katz Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Sadly lost some definition in my arms I think (from when the pic was taken to now), and gained some fat on my belly because I've been so lazy last month, but I'm getting back to being more active now.. Can you find a workout partner? It is easier to stay motivated that way, if you have someone to push you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julia Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Can you find a workout partner? It is easier to stay motivated that way, if you have someone to push you. I've been thinking about that as well. However I'm the only person I know (outside of this forum ), that wants to gain muscle mass as a female. Everybody else just wants to be as slim as possible..But I feel like I just needed the one-month "break"/inconsistency, and am now ready to start over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazer Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Keep up the great effort! Sometimes a bit of a break will reinvigorate you to work even harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm so happy about my tummy today (being more active the last few days and eating cleaner/less really has paid off!)I just need to share pics because I'm so happy that I'm finally fitting into my size 4 pants without having love handles..http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/9286/201011121small.jpghttp://img232.imageshack.us/img232/3769/201011122small.jpgI've almost reached my goals considering my tummy, so I'll start to concentrate on my arms and back more (goal = more muscular) Lots of pull ups and push ups.. Will post pictures when I see results [weight: about the same as end of June: 121-124 lbs, but I think there's a difference in how much of that weight is made up by muscles/fat (feel more muscular, less "fat" now)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 You look great! Keep up the hard work while the momentum is high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks!It's funny though.. I've been doing hardly anything for over a month, and have just gotten back to being more motivated the last 2 weeks or so, and still.. I'm nowhere close to how much I did in the summer.. And still I feel great and also am more than happy with the results So maybe a follow-your-heart moderate kind of training is what works best for me..

julia Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Wow, I haven't been on this forum for a very long time. And gave up sports and eating healthy at some point, until I was back at 145 lbs. I finally got my motivation back and have been working hard on gaining strength and losing fat since December. I'm down to 130 lbs, would like to lose a bit more fat, but gain strength. In general I try not to care about the weight too much, as long as I'm feeling strong and keep the tummy roll under control My workout lately has been mostly running/jogging (ran 5.5 miles for the first time in my LIFE a couple of weeks ago That felt amazing!), inline skating, cycling and all kinds of gym classes. And the occasional push ups, pull ups and crunches. I want to get back into body weight exercises a bit more, and I'm thinking about doing something entirely new, maybe martial arts.

blueduckxx Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 in all honesty, just throw those jeans away, stop trying to fit into them again and learn to accept your body as it is, its beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks Yes, it is silly to try and fit into those jeans, but keeps me motivated to see I've made progress already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
