Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Hello everyone. My name is Beth and I have been lurking since June. My one year anniversary of low carb was on October 15th. I was following the Schwarzbein plan and switched to Atkins this past June. I have lost 23 pounds since I started low carb last year. I would like to loose 12 more pounds. Right now I'm just maintaining and trying to change my body shape through exercise. got me interested in weight training. I am also doing StairMaster and short walks. I'm 36 and live in Chicago with my dh, two cats and no kids. I have really enjoyed reading all of your posts. This group is an inspiration. Beth > How are you doing Beth???

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Hi . Thanks for the welcome. My body is resisting change. Over the past year I had been doing the StairMaster 5-6 days a week. The closer to goal I got, the more I realized the StairMaster wouldn't be enough. It's too soon to see any results from the weight training. I am working with really small weights doing three sets of each exercise. When it gets a little easier I will add more weight. I feel the muscles getting stronger. I figure I'm changing from the inside out. This morning I completed my ninth week. I'm hoping for some limited results at the three month mark. I started doing full body workouts so I could fit more aerobics into my week. The dh and I went hiking a couple of weeks ago. I had drastically cut down my StairMaster time to fit in the weights. My stamina on the hikes really suffered as a result. I hope adding it back in will do the trick. I'm not as concerned with the scale as I am with my bodyfat percentage. I have declared war on my cellulite! Do you think more lambaries will help? Beth > Hi Beth - nice to meet you.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Well Beth my hat is off to you (and anyone else that devotes so much time to exercise) :-) It really sounds like you know what you need and what your body needs to reach the goals you have set and I'm sure that you will see those changes that you want. I was never one for lifting weights - but maybe as I get down in weight I will attempt it. Keep it up Beth - you are going great :-) Take Care G. 230/211/130 Sept/2000 ICQ #349692 Home Page - http://www.brunnet.net/k & l You can't change the direction of the wind, But you can adjust your sails.
