Proof Lifting heavy doesn't bulk up females - PICS

I'm skrry that a lot of people can't appreciate the hard work that you've put into this. It's an amazing change, and I would love to look like you. You look amazing in both, but I absolutely love your afters. Just ignore those who are being rude.

It isn't rude to worry about someone's health.

She doesn't look unhealthy. I think people who see this as unhealthy are taking in the contrast to much of a tan pic against an un-tan pic of herself. I'm that pale if I don't tan, alot of people are. And to one person who stated anorexic looking, she is by far from looking anorexic. There are no bones that are protruding that shouldn't be, she is skinner then the before picture but not to an unhealthy point.

Normally below maintenance. between 1500-1900. But not a massive deflict. Now that I've cut down on carbs and upped protein and fat I just eat if I'm hungry, I don't look at calories anymore. But I'm not as hungry as I use to be on my "low fat" diet.
In 2 weeks I'm going to cut right down on carbs and hopefully that will remove more fat and show some muscle.
I think you need to eat properly to grow and develop muscle, then cut down and remove the fat. you can't do both.

I think your results are amazing and motivational. I just hope that you're still eating enough to stay healthy. Being "not as hungry" can easily lead to undereating, so just be careful with that.

Me too....almost looks anorexic

Anorexia is a DISEASE not a SIZE
Someone can be a size 30, and still be anorexic.
Keep your ignorance to yourself please.

Please dont take this the wrong way, but i think you looked better before, more womanly. However i applaud your hard work :-)

Agreed. I think now you look too thin and ALMOST sickly. Before, you were nearly perfect, in my honest opinion.
However, I also applaud your hard work, and at the end of the day it comes down to how YOU see yourself and how YOU feel about yourself. So long as you're happy and healthy, nothing else matters.

I agree but then that is just my opinion I applaud your efforts to get to your goals

Wow people are nasty!!!! You look great and with a few bulk cycle you could be a fitness model. I enjoy lifting heavy very much also.

I am very far from being anorexic. if anorexics eat 3 cheesecakes for desert like I did last night, they have fun!

Nice Have you considered eating at a surplus instead? I have been lifting weights and eating either around maintenance or up to 300ish calories over it and I'm still maintaining the same weight... have been for a couple of months.

She put her picture on here for peoples honest opinion and she is getting it.
I don't believe that anyone is trying to hurt her feelings in any way. They are just telling her what they think.
I don't think anything that has been said has been nasty or mean in any way.

I thought you looked great before!! I applaud your hard work and dedication. It comes down to what you want to look like.
And how you feel.

Exactly. If you put your pictures on a public web site, you need to be prepared for all responses.

I also think you looked better in your before pictures, but I like a few more curves. I would also love to have your before body!

Alioops831

I gotta say that I would love to look like you in your before pic! What a great body!

Her point was that lifting heavy doesnt make you bullky.

I actually agree, you do look better before, with more curves. No need to lose any fat there you looked amazing!

It is unreal to me...some of these comments. It seems like there is never a "right" before and after, you're either too fat, or too thin, eating too much fat, not eating enough fat, etc. And seriously people, stop hiding behind the words "we're just worried about your health". I seriously doubt that. I could be wrong, I am wrong an awful lot..but I suspect that telling this girl that she looks sickly/anorexic/too thin is just as harmful to her self esteem as telling me I am a super fatty is to me. One wrong word to someone can put them off their path in a matter of minutes.

If you're pissed off at me right now, look inside, because you know that you have had someone react overly negative to something you were excited about, and you know it sucked balls. Of course, everyone has a right to their own opinion, but if it is SO negative, why say that to her on an open forum? Gentle questioning is much different than out and out painful comments. If you TRULY are concerned about her health, why not message her? I just don't understand, and it makes me really, really sad.

In my opinion, you look like you put in some really GREAT work, and if you are happy with yourself, that really is ALL that matters.

No need to bash me, I won't be coming back to this post. I think I've lost enough faith in humanity and basic compassion for one day.

I agree

Oops I feel bad now, but guess people are like me & prefer honesty. The "black" photos, you look curvy, womanly & may I say downright sexy. In the "whites" you look too thin, jmo.

It isn't what is aesthetically pleasing to others though, so great job on the life changes & going after your goals. Well Done

Russ

Agree with this! You look smokin hot in the black Photos!!!!! :happy:

SoViLicious

You look womanly, feminine, or whatever it is in both photos. But your b4 picture is my goal! great work, I was thinking this morning durring my walk that I need to start lifting.

Jacwhite22

I think the original point of the thread is proven.....lifting won't make you bulky.....i think with a few bulk cycles you would look great.....by stripping away the fat you do look pretty small.....far from anorexic though. IMHO keep it up....don't be afraid to eat at a slight surplus and gain some muscle mass though. I think you would be happy with the results.
