Thanks Elite Fitness Ladies

[Island_Girl]

Hi Rachel! Welcome to the Ladies of EF! I'm late in the welcome. Been kind of out of the loop after this weekend and trying to get back into my routine. So awesome to have you here.

Thanks for the welcome Island Girl, I am really happy to be here.

I saw your post on Atlanta and you look great, I love your physique. I look forward to finding out how you go in the new division

Thank you Rachel! I'm super stoked too. I want to compete already. hahaha....

Start up a log when you get a chance!!!

 

[RachelM]

Yes, I will do. I have been keeping track of my eating on fitday and jotting down the changes in the weights I've been lifting. I would be interested in everyones input because the workout I'm doing varies a fair bit from other logs that I've read where I'm doing a full body workout rather than working one body part per workout day. Stay tuned....

Hi everyone,

I have been researching and using Elite Fitness for a number of months because my inexperience and lack of knowledge meant the 1 year that I have spent in the gym left me not only wasting time, but getting injured and being heavier than what I was when I began. Go figure!!!

I have found a load of information here so thanks girls for making this information public, I am most grateful. I unfortunately can’t post up everyday so I can’t take need2 up on his offer, but his words hit home and I thought I would share my progress with you as it is the information available here that has played a large part.

I have read the stickys and have started on one of the workouts that Tatyana has posted. The “Beginners: Practical Starting Routines for The Drug-Free Trainee by Casey Butt, Ph.D” and I am currently in week 7 (training 3 days a week). I have also changed my diet and I am eating clean.

My body is changing, I have a noticeable increase in energy and I feel great!

I am 5’6 and 136 pounds. I haven’t had my body fat checked but there is too much around my hips and thighs. My upper body is nicely toned, but I would love more muscle!!

My broad goals are: to increase strength, to increase stamina, to have more energy and to have a body I can be proud of.

Anyhow girls, that’s a bit about me and what I’m doing, but most importantly I just wanted to say thanks because the information here has given me a base to start from, and although it’s only been put into practice for a short time the results are spot on!!

I am still going to give you a free plat on the house girl. Make it easy for you to post and use the forums. I am doing all I can to take care of the woman of the forums and bring the life back into the female forum... I think its going great now and we got a lot of new woman posting up and helping each other now...

Tons of info to read here but lives change when people get together and work to help each other. I have seen it with my own eyes for 7 years now.

Thanks Need2, being plat does make it easier, plus it's great to see the pics! You are doing a great job, Need2, the female forum definitely has life and everytime time I look there's something interesting to read. There are so many upbeat and knowledgable girls here, I look forward to learning from everyone here and sharing my experiences. Plus the added motivation is great, so thanks for the encouragement Amy and Roxy, it's good to be here!!
