    Muscle shaming. I see. That sounds really rough. My heart goes out to all the victims.

    Sarcasm, I love sarcasm! These posts are amazing. You girls rock!

    I had planned to just ignore him...sometimes he'll go away if you do that. lol Sometimes...

    This is my "baby muscle" - or my "funny flex" picture that started it all. I put it up as my profile picture and people acted all impressed...I thought it was just silly. But that was my first "aha, I can do this..." moment

    I cannot wait for my arms to lean out like that. My legs have leaned out more quickly than arms/delts. It's a bit backward as most ladies lean out in those areas before legs.

    First you need to host the picture on any number of the free picture hosting sites. Google them.

    Then you can insert a picture by the URL with the camera icon above the reply box.

    To attach files: In my browser, when I'm replying, I hit the little icon that looks like a paper with a folded corner. Then the "choose files" button comes up and I choose the file. Sorry, I'm not very good at tech support.

    My mom has asked me to stop building muscles cause she thinks I'm to manly.
    I think I'm just strong and in need of a cut soon.

    You're amazing and don't need to "cut"...and you don't look manly. Ugh, people. I'm not sure why they say stuff like that. It honestly looks like you did a very lean muscle gain / recomp. Great job!

    Small gains, but they are gains.

    @Chef_Barbell I thought you had had the baby without doing a mega announcement. I hope when the baby is born you will let us know and post pics.

    Cheers, h.

    When did you start ? You inspire me.

    @amfmmama, wow, thank you :)

    I started AllPro last November, ran it for 4 cycles (21weeks) then went on vacation and took a break for the summer doing Nerdfitness bodywork x2 a week. I have been back at it since the beginning of August. I had to start back lower than I ended for the first cycle, and I have just deload again for the 2nd cycle because I have switched to a bar from hand weights and machines. It was expected.

    You can get much better/quicker results than mine as I am small, light and didn't start until I was over 60.

    Cheers, h.

    I am not quite as muscled as some of the amazing ladies here, and it is a crappy flex, but this is how I look after 1 year of MFP :)

    Wow!
