    I always thought it was a very mean trick on Mother Nature's part that my boobs didn't grow when I gained weight. But now that I've lost weight without shrinkage or droopage, I'm not minding it too much. Oh, darn. My boobs look like a 16 year old's. Not going to cry myself to sleep over that!

    What I love most about heavy lifting is that it takes a lot less time and effort - and less pounds lost - to get results.

    I used 5# dumbbells and body weight exercises from January to July of last year, and during that time, lost about 25 pounds. I started lifting heavy in July and weigh about the same as I did then, but everything is so much tighter, I look like I lost more than I did.

    It would appear that lifting has given you amazing *kitten*-ets.

    oh no.. you aren't going to get bulky even if you lift heavy. I've been lifting for over a year now and people would never refer to me as muscular, bulky, etc. I get called skinny and in shape. You get toned from lifting "heavy" weights. You should struggle when you are lifting. It shouldn't be like, "oh hey, I'm going to curl 5 pound weights! yay!"
