OK So I never took many "befores" and I haven't finished cutting yet so its not exactly what I want but here's what I have
The one on the left - 137lbs - about 2 months after returning to lifting and the start of MFP
The one on the right - 145lbs - 1 year, 9 months of lifting
Stomach (not relaxed on either) 134lbs on the left, 145lbs on the right. I can see I'm bigger because of how loose the shorts are, but I feel it's a better pic on the right.
Back (slightly different position on the first one, but best I could do at the time)
134lbs on the left. 150lbs (after bulk) in the middle, and 145lbs on the right.
Legs (this is the one I'm most happy with) I can tell I'm bigger as the shorts are tighter but my upper legs have more muscle on them and firmer/more toned.
134lbs on the left. 145lbs on the right.0 -

gotcha, somewhere in there someone(s) accused that picture of being fake, photoshopped...
Funny, the last thing I thought about when I saw those pictures was checking out the pixels! :huh: :noway:0 -
Bumping this awesomeness again. Every pooper in this thread is definitely worthy.0

Ok so I need to take new progress pics but these are the results I saw in about a month and a half - after I finished Stage 1 of New Rules of Lifting for Women... keep in mind I only lost 1.5 pounds.
I have recently finished Stage 2 and am interested in comparing the difference!0 -

Just checked your profile pictures and I am curious if that tongue is photoshopped?0 -
I just so went and bought " The new rules of lifting for women" for my kindle app...
Guess I better start tonight with my before picture!
I just hate going over to the "mens" side of the gym where all the weight lifters are grunting and bumping.. I always feel so out of place and feel like everyone is looking at meOh well...

you can DO this!!0 -
Before:
After shedding 120-ish pounds doing mostly cardio with some strength training but not a whole lot:
After focusing primarily on strength training for about 3 months:
I do strength training about 3x/week and eat about 2300 calories/day and about 180 g protein on average.
Truly... without a doubt...INSPIRING!!!
Brings joy to see things like this! You are incredible!!!0 -
awesome job ladies..a definite for later.0
-
Can I ask how long it took you ladies to start seeing results?
My problem is just finding time. I go to the gym 3-5 times a week but that only to slide about 30-60minutes of cardio in. I dont have much more time than that!0 -
Mine are the greatest but I did 2 months of the LiveFit workout from Jamie Eason on Bodybuilding.com
Here is where I see the biggest difference:

Here is the progression:

I may not have pushed as hard as I could have since it was the first time lifting weights in 15 years but I plan on doing more lifting and making sure I push myself harder
I think you look great. You can definitely see the toning and that's only in 2 months. Keep up the great work!0
