Currently following the stronglifts.com 5x5 plan. It's great, I love weightlifting. I wish I had discovered it years ago.

I read an interesting article that points out a lot of misconceptions people have about bodybuilding or weightloss in general.
Feel free to have a look here.

It may not be all new info, but it's a good read.

Not sure why NONE of my pictures will upload!
I am having a hard time losing the last 15 lbs after having a baby 2 years ago. I want to be back to my weight when I met my husband 7 years ago. We are going on a cruise June 7th and would LOVE to be at 128lbs.
I am a stay at home mom and love it.
When my daughter is taking her nap, I will play on the Wii. I am usually running around the house cleaning, cooking, playing, etc.
For me to lose weight, I am not allowing myself to have a drink during the week (wish me luck).

Oh, and here I thought one of the misconceptions was going to be something like "Not all blondes are dumb"!
