how I'm doing tonight and will either make it up or just go tomorrow morning.
Sooo.....I got my gym membership last night
I decided to do the first 3 lifts from the 5x5 program that everyone here seems to be doing.
Squats - was doing up to 200, besides my legs being useless today, the back of my neck is VERY sore where the bar was. I even had a towel between the bar and my shoulders. Any advise for next time?
Bench - all the benches were taken unfortunately and I was too stupid enough to realize that I could have used the same thing for squats and bench. When I can back to it, somebody else was using it also so I instead used a machine for benches instead. The machine was kinda weird though, I was able to lift 230 on it but I know I'm nowhere near that. On the machine at my apt complex I can only do 130. I'll have to make sure I wait for an open bench next time.
Barbell row - This lift felt kinda weird to do, I had never done it before. I basically found a lone barbell that was on a 3ft stand and put the weights on it and then just lifted it off and used it in the air. I think I was doing up to 135 on it but can do more next time, my back doesn't feel sore at all.
