    Amazing! I am so glad to have read this, I have recently started liftting weights but haven't seen a difference on the scale. I was starting to feel discouraged....read this and now I am reminded that those numbers aren't what matter!

    As a side note....it is awesome that you have been a surrogate 4 times. How wonderful to know the amazing impact you have had on others lives.

    Awesome and encouraging to a new heavy lifter here! You look fantastic--congrats!!

    I'm following the Starting Strength program. I'm 5' and eating 1800-2100 calories per day. Increasing my calories was quite a leap of faith for me! I'm 2 months into strength training and 1 month into SS...can't wait to see what 6 months brings!

    Way to go! Great dedication and determination. Even though the weight loss on NROL4W has been small, your pictures from one month, to another, to another speak volumes for the program and your hard work. I'm in Stage one of NROL4W and so far, I'm loving it. My upper body strength is weak and needs much improvement. I'm excited to see the difference in my body in six months time. Thanks for sharing your story and pictures!

    I needed to come across this thread. I needed to see your body transform the way it did with 0 weightloss. I would'nt believe it if you didn't tell me.

    WOW! This is soooooooooooo motivating!

    And you know what - those lines on your stomach - those are your badge of honour for being a amazing mom - if someone ever offered me a smooth tummy in exchange for the opportunity to be mom to my son I would just say "no deal"!!

    I couldn't agree more! Wear those stretch marks as a badge of honor and courage! Funny thing is, I have them on my stomach from my pregnancies and they don't bother me, but the one's that I have on my hips/thighs/boobs from puberty, THOSE I hate. I am now encouraged to get that book and start doing that work out. I have ALWAYS enjoyed strength training. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Mind if I friend you to ask you questions?

    Felicitations! I had pre-eclampsia with my twins, and it leaves you feeling like you've been hit by a truck! Thanks for inspiring me!
