    Holly, let me just say, YOU are the reason I want to lift weights. It's silly, but true.
    I used to be scared of lifting, but after having you around, I'm just like I WANT this girl's body.

    Got a question for the women (and men) that have muscles. I've tried to get the muscled look, and I surprised a trainer one time with how strong I am, but I couldn't get the cut look. Even as light as I was. I'm 5'5". Like I said, strong as heck, but no defention.
    How do you get that?

    Diet sadly. Eat at a calorie deficit, lift, protein.

    At the time I was on a higher protein diet. I was also running 4 miles about 2-3 times a week. I aways jokingly said its because I'm ghost white. I say I'm transparency girl.:laugh:

    There's some things I want to say but I don't want all the full on 'CARDIO RAWR!!!!' Lindas to come out of the woodwork lol.

    But what I can say, is that your diet needed to be a lot more controlled than just higher protein. For a woman, getting to very low bodyfat percentages (meaning below 15%) isn't just a challenge, it's Mount Everest. I would bet the majority of women posting that lift heavy are in the 15%-25% range. Women simply have more bodyfat than men, and are designed to hold onto it.
    Low carbs, high protein and lots of veggies. (and only GOOD carbs):smile:

    I'm a work in progress!
    I am learning to love my muscles. It is hard to find jeans that fit over my calves and thighs that still fit my waste :/ Uneducated people mistake the muscles for fat and that can hurt when you are called names.
    Suffered that for years. Now people are afraid of me! LOL! (Because I might sit on them, but soon it will be because of muscles again!)

    Working on it ....currently don't use weights other than the 5 lb weights in Jillian michael's workouts. I do feel like I'm making progress so I guess that will do for now!
