    whats calorie deficit lifting?

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Here's all I got for ya. I started lifting in January, stopped in August. This pic was in October when I decided to start lifting again. I was shocked I still had this much muscle on me.

    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. :wink:

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