    There are more than 5,000 members of the StrongLifts 5x5 for Women group on here. I don't know how to provide a link to the group, though, sorry!

    Been doing it about a year. Good strength gains and definite improvement, especially in my shoulders and back. My arms, stomach and butt still have a bit too much flab to see definition, but I know the muscles are there. I can feel them. My advice.....get many fractional plates (available on Amazon) they will come in handy.

    I started a couple of months ago and was perhaps taking the program too literally. I sustained a minor injury, probably from increasing weight too fast. So now I'm back at the beginning and going slow.
    So my advice is to listen to your body and don't get too caught up in your numbers. If you join the aforementioned group, you will learn lots of good tips, some specific for women, that I wish I had been aware of! Good luck!
    As for results, there are at least a few threads around if you search! Probably some in the group, too.
