This workout thread is keeping me motivated. There were 2 days that I really did not want to go to the gym, but did it because I didn't want a big blank for the day. (plus I didn't want to do 2 workouts)

Feel free to give me a kick if I miss a day.

No kicks from me, just some appreciation! You are really motivating me to stick things out until I reach my goal (and then continue maintaining from there!) I am really proud that you are able to face down the negative comment ladies too. I don't know why some people want to rain on the parade. I am more than happy for you and the success you have had, if I can look half as good as you do when I reach goal, I will be super happy! Keep up the great work! You help me stay motivated to fit my exercise in!!!
