Seeing muscle question

faithnna

So I've been doing SL5x5 since the beginning of April & I love it. I'm seeing inches slowly fall off and can feel how much stronger I am which is amazing. A little background info: I'm 5'4 & 130 lbs, eating about 1600 calories day on non-lift days w/ lots of protein, and my diary is open.

My question is, at what point did you ladies physically start seeing definition in your arms, abs, and back? I know it's happening underneath all my squish, but I'm excited to start actually seeing my muscle and see my fat start to disappear.

I still have plenty of 'squish,' but I started seeing pretty awesome muscles in my arms and legs (and even my abs, although they are covered with a couple inches of squish, lol) about 2.5-3 months in to lifting. I imagine it's a little different for everyone.
