Female: Heavy lifting before and after pics

NavyKnightAh13

Bumping to follow progress. I start weight lifting and then stop and then start and then stop. :grumble:

And as soon as I can start getting to the gym again (dang snow) I will be lifting again.

Well impressed! lifting it is ! did you follow any particular diet/macros?

On the left I was eating 1300ish calories and doing mostly cardio work (I had knee surgery followed by a broken collar bone so my activity was limited) My body fat was 30%. After lifting weights and getting serious into strength training, within five months I dropped my body fat to around 23% and ate an avg. of 2000 calories!! Same weight, smaller sizes.

Before I had my other knee operated on in late Dec. 2012, I was eating 2300 calories and avg. 20-21% body fat. I lifted heavy in the gym - full body 3x a week. I also did some endurance or yoga or other class type exercises 2x a week with 2 days rest. The scale had gone up, too. I was avg. 150lbs - but still in a size 6/8!!

Today I'm slowly getting back into my full routine and I love it! Strong in my own skin! *flexes* grrrr! lol

well done ladies, my wife is doing NROLW, it's a great program, I am doing it for the men of course! I like the diversity of the book and how it keeps evolving, as it should, the new books are great as well.

NO lifting, all cardio:


Stonglifts 5x5, almost no cardio:



Just started calorie counting- hoping to get more defined abs. Theres two years between the pics but I'd say most the results were within the year.

One year of change - 77.2kg to 61.1kg and around 42% to around 27% body fat.



I did a PT machine programme from January to March. Stronglifts was my programme from April to December. Now I'm doing 5/3/1 with BBB.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're my inspiration here SS. Fantastic results

I love this I had just about decided that I was just going to do cardio after my p90x was finished but now I realize my weight might not be dropping fast but I love gaining the muscle and feel stronger and should just stick with it!!!! So bump
