Lifting for sure! I'm the same weight in all of the pics. I started lifting more/doing less cardio right around the time of the last pic. I need to update again soon!

I wouldn't call what I am doing "heavy", but I have great results.
Also...be careful about your diet!

wow i could only wish to look that awesome!

I have been lifting for just over 3 months now doing CLX ( chalean extreme) and i was expecting better results then i have had so far. I really don't have much for results. I am stronger but you can't see it on me The only noticeable difference in my day 1 pic to today's is a bit more in the obliques. that's it! I was sure hoping for way more changes then i have received so far

I read this recently and it came to mind:

“It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing, 8 weeks for your friends to notice, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it 12 weeks. Don’t QUIT!”

Stay positive! Over time, things will start to come together and you will be fierce!

Jesus. 12 weeks. I think it's been about 4 now, dealing with body weight training while I was on vacation last week. I get to back to the normal gym now that I'm back. I guess I'll see something new when I start college in August.

There are no magic pills. Still, lifting heavy will work more effectively than other methods, eating at a small deficit.

I eat a little below my TDEE and a bit higher than my BMR. Should I do cardio, too? I don't really prefer it..I like to swim and bike, which is fine to do, but other than that, not so much.

I'm gonna say I'm at 45% body fat (not completely sure) and I want to get to 18% ultimately. On average (I know everyone is different), how long would that take? Can you lose body fat consistently per month, like 2-5%?

I've been lifting for about three months. I told my trainer I wanted arms like his, but smaller...lol. Here is a link to a photo I took last week...

Some cardio will help with losing body fat but it doesn't have to be a lot. 15 minutes HIIT training after lifting and a brisk walk 20-30 minutes on non-lifting days.

I can't walk too fast due to a sprained ankle, but is it okay if I bike for HIIT and off days?

I'm actually about 4 pounds heavier in the last picture than the first. This is about 10 months of lifting altogether, NROL4W then NROL Supercharged.

I'm a natural brunette (ash brown) and I have been hilighting my hair for Life it seems. Your pic of the dark brown hair has inspired me, I think I'm going to go to a similar color. Oh and the transformation is a given inspiration.

In progress, looking to build more lean mass and drop body fat.

Take photos. It's the only way I see any progress at all.

I'm currently a little heavier and shedding a few extra pounds I picked up over the winter and spring, but here's what I looked like before any lifting, after weight machines for a year, and after 4 months of using free weights.







And here's after 2 years of lifting and gaining 13 pounds. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1020429-gained-13-pounds-since-lifting-scary-not-really

Sure, biking is great for HIIT.

3.5 weeks of lifting 3x/week with very little cardio (and the fun kind - sports, dance games on the xbox).

The lifting actually "lifted" my entire stomach.
