I hold a lot of muscle…not much fat (except the lower “behind” area lol) thats why Im afraid to work out. when I was in high school and lifted in gym and played vball my weight went up to 150 some. Im not complaining by any means…I was built like ive never been before…but I was in a size 12 pants bc my legs/ass get huge! I lift a lot of weight at work purposly so my arms stay fit. Not sure how much I can bench, but I can curl a lot. BUT I have bad carpol tunnel in my rt hand. It causes a lot of problems. I have bad circulation in my legs too. Asthma kicks in too if I work too hard. (like when I run) I dont know, I love to work out, just not sure how to do so w/o getting too big…thats why I try to dance at least once a week. Keeps my stomach and legs nice and firm. ---

And yes, i will help you out with some tips/training…maybe we can do a little tint discount for some personal training/nutrition advice??? Again? i didnt do it the 1st time right? Training wise i need help, and i need somebody to tell me what foods to eat, what portions etc. i can munch 2 subway hoagies on any given day, but its usually my only meal of the day as well. good luck gettin into the 600 club, that’ll be pretty sweet! ---
