Hello Ladies!!! How are you all? I am back! Wow, I have REALLY gotten off track with STS since vacation. Those 2 weeks were a GREAT break from real life but with the school year starting up the week after and trying to do catch up at work - it has been crazy I tell ya! I kept moving...

Hi Ladies! I just wanted to check in and say hello! I've been SO busy getting my ducks in row so I can leave for vacation. But I miss you all! I have it on my prep-list to check in before I go - so I WILL be back. Hope everybody is doing well!!! Have a great day.

Big font.:eek: Ha ha. CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting. I bet you'll be walking tall tonight on your walk! Good for you on the extended stretch as well. I think I did that maybe twice.:p But hearing you talk about it like this - I will certainly start doing it regulary. You'll still check...

Nancy, so are you just about done with M3? Funny about not cleaning up your "toys!" It's funny you mention that because just the other day I referred to my workout area as the "playroom". Toys everywhere!!! :eek: Nancy, you are still going to pyramid down, right? Are you getting psyched to...

Happy Sunday Ladies! Justina, congratulations on finishing M1! You are going to LOVE M2. You may not fall in absolute love at first sight - because I will admit the first week of M2 - is a little bit of an adjustment period. Not because it is bad or anything - it's just different. M2 W2 is...

Hello Ladies! Gina, wowsa - 64# for flat bench presses - that's awesome! And you're so right when you feel the strength improvements in everyday life - that's just awesome! And Gina - GREAT news on the plyo legs success! isn't it so true about the accountability to us here on the forum. I...

Meredith, I use the SPRI brand of bands - the blue one - which I believe is the 2nd strongest one there is in that brand. I use the door attachment and sit back as FAR as I can so that pulling it down is as hard as it can get. The way you position your arms makes a difference too. I like to...

Gina, sorry to hear about your job situation but how great it is to be spending that time with Dad. And his comment about "our" garden is so sweet!!! Hopefully some day you'll get to address the loose skin - but you're certainly doing everything you can now about the rest of your body - so...

Wow - I replied before reading all the posts - I missed an entire page - you guys are chatty! Too funny! Nancy….sooo how was 90%???? And ooohh a "martini jiggle"! Don't feel too bad though as I have seen even the those in BEST shape with a little jiggle still going on. I love Gym Style...

Natasha - thanks for the kind words! Good to know about CF and TTM - I may treat myself to those at some point! Funny about your "of course I had a problem!" So true - I was really struggling with the last set in the DWL. And bummer about your lower back! I get that pain periodically and...

Gina, in my last post I forgot to mention you as one of my M3 motivators! You're right up there with the other ladies - I promise! ;) I definitely need to check in more often so my posts don't turn into research projects - i.e. digging through old posts to address everything properly. :D...

Welcome! Welcome to STS Ladies! Si and Meredeith, how is your first week going? I am on M2 W3 but I feel like it was just yesterday that I was like you - starting STS for the first time. I have loved every single minute of it! I'm sure you will too. Si, that's great you can do STS at...

Gina - forgot to mention about your post-STS plan. I think that plan sounds perfect for you. Sometimes its hard to plan these things too far in advance. And that's the beauty of STS - it will always be there. Also, great news on lifting heavy. I've noticed that too that I've really...

Gina, isn't it great how we help each other! :cool: So, whoa - these double wave loads - where did THEY come from??? I was not prepared for those. I think I started off way too heavy so I was all discombobulated (I love that word). :p Justina, make a note to scan through Disc 19 from M2...

Hi Ladies, Ahhh - things have calmed down around here so I have time to post! Yay. We had company all weekend - and as fun as it was - boy it changes your workout schedule and encourages some bad eating habits doesn't it! I'm dying to get back to business with STS! Gina, I was secretly...
