I Everyone,

I just started this program. I dont exercise at all but i have packed on 15 lbs since JULY!!!!!!!!!! So im looking for a program that will help me loose the weight in my hips legs stomach and butt. But I also want to be fit.I dont eat poorly at all. But I dont have any exercise equipment available to me at this time except free weights. Im going to start this program on Monday and im very excited about it. I have never exercised but I will tell you im very ready to get into shape.. I will love any pointers for me from anyone.. And if anyone needs any incouragement from me or anything let me know im here for you also.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to FT.com. I like you have only just started this program and I feel as excited about it as you. Firstly if you haven’t done it already fill in your personal profile so the site can help you to do its thing by telling you what to do & when to do it.

Secondly, and this may sound odd but it will help you in times of need. Take a picture of yourself before you start on Monday. Then when you are feeling a little low or are feeling like you are getting nowhere, take a look and see for yourself. You could also take a tape measure on your waist, arms and all other places to check for yourself how many inches you have lost. However don’t check daily. Maximum do it weekly, for best results once a month is best.

Although this program is new to me, I have done other programs that got me to where I am now and these are some of the principles I still use. YEP even for a guy! :o)


--------------
All the best

Warmly

ChanceDog.

Welcome and congratulations on your commitment. If you are new to weight training begin slowly and concentrate on your form. Also don't forget about getting your diet in order. Above all have fun and enjoy the changes that you are sure to see and, more importantly, feel. Good Luck!
