These are taken three years apart (I've been other weights in between), but I weigh EXACTLY the same in both of these pics. The second was taken about a week ago, after just over a year of heavy lifting

You weigh exactly the same, but look so much slimmer..........Fab work!!

WOW AMAZING !!!!!!!!!! I do lifting as well as regular cardio and abs etc ! but you just made me that much more comfortable with it
I purchased a 45 lb complete adjustable dumbell set and So far I started using 5 lbs now I am at 10

You can do a fair amount of New Rules of Lifting for Women at home. Just buy 2nd hand equipment and make sure you book yourself a time in your day for your workout - don't try to fit it in, fit other stuff around it - it's worth it!

This is very good advice.

I miss Lea too

Me too. I bought a Batman shirt in her honor.

We weren't MFP buddies, but I always found her posts so inspiring. I shall don my Batman shirt later. Where'd she go?


ETA: All of the pictures that have been added since I posted yesterday are so awesome. Those of you who have posted pictures before are the reason I want to start NROLFW. Tomorrow is the day! Except the barbell I got from Walmart is defective. Any recommendations for a brand that won't make me poor? Anyway, thank you all for being so inspiring! Hopefully you won't mind, but I showed my husband some of these photos and told him this is why I want to start lifting for real! :drinker:

I started lifting in April 2013 and am proud of my results so far. Excited to see what I can accomplish over the next few months.

I bought my weight set at Sports Authority but you can also check out craigslist for used equipment at a cheaper price.

Been lifting since Oct. '12. Didn't set out to lose weight but have lost about 10 pounds and a bunch of inches in the process. There aren't a ton of pictures of me (hubs forgets to grab the camera) so these are the best I could do non-flexed. Some flexed ones are in my profile.
