I thought I might share mine

I dont really have any great befores, but I was the walking definition of skinny fat. Think Lindsay Lohan in a bikini at her grossest

Now, Ive been lifting heavy for nearly 5 months and starting to get some results. As you can see I am fairly small framed and I find it hard to gain weight so my progress has been slow, but ive dropped my body fat by 3 or 4 percent at last count (1.5 months ago) I have gotten much, much stronger and FINALLY am seeing some definition! (I think so anyway)


I still have a long way to go and am working hard on making some serious lean gains. I love strength training

Gladly! Lost a lot of weight. Down to 115 at one point. Started weight training, now 122. 18% BF! Love it! I Love the feeling of the burn soooo much! can currently squat 140lbs. Even linear press near 400lbs! The results are great.

Awesome photos! My fav is the squat. That was me years and years ago in high school....sigh.... Anyways did my first lower body weightlifting yesterday that I've done in years without being in pain....if you can call it that. Doing "rehab" squats with a 20 lb dumbell. My trainer warned me that this is gonna be a long road. But I'm willing to wait just so I can post my after pictures and be pain free.

whats calorie deficit lifting?

whats calorie deficit lifting?

burning more than you eat on a lifting routine rather than a cardio routine.

yoovie

I think - dont quote me. In fact go study and find out! Its the best way to go about this!

Before: 270+ lbs and some high bodyfat percentage. I actually didn't start my trek until about a year after this photograph was taken.






About a month ago at 190lbs, looking much better in a suit than the prior shot.






Now: 185lbs, 18.3% bodyfat.

^ Yep. Using weightlifting to burn body fat while maintaining muscle.

EDIT: Technically you use a calorie deficit to lose weight. The weightlifting promotes that weight loss to come from body fat and promotes the retention of lean body weight.

I wish more women would stop doing so much cardio and pick up those weights!! Nothing better than the feeling after lifting your body weight or more in weights. I feel so accomplished and my body has never been tighter. Great results girls!

For y'all ladies on here posting insanely amazing results did you use free weights or machines?

I did machines for about a year before switching to free weights. Now the only machine I want is a time machine to go back and start with free weights.

It makes a huge difference. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/744311-free-weights-vs-machines-holy-crap

Everyone looks amazing, awesome job everyone. I hope to post my own results in several months.
