I started the 16th at 179lbs. and I am down to 193lbs.
Um... Congratulations on gaining 14lbs...
I agree, I didn't think there would be a lot of women following this lifestyle, which is something that didn't bother me, as the majority of my friends are male. I think that has to do with making a lot of male friends through karate - being the only girl in my club quickly taught me they don't make allowances for people with breasts! But that's the way I like it. Keeping up with the boys is something I take a great deal of pride in.
But it's still great to see the ladies on here. It's a slightly different take on the lifestyle, which I enjoy.
