My name is Lindsey, I'm 20 years old. I've been overweight for most of my life and even hit the obese mark at one point. I have B.E.D. and it tends to take control of me sometimes but I'm making a change and moving in a positive direction. Lately I've been doing less than great but things are changing for the better! I have recently completed Tough Mudder and am looking forward to doing so again in the future!

Question for those who lift weights or do the weight machines

How much do you do? Depending on the machine I do 40-50 pounds for arms.

On the crunch machine as I call it, I could barely do 10 lbs when I started. I’m now doing 45-50.

Arms started out at about 20 for the machine where you go straight up and down. I was at 40 today.

For the bicep curl one I used to be at 35-40. I pushed it to 50 today.

I’m just wondering how long you guys have been using weights [machines preferably] and where you started/where you are now.
