in Chit-Chat
People kept saying if I lifted heavy I'd get all manish and butch. But I've been lifting heavier and heavier weight for about a month and instead of getting mannish and bulky, I'm not!! I used to be a tight size 10 today my size 6's had some space in the thigh and waist area. There's so much less bulk on my stomach after all this work! And I don't think I look mannish at all because my husband keeps grabbing me and telling me I'm hot.


what am I doing wrong!!

    So I can wrap my 12s and 15s with pink tape and they'll be okay? Or do I need a special paint?

    Ok tae bo and 30ds with spray painted pink dumbbells and I have legs like tree trunks in a week. Anything else for woman to get the results from her body? Not just tone muscles but bulky and mannish? What more do I do?

    You really need to get serious. You need to start going to the pub on Friday nights and join the drinking games. Push yourself to the point of being sick. Effort in = effort out. You know you can do it. Muscle shirts will also help, tuck a tampon box in the sleeve to emulate a cigarette pack.
