Female bodybuilder

I am 58 and have always wanted to be a female bodybuilder, so I'm in the process of losing weight because I'd really like to achieve this goal, I've seen some older lady's and love the way they look, so lol looking for any help at all on how to get started

I'm pretty much doing the same and have been making decent strides after a year of lifting and two of losing weight..............good luck..........I'm 65 btw. Still trying to lose the last 7 or 8 pounds but doing it very slowly for now.

To get started..........don't wait until you've lost the weight.....begin lifting progressively heavy now. Strong Lifts, Strong Curves or New Rules of Lifting for Women are all good places to start. If you can afford it you might want to get a trainer, one who agrees with, and can help you reach your goals.

Check out the woman in this link.......she's 77 now and didn't start lifting until 71 or even exercising until her 50's.
