I've improved all over but especially my legs which I'm picturing below. I've been lifting heavy for over 2 years and eating right, I've gone from 105 pounds of cellulite-y legs to 112 pounds of toned and muscular, but thinner legs!
Before: 105 pounds
After: 112 pounds

What is the main culprit when you don't get these results? Heavy lifting 2x a week (on occassion 3x) Did my own thing for a while, then switched to New Rules for women routine beginning of Oct... and now on Stage 3.
Too much cardio? Not eating enough? Not up'ing the weights fast enough (bf says I'm lifting too heavy)
Awesome job everyone... really wish I had some progress to show along side you all!!!0 -

No offence taken! Thank you! My booty was the first thing to change, and my stomach was the last. I'm still working hard on my mid-section. You can do anything you set your mind to!0 -

Are you eating right? How is your form? How heavy are you lifting? It's hard to know for sure without more detail.0 -

This, and a lot of these results are over a longer time period than ~2 months. Are you taking progress photos?
During Stronglifts, I've been taking pics every two weeks. If I compare them side by side, there's barely any change, but comparing the first week to the most recent, there's improvement. But it's not the kind of change that's going to get oohs and ahhs.... I have to really LOOK for changes.0 -

Yep all of this^.
In the beginning when I was losing weight pretty quickly. I was also getting some newbie gains and some swelling from water retention. I thought OH MY GAWD I am getting ripped. LOL You soon realize that that will not continue long and you just have stick to a program. Dont just fiddle around from one machine to the next and expect to see anything happen. You have to progressively get stronger. Sticking to whatever rep/set structure your program has you on. I used a bodybuilding program the vast majority of the last year which had my reps at 8-12. Once you can lift that weight for that amount of reps/sets its time to raise it. Wish I would have chosen a strength based program with lower rep ranges now but the results were still good. It was enough to promote muscle retention while in a moderate deficit.
Hitting your macro and nutrition goals is just as important. If you are in a deficit it should not be so large that you have no energy for the actual workouts. Dont over do the workouts either. More is not always better. 3-4 days a week depending on the program you choose is enough. If you choose to do cardio dont over do it.0 -

I LOVE this, you look absolutely amazing. Think of all the girls who think weighing LESS than 105 is the only way to get your body. You need to shout it from the rooftops. You look incredible!
