omg it felt like yestersay when I hit double digits and you were talking about being in the 70's I can not believe it!

i know at this point, its goes faster than you can imagine. When youre in the 100's and 200's and you go down to 150, 140 and so on its so different.

Thank you ladies

kim-i keep thinking about the pics too and thats why i worked out last night and JUSt arms alone i did 45 minutes. I have to do this everyday now

I know! My arms actually are starting to shape up (finally!) Look OK in the pics I took last night at my 2nd fitting (will post pics later tonight). Besides weight classes - I've been doing push ups off the excersize ball (so kind of on an incline) and they kill!!
