Since people are saying black thong chick is photoshopped and we don't know her routine, lets post some of our own pictures and stores.

*I would also encourage people to understand that these are pictures of REAL MFP women. Lets refrain from comments like "She looks like a man." or "I don't want manly muscles". I understand that not all women like the muscular look and that's okay, and it's okay to express that opinion, but lets not be insulting.

    If someone could tell me how to post pics side by side, I would be happy to post my in progress pics, showing what weightlifting has done in just six weeks or so. But I'm technologically challenged on photo posting.

    Alright, I'll go:

    Routine:
    I stared with New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women, Stage 1.
    In Jan I switched to more of a body building routine, upper/lower body splits, compound movements followed by isolation moves. 3x8.
    After these pictures were taken I switched to Strong Lifts 5x5 which I really like and recommend.
    I'd do 20-30 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardio 2 to 3 times a week.

    Diet:
    During the time between these pictures I actually ate above my TDEE, between 2800-3500 calories. At least one gram protein per pound of lean body mass, so 125g (but with that many calories it's not hard to go way over that). At least 0.3 gram fat per pound of total body mass, so about 50g.

    Do you have a photobucket account? You can make collages in there. Then when you copy and paste the images you have to change the IMG to lower case.

    Bumping this to see more pictures. I recently started a heavy weight routine and don't have any pics to post but I LOVE to see women that have transformed themselves with weights and have a sculpted physique. That's what I'm aiming for!!!!

    BUMP..

    If I can find some decent pics I'll post. I don't have any "befores" as I started lifting way before MFP and I'm not really where I want to be yet (1/3rd of the way through cutting) but if I can find some that show progress I will :)
