weight lifting for women

Options
Just finished the book nrolfw and I'm pretty pumped to get started! I've always been scared of weights, I have thick legs to begin with, but I've lost about 40 lbs from running over the past 2 years and let me just say, looks good with clothes on! After reading the book I'm convinces I can continue to lose fat and build muscle to make my body look and feel better. Just curious if anyone has had success with the program. Again I have never lifted so it is all so foreign to me.
