    Many females would benefit from this thread who are afraid of lifting weights because of "bulking up". As we can see, it doesn't happen.

    Yes, which is why I have accepted nearly all friend requests that came with messages attached. :flowerforyou: *gulp* (I am slightly overwhelmed by this and don't wanna forget about my OG's who've been there for me this whole time, LOL). If there is ANYTHING I want people to get from my story is that 1. this isn't a race, 2. you don't have to eat perfect all the time, and 3. lifting things up and putting them down is not scary and will not make you look scary. :) Crap - I WISH my back looked like that ALL DAY LONG (I'd scare my kids into doing their chores more easily, muahahah)...but sadly, that is only when it is flexed. :ohwell:

    Thank you ALL so very, very much for your awesome, encouraging, uplifting comments. I am feeling a million times better just knowing that I'll be able to help encourage tons of other ladies (and the few men who FR'd me) in their quest for better health now!! And I can't wait until I've cut down a bunch more body fat and can show off some other muscles that are currently in the process of being "rounded out" and built up! :bigsmile:

    You look amazing...I have lost 55lbs so far and I feel like I still look the same. Did you ever have that issue? Keep up the good work! You motivate us all!

    You deserve every one of those comments you got! Incredible work!

    Are you doing mostly cardio? Or do you lift heavy weight?

    When you have a substantial amount to lose, even the middle ground can be disheartening...but believe me...when you get to a place where you finally see it, it's amazing.

    I think you're gorgeous! And I really appreciate the slow and steady (and very healthy!) approach, I've been frustrated with my slow loss and I think your story is maybe what I needed to hear.

    1) You are an inspiration! You're gorgeous!
    2) I would not say you have "manly" muscles!
    3) I LOVE your bedroom with the pink walls and black/white bed set. :)

    You look fabulous.
    Your stats are close to mine, but my starting weight was at 199.
    I too, am 5'4" and my weight is coming off so slowly. I am so frustrated!
    My goal weight and look is exactly were you are at right now.
