Why should I lift weights? Pics

Options
This is why! When you picture yourself you your goal weight, what do you look like? I picture myself tone and lean. Lifting is what gets you that look! Huge calorie deficit and strictly cardio and I would have lost more muscle and stayed "skinny fat" Here is a little update on my muscles! I lift HEAVY and I am not bulky.

Don't wait to "tone"!! Start now and look better at your goal weight :]

134 lbs:

123 lbs:

only 10 pound difference. Scale weight is not important! What is important is that it looks like i lost more and couldn't be happier!

Don't wait to lift... do it as soon as possible! :D

ETA: Okay colombian here it is: xD

for an added note:Don't be afraid of free weights! They are your friend. Compound lifts rock :]
Get those squats and deadlifts in! You will have amazing results. I promise you :]

    Sunshine you are a total rockstar and I love when you post this stuff. But there's something very wrong with you - you should look like Mr. Universe by now with all that heavy lifting. LMAO Seriously, completely awesome. Love that you bust that myth every time you post a pic. :-)

    I love lifting, I just started within the last month, but honestly I think it's hugely underrated among women. You physically cannot "bulk" up without hormone therapy and muscle burns fat even while resting! I'm doing strength training 4-5 days a week, 3-4 sets of heavier (than what I'm used to) weights at 10-12 reps. I'm allready seeing results in my back and biceps/triceps.Do it!

    WoW! You're amazing! And, you've decided me. I am going to join a gym and get a trainer to show me how I can start lifting.
