Before & After: Weight Lifting Edition

kenzienal

Show us your Before Weight Lifting, and After Weight Lifting progression pictures!

I hope to begin lifting within the week, and the progression pictures I've seen scattered on the forum are extremely motivating!

It is VERY inspiring to see all the changes and results from everyone, and I hope that one day I have progression pictures to add to this thread!


But for now, share with us your before & afters, and tell us how you got there!

I just starting lifting as well so I am interested in seeing some before and after too. I am looking forward to the day where I will have my own to share.

74 pages of sifting through was a little intimidating lol.

Wow - Lipsmahoney, very impressed with the weight loss and your small waist. You demonstrate well that body building during weight loss is the way to go.

Better one for the muscle definition I gained in the last 8 months of this crazy ride I am on.

I have been doing fasted cardio every morning at 4 am for an hour full incline "dreadmill", an hour daily of weight lifting (machines. dumb bells and body weight) and three days a week a bootcamp. My meals are very rigid, timed and the food combos are set.
Definitely a formula and process that I had much help figuring out and made it part of my life like breathing. At age 47, a wife, a mom of two young kids with a full time job I can tell you that anything is possible if you want it bad enough.

I recently posted these in another thread. Mine's not a weight loss, but muscle gained. I've been doing crossfit for 3 years, which I know isn't traditional "weightlifting" but sure involves a lot of lifting of weights.

"Skinny fat" on the right from a few years ago before I started.


And two that show the size I've gained in the last 3 years.

You, ladies and gentlemen, ROCK! I am trying to build up a little more strength with bodyweight exercises because I am so out of shape- but I hope as I progress I will be able to try new types of strength training.

Congratulations- you all are amazing inspiration!

First pic is from December 2012, I weighed around 130. Second and third photos are from summer of 2015 and the third pic is last summer. I weighed 110 in the 3 "after" pics. I've been maintaining since early 2015 (I've been as low as 106 and as high as 113 during that time). Still working on better definition in my arms, abs and buns, but I'm such a huge advocate for lifting. It transformed my body so dramatically. Yes, it took awhile, but I love it! And as they say, the time will pass anyway

I lift 4-5 days a week and the only cardio I do is a 10 min warm-up jog on the treadmill.

Two years difference & a stone lighter lifting most days, with 5 mins cardio just as warm up. Love the results

First pic was 1.5 years ago at 49. Didn't eat that well and smoked a lot. Next pic was 6 months after I started lifting. Bulked up with mostly good choice foods and hypertrophy type lifting following a push/pull. Last 2 pics are last week. Cleaned up my diet Jan 1. Pretty much no sugar or white bread. Cut 100 below maintenance cals April 1 and started HIT 3 times a week. Besides lifting I think the most help has been from giving sugar and bread the boot.
