Urgh. I've never posted these anywhere before so I'm a little nervous about it. :embarassed: My results are definitely not as impressive as others (I still have to lose 20 lbs just to get out of the 'overweight' category), but I keep on keepin' on and I am definitely progressing. I've been lifting seriously since about August. So here are some before/durings.



Here's the difference from when I started in March of last year to now. I actually started at 234 lbs but didn't take pics right away so my first pics are at 227. My highest weight was 245.



And squats/deadlifts/lunges have definitely improved my butt and legs.

Amazing!! well done you!!

Alright - finally had time to throw some pics together.
I was 220 lbs two years ago and well over 40% bodyfat. I started MFP in July/August 2011 at 187 lbs and 36+% bodyfat. I started lifting in March this year doing NROL4W, abandoned ship the end of July for Starting Strength, and just recently in the past four weeks started a mix of crossfit style workouts with powerlifting.

Today I'm around 150-155, 5'5" and about 24% bodyfat (as far as I can tell). My diet is NOT in check, however, and for this reason my progress hasn't been as good as it COULD be...but nonetheless, I think the lifting has done amazing things for the recomposition of my body. Jen Dizzle version 2.0 starts tomorrow. Taking these pictures today and my slower progress this year are waking me up...I need to get off the sugar train. I'm badddddd with candy *guilty look*.

Start of MFP:


and an assortment of "in progress" pictures from the past three or four months:





...annnnnd...these pictures are from this afternoon - yesterday was my birthday and I ate *all* the food. It's evident in my bloat too. Oh well, needed before pics for Jen Dizzle 2.0. And I really hate showing my tummeh and baby battle wounds. But if it will inspire anyone to start lifting heavy *kitten* - then I'm all in!

WOW! Look at you!! Well done, would never of guessed you ate all the food lol your words!! You look fab!!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. :ohwell: Every single body in this thread deserves recognition. The physical challenge is hard, yes, but sometimes that mental challenge is even tougher. Doing that workout even when you feel weak. Fighting for that last rep with good form. Pushing heavier weight even though you have doubts you can handle it. Just the WILL to change your body from one state to another can be a battle sometimes when life is sucking it out of you. And the naysayers ...who turn their heads and talk smack because they don't understand WHY we lift these weights. Nothing more satisfying than seeing their heads turn at the bodies being created ... haha! Lifting heavy will most certainly transform your body - but it will also transform your mind - that confidence that NO ONE can take away...it's priceless! LIFT ALL THE WEIGHTS, EAT ALL THE FOOD! :drinker:

"Not as IMPRESSIVE"??? Are you kidding? You are looking fantastic...have you noticed how much smaller you are and how EFFING PHENOMINAL your legs look? I'd KILL for your legs woman! Be PROUD of what you've done thus far and use it as motivation to keep going! CONGRATS!!!!

Lifting heavy will most certainly transform your body - but it will also transform your mind - that confidence that NO ONE can take away...it's priceless! LIFT ALL THE WEIGHTS, EAT ALL THE FOOD! :drinker:

Way to go...your legs look fabby!

I did New Rules of Lifting for about three months over the summer (the after picture was taken in October). I slacked off a bit but am getting back on the lifting wagon and am hoping to finish the program in time for bikini season:)

I keep coming back to your pictures because we are body type twins- I even have stretch marks, lol. I also started at 186-187 lbs and am 5'5". I really hope I look as good as you in another 20 lbs!

I've been doing NROL4W since June. I haven't lifted the full 3 days a week and I took a month off to move, but I've seen huge changes. I've lost 13 lbs, 4" from my waist, 2 inches from my hips, 2 pants sizes, lots of cellulite...I could go on. Lifting is where it is!
