told my fiance...

thanks for the kind words, but lets just start by saying AS did NOT give me the body i have!!! i have been 'on' for just under 3 weeks, but i've been training seriously (heavy lifting, lots of cardio) and strict eating for over 3 years.... hard work and dedication has gotten me here, not popping a few pills...

nothing is going to replace the hard work... save the money, spend it on things that motivate you (be that personal training sessions, new outfits, or other treats to yourself)

just keep doing what you're doing and working hard... it doesn't make sense for you to be looking at to the anabolic world just yet...you're progressing amazingly well, but steroids at this time are not the answer for you... results that you will see (minimal) are not worth the potential sides (which there are many) or the money you will spend (as used by women are generally more costly)...

look at it like this... the way you're body is changing right now, it probably doesn't know up from down... you can't accurately track your progress (or be aware of your sides) during such a phase of change! you are doing GREAT without any extra help... if you were loosing weight any quicker, i'd be worried, since its not healthy to loose the weight rapidly!!!

do some research, read around, and keep it open for a future option, but right now, keep on your current path, you're just not ready yet... eat clean and healthy foods, keep up with the cardio and get into the gym and start off slowly with the weights... you'll get there, keep up the hard work and you will get there!!!

When I told my last bf he said it was him or the roids/gym. He has only seen the media images of drawn women at contest time plus the freaky ones who don't compete because they are 'too' masculine to get anywhere - he thought I would turn into that over night!

Anyway, he turned out to be a real wierdo who is now stalking/harrassing me because I chose life without him.

Some men I know think it is real cute, others think it is dangerous, a threat to fertility and my health.

Does anyone know what the stats are on steroid induced infertility in women?

I often think that negative responses to women on AS is due to women being seen as nothing else but child bearers.

I know....I am not quite ready to jump on the steriod bandwagon just yet. I know that looking for a quick fix isn't going to help me just yet. Besides I kinda like the thought that I am doing this...and doing it by myself. But once I get down there in a "normal sized" body I may have to go that route.

I know it's going to sounds kinda funny coming from someone like me (at this point in time) but I have always toyed with the thought of working out and getting in shape and starting doing amatuer body building shows and seeing where I actually got. Weird coming from a couch potato....I just never got as serious about it as I have got now.

I will admit I am really proud of the way things have been going. I think that one of my major set backs has always been with the fact that I would always slip up and revert back into old habits. I know that when I was having problems with my tooth I went three days without walking and getting back up on that forth day and getting out there was hard.

I know that once I get a new job and I am not working nights anymore (11-7a) I am going to get a membership at the gym where my boyfriend goes. That's going to be the hard thing....none of his friends like me because I am a fat chick. They have told him that he is too good for me.....that he should find someone who is much better than me, younger than me (we have a 10 year age difference 31/21). They ahve even went as far as trying to hook him up with another girl. I was going at one point in time but then I stopped....gained 50 pounds. I know that before I got back I want to be below 300.

If anything....you guys here on the board have been alot of help to me.....

Thanks.....

Wanted to let you know that I am still in the land of the living and that I haven't fallen off the wagon so to speak, my PC is in the process of being hooked up to a cable modem. They came out while I wasn't here and my boyfriends parents didn't know what to tell them other than it didn't work. The three guys who came out said that we needed a phone line. Now correct me if I am wrong...but when you have a cable modem you don't need a phone line. Hence the advertizment for not needing a second phone line and being able to be online and using the phone at the same time. The cable guy(s) are supposed to be here tomorrow. Which I will be here and after a week without a PC AND having worked all .night long I should be in a real good mood for them. Good thing I had a friend who let me borrow his laptop. Granted it took me a week to get it.

Still walking...did take a three day break because my ankles were killing me. I don't know why...I guess because I was trying to take myself faster than what I was ready for...either that or it was those damned biting flies I was trying to walk faster than...LOL.

Thanks for the Bump, Phem.

bump again for red... keep it coming with the updates (hope the cable guy fixed ya up, and NO, you shouldn't need a phone line for cable modem! )
