Smitty42

I have no idea the relationship between a mother and daughter but I suspect this has nothing to do with your weight. If it wasn't your weight, it would probably be your hair, or your teeth etc. People who typically do this are lashing out at you due to their personal inadequacies. Real or not. Perhaps her mother was very judgemental to her or her husband or someone else may have told her she was a bad mother and she sees your perceived flaws as her fault. Women are such beautifully complicated human beings. I pray you can show your mom some extra grace, as difficult as she can be. I pray you can let the words of hurt that have been spoken to you, drift away with the weight. I don't know you but you are such a strong person by getting this help to change your life. Forgive often, love without prejudice, and live life with no regrets! I wish you the best.

What I find funny is that I haven't even been focusing on my arms. Chest, back, and shoulders are my main interests. But my arms are definitely showing the most change. WTF?!

Here is my before and after. I am a year out.

Had a moment in the gym changing room where no one was around, so I thought I'd take an updated picture for this thread:



Today was arm day and I was completely spent by this time. Guys, quick tip - when you think you are done, bust out the bands and go as fast as you can for as long as you can. That's how you finish a workout!

Answer is yes. Second hand smokes is no different

Thanks! I'll post the results of my consultation, how I feel afterwards, what my insurance requires and how I'm feeling. Appreciate all of the wonderful support, knowledge and inspiration.
