Hello everyone,
I have had the forum page archived on my work computer for some time now and decided that it was time i joined. I have really only recently started to take my weight training serious....i hope i am not to old, but reading many posts, I don`t believe I am. Having said that....i will probably come out with some stupid questions, but please help me as this is all new to me. My current goal is bench pressing my own weight (slightly embarrassed right now) . Got to start somewhere. Look forwarding to reading everyones posts. Cheers!

Welcome! You're never too old to start. Just got my mom started this year and she's 64. Glad to have you on board!

Whatcha doin in Japan? My brother and his fiance spent a year there teaching English...interesting life there.
 
just realized that i really never introduced myself to everyone so here it goes. . .

i am 22 from texas. grew up here my whole life and love it here. guess i am a die-dard texan. i am currently working on my paramedic degree along with a biology. someday i would like to go back and get my nursing degree. i also currently work as a certified nurse's aide. i have been doing this kind of work for the past 4 years. after recovering from a major back / shoulder injury i am just starting to lift weights again. it's been very fustrating getting started again, but i am determined to get there again. i have no children, but hope to someday. only after i find the right guy ( i hope), but if they come before i'll love them the same.

Hey mom!!! LOL i have been looking around to see if you were on here, finally found you...now you are going to have to change that 3-4...Kiara and i love and miss you and hopefully you will be calling soon!!! :heart:
 
How I missed this thread I don't know. I've been in a lot of transition the last year. I just moved to Atlanta from Minneapolis, where I had moved to be closer to family while I worked out of my house as a contractor for an outsourcing company. Prior to that I lived in S. Florida for 12 years. I'm still in temporary housing & trying to adapt to the new job, but I'm closing on my new townhouse next week. Between work & the traffic here, I basically haven't been in a gym for 2 months. I've also got a lot of soft tissue issues in the lower back & shoulders so I also just found a good chiropractor who has ART / soft tissue & sports / strength training background. I just met the guy yesterday but I"m looking forward to getting a whole rehab / training routine put together, along w/ a new diet. The frustration of lower back pain, long hours and not wanting to commit to a gym near my temp housing that won't be near my townhouse has kept me out of the gym in general. Eh, its just been sort of a general frustration about staying in shape so I just stopped worryign about it until I move.

Otherwise, quick intro - I competed 2x in BB in 2000, and found EF while looking for something to keep me occupied while waiting for my next scheduled meal before the 2nd show I did. I've learned SOOO MUCH on this board & in the online BB community in general. I've come to realize I know about 90% more than most of the trainers I've worked with and now would pay major bucks to be able to toss my current career & pursue some of that really cool chiro / soft tissue stuff I'm doing right now. I was in the best shape of my life 4 years ago, and now I feel like I'm falling apart at the joints. I didn't understand how it all works until just this summer when I found this great chiro w/ a focus on sports chiro & soft tissue work. But until I, oh I don't know, marry a rich guy, quit my job & go back to school for med & chiro, I'll just focus on building & executing a good recovery program. :) I'm sure that will be a new learning experience by itself!
 
Well my name is Tracey i joined I think last week. i have found the information on this board very helpful, and some of the pictures i have seen quite inspiring. I am from Toronto Ontario canada and i wokr in marketing. I guess i have a swimmers build and the reason i am so interested in this board is because i want to improve, and enhance my physic. Im pretty muscular as it is but i guess some of it may be covered by a small layer of fat which i have been working my ass of the last month to get rid of. I'm 5'6 130lbs, and have quite a large frame. Anyhow i find most of what you guys have to say quite interesting and hope to keep learning more and more

That's so awesome...mother and daughter on here. I think this may be a first! :)
 
Oops, I must've missed this thread somehow :)

I'm Christina, I'm 18 and a university student. I'm originally from a town near Toronto, but I go to school in Kingston. I'm trying to get through the whirlwind of lectures and classes, work, friends, etc. while keeping as much of my sanity as possible...so far, so good :) I'm doing a concurrent Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education. I'm going into teaching, but would eventually like to get into administration as well (although you never know, I could still end up changing my mind, lol).

Anyway, it's nice to meet all of you :)
 
I missed it too...I'm "newer", 29 taking athletic therapy at university, work as a personal trainer/rehab-reconditioning aide. I love football, dancing and my girlfriend...yes, I am a girl too ;)
 
Hey !! I'm a Dayna too. I live in British Columbia, Canada. I am 37 years old. This forum is awesome. I live in a town of 30,000 and have NO bodybuilding friends. :( I keep starting and stopping. By myself. Anyways, I am happily married and have 3 children from a previous marriage. (18,16,14) They are all so good to me and a lot of fun.

Hmmm. I am having the best years of my life and thinking, "why couldn't I have had these in my youth!"

Hello everyone !!!!

Hello to all the new ladies

hello Ladies, nice to meet you all...

I am Yasmina, 28 yrs old, live in Australia, resigned from work about 2 years ago - to persue a career in business. I am currently a student and have about 1 year left of uni. and then I will graduate. I love working out, I do cardio and weights.
Broke up with my ex about 1.5 years ago, am dating but I think I have become very fussy as to who I date these days....Unfortunatly my ex has tarnished the reputation for the rest of his male counterparts!!! - however I secretly believe that there might be some good men out there left to be explored :) - or else I might change sides :P (((just kidding)))

I love this forum and the wide topics available for discussion. The best part is that people are allowed to use profanities without being kicked out! :)
 
does anyone know what the karmic power & karma hits are? and also why is there a "good bro" under my username (i noticed that it changes sometime to "natural" I think)

Karmic power is how much karma you give someone when you give them karma...it increases with your post count, how long you've been a member, and the amount of karma you have. And karma hits is the amount of karma you've been given by other members. :)
 
My name is Kelly, and I am 22. I have been in the navy for the last five years. That sucked, but it has made me into a stronger person. I will NEVER complain about any other job I have in the future, I know that for sure! I live north of Seattle with my fiance, and I am starting nursing school in January. My fiance is the one who got me into fitness, and we are getting married on January 7th in Las Vegas at the top of the Stratosphere Tower!

Hi Yasmina. I am happily married (2nd time) for nine years now. I know that if anything ever happened to my husband I would be the same way. Maybe just stay single. Nice to meet you.

Hi Katie - I recently moved south from Mpls where I moved for 8 months while I worked on a contract job. I have family there so it was a nice opportunity. Its just so damn cold! (And go figure, I was born even further north than that!) But its a great place for the healthcare industry. (I"m NOT in that industry.)

Welcome aboard!

Hi ladies, my name is Sara. I'm 23, a student, and I work full time at a car dealership. I have been stopping by EF for many months now, but never really posted. You all have so much knowledge and motivation, that I joined the fourms to get help & guidance from all of you!
I have always been active and somewhat fit, but I really want to concentrate on weight training and building a nice physique, one that actually shows muscle definition. I have lots to learn from you ladies & I'm sure I'll ask many questions.
Nice to meet you all!

Hi y'all. It's in the 70s down here...it's not supposed to be. January is normally cold, even down here. So much for global warming being a rumor started by the liberals. I'm having to run my mosquito magnet year-round.

I've been here at EF for a while, but I don't post much, so I thought I'd post a hello here in the introductions thread. (Hi RW!)

I'm a 37 yo mother of two, married to Majutsu, a more active member of EF. I love lifting and doing yoga. I try to feed my family mostly organic food, and I like to cook. I'm also an avid reader, and I write. I've had some work published, though not as much as I'd like. I despise the submission process, but since I'm not getting any younger, one of my resolutions is to submit more. (They don't come knocking on your door looking for poems.) As far as fitness goals for the new year, they're pretty much the same as before: to constantly progress in strength and flexibility.
 
Hey Ladies...My name is Tracy
Well I'm recently divorced so I know the picky thing which was discussed up above... I'm 25 and recently moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan from Las Cruces, New Mexico. I was in the Air Froce for 4.5 years, and now I'm a System's Engineer for a contract company which is quite boring but pays well. I'm actually starting massage therapy school next month. My long-term plan is to open a spa one day. I don't have any children, unless you want to count my boxer puppy named Isaiah. I have been working out since I was 14 and absolutely love it. My hobbies include running, hitting the gym, rock climbing, hiking, skiing, trying new things, and traveling.
 
Hi ladies.....Im Julie

Im 38 years old, mom of 2 girls 13 and 19, I live in California in a little town called Norco(horse town USA).
I work as a Animal care tech and I own my own business, so I am always on the go.
I just started lifting and found this site and love it, you guys are all so helpful.
 
Hey Ladies!:) My name is Mandi, 26 from Chicago burbs. I signed up last Sept and posted a little but got caught up in work (and working out). Just wanted to officially introduce myself and wish everyone a happy & healthy new year! :wavey:

Hello everyone!

My name is Brenda. I'm live in Alexandria, Virginia (which is 10 minutes outside of D.C.). I'm 26 years old and I'm a paralegal. I'm currently in a relationship with a really great guy. He introduced me to EF when we first started dating (almost 2 years ago!), but I was intimidated and afraid to get involve w/ bbuilding. I've always worked out, but for some reason I could not get pass the mental barriers I placed upon myself. Now I find lifting empowering. There is nothing like walking into the freeweight room, sliding some weights on a barbell and showing the "wannabes" the right way to do a squat!!! I'm sorry I'm venting.

Anyway, besides lifting, I enjoy cooking, reading, dancing, making jewelry, and living life outside of the box.

Did you say previously something about cookies?? Do you do that for a living or to make money also??

Welcome!!
 
Jenscats, Thanks for the welcome. And No I dont' bake cookies for a living, although that would be awesome. I just really like baking and :RADAR. I don't do it anymore obviously. I just can't resist the stuff.
If I was around it all the time i'd be :twirl: rolling instead of walking. ;)
If ya ever want a cookie, bar or cake recipe...just ask :qt: I got a million of em'!
 
Hey ladies.. mainly, i am just tired of being so paranoid about my body and the way i look, i am not confident, so i'm trying to build a self-esteem... my name is amanda, and i am from a small town in Iowa. I am currently going to nursing school, and i am 18 years old.... young and clueless, i know-- but thats where you come in! ;) haha. I am really excited to do this after reading this thread. you all seem like such awesome people... so, if i can ask-- why are you guys doing this??
 
Hi all. My name is Aimee. I live in PA. Have three kids, no husband now and not attached to anyone.
Pretty boring really, I work full time and try to get as much excersise as a full time job and three kids will allow!
 
Hi Ready4 & hardlilchic!

Welcome to the EF Ladies Forum!

Ready4 - Why do we do this?? Well for starters, when I was 18, there was no such thing as the internet, girls didn't "lift", we "did Jane Fonda" instead. Thank God times have changed! There's so much misinformation, bad media, bad influence and a lot of common sense that just needs to channeled for fitness and here is where people who want to learn and embrace a healthy lifestyle come to give support, commiserate and learn! Personally, despite the Jane Fonda era, I still have been lifting since I was 16 and I love doing it and everything else related to fitness & healthy living!

Aimee -- anyone who manages 3 kids is NOT boring! Try living w/ a cat... now THAT'S boring...! Welcome to the boards! If we can't add thrill to your life, then no one can! ;)

As the thread starter I guess I should actually post on this mofo like once every 3 months. :)

Welcome to everyone. I'd like to encourage you all to speak your mind, while avoiding personal insults. Dont be afraid to disagree. If the two women's forums are really to foster education and support we need frank discussions.

peace, anya/willow

Hi all I am a fitnutmom and a newbie!
I just started to use Yohimburn ES (day 3). Some history:was 198lbs now 125 lbs took 5 yrs to take & keep off. I work out daily, 45 mins aerobic.every am, and 45mins wt training. BF 22% 35bust 26waist 38hips and 22 inch wobbly thighs & butt so I concentrate on them every other day w/wts & aerobics daily every am. Cannot get any definition at all in lower body half. I believe the problem is since I am menopausal (at age 35 total hysterectomy) now age 40, no Drs will give me Testosterone & I have been using a special hormone cream for over 2 yrs formulated by my saliva test which includes 30mg Progesterone,5mg DHEA, 5mg Pregnenolone,& 5mg 7 keto dhea, and tribulus 600mcg, all mixed in a cream with 4-andro (1mg) taken twice daily. Helps with mood, sleep, suffer no hot flashes or mood swings, no other problems except NO SEXUAL DESIRE since dr wont give me testosterone despite zero levels in saliva & blood and weak muscles as I once was lifting 40 lb barbells now having trouble with 10's and 12's doing squats, and lunges. I believe this is why I am not seeing any muscletone and 1 dr gave me Androgel which was too high a dosage for a woman no matter how little I used. Drs in Florida suck & can't find anything to help with muscle strength, I do use creatine, whey protein, HMB, and lots of vitamins, CLA, flaxseed oil. I am a nutritionist & wellness consultant so I have been eating clean over 5 yrs. I need some definition & don't know what I can add to help with muscle tone to tighten lower half & help libido that is safe for women. Did I mention I am married and hubby doesn't get to enjoy his wife since surgery 5 yrs ago? This is my first post, sorry so long. fitnutmom If I am posting to wrong place, please direct me as I mentioned I am new. thanks for listening.
 
Ladies if someone can read my first post with some suggestions to aid with muscle growth and libido when I have no testosterone due to hysterectomy. I am 5ft3 125, eat clean as I am a nutritionist. I work out 5 days a week 45 mins aerobic 45 mins wt train and you would never know it. Have little strength and now osteoporosis sinking in per doc but will not give me Testosterone even though I know it is a bone builder. Gave me 30mg progesterone with 5mg dhea, 5mg pregnenelone and 5mg 7-keto dhea and I take this cream twice daily to aid with hot flashes, menopause issues but it does nothing for libido or strength gains and muscle tone. Any suggestions.. I just turned 40.....married with no libido is no fun.......5 yrs post surgery. Drs believe testosterone are just for men and I went to 9 diff. drs. Any suggestions appreciated. I work part time at GNC as well as being a nutritionist. Thanks.
 
I am new also, live in Northern California, 47 years old. My real name is Christianne.
Got a bow-flex from Costco a few months ago...so far I like it. Feels like stretching and lifting at the same time, but I don't have a squat/lunge attachment on it.
I did the dating thing last year, after quite a few years Not. He was 11 years younger.

Yeah, the lying thing is so bizarre! Lying for no particular reason either. Ordinary guys too, not obviously fuck-ups its strange!
I am a "merchandiser" right now. Was a tour guide. Curator assistant, museum/gallery work is my usual field...costume designer.. stuff like that. Not in my "field" right now.

Anyway. Doing a life make-over. Even the furniture is getting tossed.

Hello. I've been on here for quite some time now-
have been through a lot of changes (all good ones)...
I'm still in PA- however, I do have family in Manassas and Fredericksburg whom i visit occasionally- was thinking of relocating there since the job situation/ economic outlook here in PA is not that great...
I've been to Old Town Alex- it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited! Nice to meet you- and everyone else, too. :)
 
hi, I'm new here (captain obvious to the rescue) 25, married a month, work for a healthcare org. Been working out steady for 2 yrs, got sick, and I keep gaining weight , just started taking birth control in April, and have put on 10 lbs since then. Started lurking on here, and just ordered some T-rex and cardio breeze, this site has really motivated me, and I'm ready to bust the door down to get to the gym today :)

hey, I'm glad you've joined us. :):) there's a tremendous amount of archived fitness related information in the women's discussion forum. I believe there are "stickied" threads at the top of that forum to get you started.
 
Hi everyone I'm new here. I'm getting back on track with myself. I think I let being a mom be an exuse to not take care of me. Wake up call,took a good hard look at myself in the mirror naked :worried: ,I couldn't believe I let myself go like that. So enough crying about and get moving already,right. LOL I started reading all I could get my hands on about diet and nutrtion and then started making changes not just for me but my whole family. We started eating more fresh fruits,veggies,leaner meats,less sweets,more whole grains and drinking alot more water. I then joined the local ymca and now I'm hooked. I love working out. I've never seriously lifted b/c of the myth of women bulking up :rolleyes: . Now I am watching my diet I'm eating 5 to 6 small meals a day and drinking about a gallon of water daily and lifting on a regular basis. I have just in the past few days or so redid the workout to break it up some I do my shoulders,biceps,triceps and fore arms on one day along with ab work and cardio,the next day I do chest and back work again I work my abs and cardio,then my lower body,abs and cardio. I am at 172 lbs now at 5 ft 6 inches,I've lost 10 lbs and 2 sizes so far. It's working and I'm feeling a lot better now than before. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better.
