Hello all, I'd like to introduce myself and give you a little info about me. I also have a bunch of questions that I'll post, but let me know if I should really be posting them in another section.
Anyway, I'm 27, married, 2 kids. I have been on and off with PE for probably 10 years. I don't know if I"m allowed to talk about other forums or not, but I initially started on a forum called cheekycherry. I haven't been there in a long time, but it's where I got a lot of my info initially. When I first started I never really had any gains, and I think there were a lot of things that attributed to that. Poor form, inconsistency, the fact that I was still young, etc. I really haven't done much as far as PE goes until probably about 2 years ago. I have been overweight for some time, and was feeling pretty down about myself, so thought that PE could help me feel better about myself (I"ve started running and watching what I eat and I have lost over 40lb since then!
). While I've never considered myself small, I've never really thought I was big either. (Starting stats EG 4.5, BPEL 5.5). I bought an extender a couple years ago, but don't really use it. Once I learned it took so much time, I realized it wasn't realistic for my lifestyle. If I could wear it for shorter times then maybe it would be helpful, but that's a whole different discussion.
So, I've done many newbie routines, and feel like conditioning probably isn't that big of an issue for me. It's been about 2 months since I've done anything (with the exception of wearing stealth, which I am pretty excited about). I've always had trouble with staying motivated, and one thing or another causes me to miss a workout, leading to missing a week, leading to a year later. I'm looking to make some real gains, but not completely sure where to start. I'd love some advice as far as what I should do considering my history. I'm currently closer to 6 BPEL, but admittedly need to take some real measurements again. I know this is a good community (I've been a long time lurker), so I'm excited to finally be an active part of it. Thanks!
