    Ok, finally! Other women doing stronglifts!!
    Any suggestions? I lost over 15 lbs but gained like ten back?!? I am freaking out!
    HELP

    This was me. I'd lost 16lbs when I started Stronglifts - I gained 8 of them back. It's taken me 3 months to lose them again.

    There are times when I've stood on the scale and felt like giving up. But I haven't - because progress pictures. Seriously if you haven't taken pictures of yourself already do it now.

    I took my 3 months progress pictures last week. I weighed the same on that day as I did the first day I set foot in the gym, picked up something heavy and squatted with it. But my body looks totally different. The scales only tell a little bit if the story - pictures and measurements add a lot more.

    Weight loss and weight lifting are two different things.

    Review your intake.
