Haha, when I ran track I lifted weights with the football team (just me and one other girl in there with the whole team...yeah, that was...interesting...) and alot of the guys that did the heavier lifting did that. Scared the life out of me the first couple of days!! And man would I get some dirty looks if they caught me snickering.... :giggle:

It sounds painful O.O I can barely do regular push-ups!

Re: BP.Net Weightloss CHALLENGE
Well so far I am not doing very good. I've skipped the gym two days in a row, and I've pretty much eaten whatever I wanted. I actually gained a lb!
And I have NOTHING tight to wear to take a before pic in. At least nothing family friendly....Everything normal I own is baggy because I've lost so much weight.

:hug: You just need some inspiration. I skipped the gym last night and tonight, too...Yesterday just ended up being really busy--and tonight I'm studying my butt off for a test tomorrow... I'm not going to beat myself up over it, and neither should you.
A thing to keep in mind about weighing in: The body is 60-70% water (depending on your source). A few pounds in either direction can happen just from weighing yourself at a different time of day, after you've had something to drink, or if you've had alcohol the night prior (it dehydrates you and can make you appear to have lost weight).
It takes eating 3500 calories over what you need to maintain in order to gain a pound of fat...that's a LOT of overeating, and would certainly take more than a few days, so don't fret.
You can either just not worry about a picture, or go to WalMart or something and grab a cheap workout outfit to take one in. No big, either way.
:hug:

Ok, come on down to Texas, we'll go to the gym :D
I'm thinking about starting resistance training again this weekend, and just hitting the large muscles.
