After struggling with weight gain despite daily cardio, clean eating and weight machines I finally went and got my thyroid tested. Bingo! Now I've been on the thyroid medicine since January and have seen some small weight loss. During my research over the last year on healthy living I saw MANY inspirational stories of women who were lifting, and lifting heavy. I've decided that that's what I want. I just completed my first day of lifting from my new weight bench.

I LOVE how my muscles feel after weights. My strength is no where NEAR what it should be, and what's "heavy" for me is really quite sad, but I won't be here for long. To me there's nothing like the feeling I get when HOURS after my workout I can still feel the fire in my muscles.
