    That has settled it, I'm getting back in to lifting after my exams. I have the same body shape as many of the before pics which just confirms I can get this if I push hard.

    Thanks for the thread

    I love these pictures! Threads like this one make me so anxious to get a gym membership. I can't afford it right now because I'm saving money for an International Teaching Placement, but when I get back I think that will be my first purchase. I've been using dumbbells at home, but squats and dead-lifts are starting to get easy. I haven't used a barbell since my grade 11 fitness class, but I'm dying to try it now.

    Lifting for women is getting more and more press now, and its all good

    I've noticed even the glossy mags are advocating it, alongside their stupid celeb body bashing and crap they cover..... anyway

    These pics are fab, I have noticed the difference since using weights and plan to carry on forever!

    I don't get the whole women with muscles thing.. sorry, it turns me right off :-/ Shapely is lovely but muscles are just not womanly. That tight round butt i would kill for, but can you get that without the rest following?

    :huh:

    I am starting to get into weights so I am not 'anti' - but I have to say, I actually prefer the 'before' on one or two of those pictures. But you know, each to their own, i'll know when to stop.

    I want to add mine, too. OMG... look how big and gigantic and bulky my arms got from all that strength training!

    Started strength training in July. I continued to lose weight until October when I got to 125.5 and went on maintenance, then gained a couple pounds over the winter.
