Putting Humpty Dumpty Together Again

Bigger Stronger Leaner Powerful Women
41

Very nice training Catnip. Like you, I had a tendency to get skinny after I had my kids. My lowest was at 105lbs and I’m 5’6". I looked very yucky.

fwiw, I’ve seen ebbs and flows in powerful women over the years. It seems like every year and a half there’s a big tempest and a couple of people leave. It’s typically voluntary and some of those people are missed. However, more people come on board and bring new life.

I log in the over 35 since I feel I have more in common with oldies than just being female. Now if there were an old women section, I’d be all over that in a heartbeat. We could discuss peaking for meets while going through menopause :slight_smile:

I can’t say I know what went on but I do know that this forum will continue just as strong as it has been. Time and observation have shown that to be true.

This whole PW thing is crazyness.

Good work so far, Catnip. :)[/quote]

Thank you! I am busting my butt and starting to see results! My log is actually in the Indigo Forums but you have to be on Indigo to comment so I am going to start double logging. [/quote]

Yeah, cat, I found this out. I was pissed because I have so many questions to ask about that product. HipScar is doing a fantastic job as well as you. Oh well, and thanks for accepting friendship.

You can ask me all the questions you like! However… it will be from a woman’s point of view. I’ve seen your videos! I am sure you have grander questions! PM Hip too if you want. I am sure he’d be happy to help. You can also post questions in the Livespill portion. You don’t have to be on Indigo to do that.

Thanks guys! He’s such a GOOD baby but still a baby nonetheless and very demanding of my time. However, I still manage to grab an hour plus at the gym almost everyday! Priorities, right? It’s my plan to look killer this summer at the pool with a 5 month old on my hip and then again in the Caribbean WITHOUT a baby.:wink: Perhaps maybe even in Thailand, right Edgy? Lol!

I should have done legs today to make up for skipping them the other day but I wasn’t feeling it so I am going to do them tomorrow. I am out of order but so what. As long as I do them… it’s all good.
