Thanks! I have to also say I have FOUR kids... So for everyone worried that you will never be able to get your body back without surgery, you can with hard work and dedication.0

I am 6 weeks into a bulk. Gained 15lbs. A lot of it seems to be muscle. I don't follow I program, I just lift stuff at home (no gym membership, I have dumbbells and that's all) and I eat a lot of clean healthy food.
93lbs
108lbs

Just ordered NROL4W. Thank you! :bigsmile:0

So impressed with all of you real MFP women. I was unimpressed with my results with the live fit trainer. Started Starting Strength and eating more, hoping to see some results:)0

Thought it would be cool to put together a little timeline showing when things started changing for me.
I started lifting in July. I'm still amazed at how quickly my back and shoulders changed. The butt was the last thing to change.
There's really not much difference from the front. No wonder I don't really see change in the mirror, since I typically only see the front of me in the mirror! But it is only 5 pounds difference, so I really shouldn't expect much.
(Edit: Yes, I shaved my pits! It's the curse of having such dark hair... I look like I have a 5 o'clock shadow!)
Would you mind sharing your weight lifting and diet? Thank you.
I bought Body for LIfe (found it at the Goodwill for 50 cents :happy: ) I really want to buy New rules....0 -
Here are some 'before and during' of me, I was morbidly obese person when I started out lifting:
Before: 125kgs
Current: 102.5kgs (ish)... I had a gain this week, but I'm sure it's water weight from a really heavy lifting session I had DOMS SO bad.
Both of these photos where taken this weekend.0 -
'Photoshopped!' comments infuriate me no end. Will be following this ^^0

I promised I'd post some pictures way earlier in this thread. This is me, lifting for quite a few solid years with a few years taken off to have babies. Been at this since I was 13 and am now 29. Still progressing every year, working towards a no photoshop required type results, might be dead by then.

Amazing stomach -- is that after the babies? Because if it is I'm going to be really jealous!0 -

Damnnnnnn Ebby Looking amazing as always.
Your shoulders really stand out and have a really nice shape to them. Legs are awesome too. Now I'm going to keep asking you when your going to do a figure competition.... because you would rock it.0 -

Yes post babies, still working on it, water retention in that area can be a real bugger. I owe my stomach getting firmer more defined to lots of heavy compound lifts like deads, front squats with good form and core control during movements and do very little ab work because it's actually worse for my diastasis recti (where there is muscle separation that makes the ab muscles separate during certain movements). But compound lifts helped hugely!
As for a figure competition perhaps... it's on my to do but not set up there very high right now. LOL.0 -

*sigh* Jealous.
You look AMAZING.
I'm lifting heavy, but I've had a month off due to knee surgery. I haven't been able to do squats because of my knee since Oct. last year.
I started back to upper body strength training last week, and I've been SO sore!0 -
Full body shot:
Traps/Delts
Flex
(need new pics heh)
Before
Routine is nothing special, I came up with my own to prepare for the Army ROTC
Just Strong Lifts really with added in stuff xD
Everyone looks fabulous - well done ladies - all very inspiring. I just wish all the folks who say they don't want to bulk up could see these photos - all I see is a wonderfully toned woman - no 'many muscles' .0 -

Do what you can as much as you can. I gained 75+lbs with my first pregnancy (150lbs to start before baby) then lost it in 3.5 months to find out preggers again! LOL, Gained 45 lbs that time. Goal setting, determination, dedication, some tolerance to pain and it all happens. 3.5 years old my youngest is and it's only in the last year my body has really started to change, I eat more now, train harder than I ever imagined I would and still astonish myself with my own progress. Keep rocking it, your getting there!!
Edited to say thank you for the compliment. You know what's awesome, one day you'll be in the body you want to be and someone will be looking at your progress saying the same thing. Your amazing, trust the process and believe.0 -
Thank you, you are an inspiration.0
