    I am sure like minded people will praise your utter rudeness. Perhaps you should spend more time working on your abrasivness and less time ridiculing others. If you don't like what someone says about weight lifting, then speak your mind and move on. Those who don't want to do that have their own reasons. Condescending arrogance will motivate no one.

    Another one who loses out due to extreme sensitiviy and taking offense to the tone of posts on the internet but can take the time to post about it instead of working out or something else productive. Sounds legit.

    I haven't really encountered many females blatantly against strength training.

    You haven't looked around these forums much, I'm guessing.

    Shut up is such a rude thing to say to people that I can't read your post.

    I agree...tact goes a LONG way...and self-serving, haughty, holier-than-thou, narcissistic attitudes aren't exactly inspiring or motivational.

    It's like: Here's...an...award? *pins it on OP*

    Nothing against women and weight lifting, but definitely disgusted by condescending attitudes. Turn off! Anyway, peace. ;)

    I was lifting a few years back but stopped and gained weight.
    I started lifting again January last year and I haven't stopped.
    I am amazed that I don't need to push the grocery cart to my car anymore, I am strong enough to carry all the bags. I can open jars and I can bend down with ease. I have nice definition in my arms and shoulders, people are starting to get jealous of them :)
    My main motivation for lifting was that I don't want to get old. I watch my mother, my mother in law and my grandmother go thru so many ailments, broken bones, high blood pressure and having to take so many pills throughout the day that I just don't want that to happen to me. I want to be able to lift and play with my grandchildren, I want to be strong and be able to protect myself or my family if I had to. I do not want to be a "weakling".
    Lifting won't make us women bulky it will make us STRONGER!

    I squat my body weight and deadlift even more...I'm huge and bulky...all 110 pounds and size 2 of me!!!!!! :wink:

    (My own mother thinks I am going to turn into she-man by lifting weights, people are just ill informed)

    Lift those weights ladies!! They will only make you smaller and tighter. I was embarassed to get into a bikini before (even at 100 pounds, because I had cellulite), now, I flaunt one!

    you were okay jumping right on bashing obese women earlier.......but a healthy woman tells you to lift some weights for your own health and you're too fragile to hear it?

    That does not compute...

    OP - You're beautiful. :drinker:

    Anyone who was offended by this...well, I'm baffled how anyone could be.

    Great post! I finally listened, dropped most of my cardio and started lifting 3 times a week. Can't wait to see the changes that will be happening in my body this year.

    Well. I wish someone had told me to shut up and listen before I gained the weight. Then I wouldn't have packed in so many sandwiches and maybe I would have started lifting heavy sooner. Why mention the rudeness of the OP and then say you aren't going to comment?


    It puts the lotion on its skin. :laugh:
