Holy crap. I definitely know the benefits for lifting but your transformation, with only 10 lbs lost, is one of the best I've seen. Hands down.

Wow, thank you! I will spout the benefits of lifting to anyone who will listen! Plus it makes me feel like a badass and I can basically eat at maintenance and still see great results.

Good job. How much do you squat?

Have been struggling with squats. Working weight is anywhere from 125-165 depending on sets/reps. 1RM was around 190 last time I checked.

Not bad. There is not a single woman in my gym that squats that much.

There is one woman at my gym who squats more than I do--hopefully I will catch up with her at some point. She is also a tiny thing so she's super impressive.
