*Bob thought the m1469 may have gotten pinned down and stuck on a weight machine after trying to lift too much weight.*
No, I don't foresee that happening as my Universal machine has adjustable catchers, and I always make sure I can actually get out from underneath them. My bench setup, for example, is so low that the bar might actually nearly touch me when I'm really working at it, but, it couldn't pin me and I don't think it would actually smack me, really, if it fell or if I failed

. Similarly with how I set it up for squats. But, I got the idea that soon I might start "maxing" once in a while ... I forget how often we used to do that ... once a month? Every term? I can't remember. Obviously I can do that as I wish. But, I'm getting pretty close to moving up in both squats and bench, and I might go ahead in a week move it up in bench, but I'll wait until I get a belt for squats. Once I hit 100 and over, I don't feel right not having a belt.
Drinking a cup of coffee before eating curbs appetite too.
This is true!
No worry, I will bring mine with me for our next workout. 
I have got one for a 40" plus waist if that helps.

Ah, how very helpful of both of you

. But, I guess I'll still need to get my own

. It will be my very first belt that is actually mine! I don't know, it seems exciting as though I'm getting a new pet or something ... awwwww ... cute belty belt

Well, yesterday I went for what could be considered a little bit of a hike, and I am quite surprised to find out how different it feels to be walking up the hills right now. I'm not in great shape yet, but I'm definitely stronger and especially to be doing squats again makes such a noticeable difference when I'm walking uphill! It's like I just have more power and my body is working much more for me than against me. I like that feeling

This morning I did what has been my same weight amounts for the last week, but I upped my situps now to a total of 100 -- which I split between 4 sets of 25. I also did my whole workout in my church dress and nylons ... hee hee ... and my very last set of leg curls and bench press I was even wearing heels ... double-hee hee. That was strangely fun and, aside from the heels (I was wearing tennies the rest of the time), the dress was remarkable comfortable to workout in
