    UK Granny lifter been lifting as heavy as I can manage since June [ Please excuse the back flab ...its very resistant ] I am 63 yo , 5 feet 1 inch and 115 lbs [ 8 stone 3 lbs ]

    Every single one of you ladies is a huge inspiration!! Bumping for inspiration when I need it!! I've recently added weights to my cardio, doing T25 as my main focus and body beast as my secondary 3-4 times per week. I'm not far in, but already excited to turn the tables and do a round focusing on body beast!!

    Right now I am in the middle of a year long commitment to a place where we do bootcamp type classes and I love it. I want to start lifting at home because I don't want to join another gym. All you at home lifters what is the basic equipment you recommend to get started?

    I've just read this entire thread and I love it! I love that more and more ladies are lifting and looking amazing!

    I've just returned to lifting after taking time out to have my baby boy.

    Oh and to Helen - AKA UK Granny Lifter - You are incredible! What an amazing woman you are and you look phenomenal. My mum is the same age and I wish she would get off her bloody walking treadmill and lift some iron! xx

    Cardio 20-30 mins a week. (If that. I hate cardio.)
    4 days Wendler's 5/3/1.
    Competed in my first PL meet and placed first in my weight class for DL this year.

    Here's my progress (-65)

    To the above lovely ladies ^ WOW, nice work! That is what I like to see- disproving stereotypes about lifting and what it makes (or means) you look like! Congratulations on all your progress and hardwork, you inspire me.

    Annnnd here's one more of me for this thread, updated as of yesterday. Lifting since May of this year = actually seeing results for me (and getting to eat more, yay!) First two pics are late 2011, before I discovered MFP and dropped ~30lbs. Haven't gained any (yet) from lifting...

    Loving this thread! I've been lifting heavy for about a month and I'm feeling the progress I've been making. Haven't really seen many physical changes yet but I'll find out next Friday when I do measurements how I've been doing. I can hardly wait to post my progress pix here too!
