Hi! I'm Jen and I'm a 32 year old mommy and wife who is fighting post-baby/lazy-butt fat. The only kind of exercise I have ever enjoyed and gotten any results from was weight lifting. I am trying to lose 40lbs of excess flab, as well as getting back the body I had prior to my son's birth 2 years ago. I have fought it , and alas, I have lost.
So, I'm here seeking fat-loss advice that is healthy, smart, effective and affordable. I am also looking for training plans I can pass on to one of my hubby's buds who happens to own a gym and has offered to help however he can.
I am looking forward to a new start this year...and I'm committed to success!
God Bless! JenM.

hey hey,
i'm a college frosh who goes to school full time and works about 30 hrs. a week. when i'm not at school, and not working, there's nothing more i like to do than go downstairs and lift weights. i've been lifting for about 8 months off and on, but i'm getting serious now. my primary objective for joining db is to get tips and reviews from people on different supplements and maybe some lifting tips. because of my lack of time and limited budget, i don't go to a gym, i train at home, so i am looking forward to discussing bodybuilding with some other people.
i'm 6'1", about 190 lbs.
right now i'm just trying to gain strength and mass
and i'm looking forward to being a part of this online community
thanks,
James

well well well...lol. I'm 17 and i'm a junior in highschool. I started working out around this time last year mainly doing machines and all that great stuff. Over the summer i was introduced to myoplex which I gained about 10 pounds reaching 145. After summer I began "lifting" and I got into it and i was recently introduced to creatine, and tonight i was introduced to No2. Ive gained alot of weight since last week, 5 pounds! Im looking forward to getting alot of tips from this message board.

Well basically i came to this site cause i was bored and felt like learning more because i heard its a good site. Im 17 years old im 6'7 about 200 lbs and ive been working out for a while. I play basketball and all that good stuff but i just felt like getting on here to learn some new stuff. I know its hard for me to gain a whole lot of muscle at my age and with my height but i do with what ive got and try as much as i can to get bigger. Im great at basketball i just need to get more muscle/weight on me so i can be a more dominant center in college because thats where i want to play hopefully if not a power forward.

Heya, new here..
My name is Ryan..
28 Year old father of 2.. ehh.. 5'9" 190lbs 25%BF Just trying to get in good shape. I quit smoking 5 months ago, and am working on getting the unhealthy parts of my life changed(like work.. haha)
Lemme see...
Bench = 160
Squat = 200
Right now I'm doing the MAX-OT program I found here, which I LOVE by the way.
Goals are to get up to 200 Bench 300 Squat in 11 more weeks, 300/400 by the end of the year(unrealistic.. but gives me something to go for)
I work out after work, usually about 2-3 am (hurray for 24 hour fitness) and am doing a really high protein - low carb/fat diet, about 4000 Calories.. which seems to be working, 2 weeks in and I need a belt for all my pants now, even though I weight 10#s more.
Anyways, just saying hi :) I'm going to post a bunch of recipes in the nutrition area when I get a minute, I've been a chef for 10 years, and don't want to mooch all this great information without offering something.. haha.
Look forward to reading you all later.

ok so here goes. im a 33 year old male from the uk with 6 years of training and not a whole lot of growth! i have good tone and reasonable body fat at 15%, 5 feet 6 and 140 lbs. i can drop weight easily and gain fat easily, but i dont seem to be able to gain the lean mass i want. i think my diet is ok, but i think im making a lot of mistakes in high sets, over training and not enough calories. i get lots of advice from the "gym rats" and work out in a gym where roids are rife, but i want honest gains, not freaky size ..or bitch tits and a bad attitude!
i think i need some quality advice on training, diet and rest without the needles r us peddle.
any advice anyone can give would be hugely appreciated.
thanks in advance and i look forward to hearng from anyone that can help. jim

Well im 28yo/ 5'11"/ 210lbs. Played soccer pretty much all my life from when i was 7yo till i was 21 ended up losing my hearing when i was 24 so the past few years I have had to battle with depression and a life altering change but. But ive come to the conclusion that living the life of vegging out doing nothing is only one step closer to death. So ive been workin out for the past couple weeks using free weights multi vitamins whey protien and a decent diet due to readin these boards. My goa is just to look better and feel better bout my self as a whole..

Hey, this site looks like a good place to chat and swap advice. I am just about 23, 6'1 255 and in April entering my first competition, the Saskatchewan Novice Championships in Prince Albert I have my Personal Trainer Specialist and Nutritionist certificates, love bodybuilding just about as much as life and am 100% natural. So I just like to say hi and I am very glad to be here.

TIA Patricia

Hey, I'm new to this site. I'm 34 and started back in the gym pretty hardcore about 10 weeks ago after a 7 year break...I started slow but now am trying a couple different supplements. No-Xplode and Nitrix. I've gained about 7lbs and increased my "max" on bench already. So I'm pleased so far. I look forward to learning more on the site!

For me I am taking a risk here, so bare with me for I am nervous.
I am a 38 year old mother of 5, 4 of whom I gave birth to. I am severly over weight and out of shape. I have started a work out routine at curves and have been "low carbing" my way. I have lost over 25 lbs and have lost over 30 inches total body. So I am doing good I think.
I would like to repair as much of the damage I have done to my body as possible and have no idea where to begin except for what I have already started. I really don't want to "bulk" but would like to become lean, and maybe defined.
Over all I have started this for myself and kids so I can be there when they have kids. Also, I am getting married in September and would like to look my best if possible, (nice short term goal).
I have no illusion of ever looking like a "super model". I just want to look the best I can be. My kids and my Guy are very supportive, so at least I have that. But, the more support the better.
I stumbled on this site looking for ways to optimize what I have already been doing. I have read Twin Peaks article on carb cycling (I am very addicted to them) and I'm wondering if this can be modified for someone like me who does not want to compete. Just repair her body.
My short term goal is to drop body fat and 2 clothes size by the summer (more realistic for one, but I like to aim high) and because I have had 4 children by c/section I would like to get rid of as much of the pouch the surgery and weight have left me.
I'm a busy person with work full time, Mother of 5, go to school, and teach HypnoBirthing.
Any help or encouragement is welcome. So far I really like this site, though I am still trying to get through the lingo. Look foward to hearing from people and reading the post.
Have a great Day

SW -- you do not need to be competing to Carb Cycle. What are your goals?
