I've hit a little plateau; my body is hanging onto every ounce with a vengeance. I think it's finally caught on that I'm losing on purpose and it's ticked off. Being fat is so much easier!
Anyway, I started my stationary bike this week and the free weights last night. I'm starting very very low since I haven't done any of this stuff for years, but I feel good that I started. I've received good advice here from folks who have already traveled this path, and plan to keep my weights low and my reps high.
I started at 3 reps of 10 last night with 4 pounds weights. Pretty low, LOL! When I stopped I could feel my shoulders working and decided that was good. I have three cousins who've had shoulder surgery, so that may be a weak area in my family. So far, so good for me. I'm keeping a log to track my reps and the weight I'm using.
