Well, I'm workin' on it. I currently weigh around 163 and I am 5'5", so I do still have fat I want to get rid of. I've been lifting heavy since September of 2012, so I have a ways to go yet.0

I see Sara already fixed it, but you need [i m g] in front of the url, and [/i m g] at the end (but without spaces). You were close.0 -
Thank you for fixing it!0

I don't lift heavy, but just came in to say all you ladies look great!!! :flowerforyou: I also wanted to say to MoreBean: I especially liked you showing your pics because we are just about the same height and you weigh a little more than I do now and you look fantastic!!!!0

I told you no smiling in the gym. : ) How come you look all calm while lifting and I look like Im trying to eat my own face? LOL
Great work ladies. This thread is amazing.0 -
Thank you all for posting! Will def start lifting heavy as soon as I finish this round of Insanity. You are inspirational!!
Morebean, your FL is right! Posting the stats does inspire others! I feel just about ready to ditch my scale and solely measure my progress with measurements and progression with lifting.0 -
I lift with dumbbells ranging from 5-15 lbs. it feels challenging to me but im not the strongest girl lol0

< --- Total Beast!
But seriously, I'm stronger and I'm a faster runner now that I switched from high rep, low weight to low rep, high weight. I highly recommend heavy lifting for women!0 -
Okay, yeah, some might call me bulky... but I am a beginner when it comes to lifting and I've been a cardio junkie/runner/martial artist for the last 15 years. I just started lifting in October and while I've gotten stronger, I haven't gotten any bigger. So if lifting makes you bulky, well just being can make you bulky too... just saying. It's genetics to some degree.0
