Just what I needed to see today!! I have a long way to go on my legs!Another progress photo. The photo on the left was taken almost a year ago. I was lifting at the time, but I wasn't lifting heavy. The photo on the right was taken this month (can't remember the exact date). The photo on the right is after 6-7 months after I started lifting heavy via Stronglifts.

This is a "before" pic and "during" pic, haha. The first pic was taken June 2013 and the during was taken a couple days ago. Ive been dieting (though it doesnt feel like it, I eat 2200-3000 calories a day... but Im also breastfeeding) and I do cardio 3x a week for fun. I do SL 2-3x a week right after. So Im only at the gym 2-3x a week, not too shabby!
I just cant believe how much my posture has improved and how much my stomach has been "pulled in." You cant tell with these pics but my arms also have a lot more definition. Ive had 3 babies in 4 yrs, just had my youngest in December so hes only 8 mos and I gained a lot of weight with him. My goal weight is 155 because that's what I was when I got married
but I dunno, Ill just see how this weight lifting goes. I love it!
Cant wait to post an "after" picture. I hope to lose all my weight/fat by my baby's first birthday in December! I think I can do it.
If "during" is like this what will be the "after"?!! Amazing and Awesome transformation!!
What's your height?

Started Stronglifts 5x5 in August 2014. Still working on reducing body fat %. I've found I actually look "smaller" now at a higher weight than I did years ago at a lower weight. Go figure!

I can't believe I am going to share pictures but the results are what keeps me going.
This is my batwing.
It has been my goal for the past year. I hate it.
It limits me on clothing I can wear and the way I feel about my body.
I'm a teacher and the students ask me why I wear shawls and sweaters all the time...
this is why. (Warning: hard on the eyes)
Now, after this I lost 100 pounds without lifting any weights. So, I had this.
One month later using the SL program, call it newbie gains or whatever, it is finally getting better. Still can't do a tanktop but I feel better about the progress at least.

Congratulations! Big difference! Keep going!0 -
Okay, here goes. I attempted to make a collage so they could be side by side but it took quite a bit of effort with my computers limited software for such. Had to fight file sizes and paint. Left is from when I first started, little over a month before I started weightlifting and SL. Second is after the 12 weeks of SL and a few weeks into NROLFW. Final is dress shopping. I will do some like the previous when I have a place to do it and that may be in November when I go visit family as I want to do some sports bra shots to go with the ones I have but may never post (we'll see). So, year of lifting, learning to jog and counting calories. And sorry, no smile on the selfie with the phone, lately even if I smile I look grumpy so I gave up on that, lol.

I am 57 years old. I have no idea how much I weigh now. I last weighed around 142 and my goal weight is 125. I got down to 135lbs and was a size 10. Then March 1, 2015 I started doing strong lift 5x5. I then lost 17 inches and am now a size 5-7 depending on fit. I also went from doing 21 to 24 hours of cardio every week to ZERO I only do strong lift 5x5 for an hour every other day. I also changed from eating 1260 calories to 1600 +. I started lifting with a 12.5 lb bar and now lift 109 lbs squat, 100lb sumo squat, bench 83lbs, barbell row 89lbs, over head press 62lbs, and deadlift 137lbs.

@fanncy0626 - Thanks. You look great. I've seen the photos in a couple of the success threads and it's a wow each time.0

Dawn - We found the secret to getting in shape and being able to eat a lot of food. Lifting weights and making lean muscle that burn 7-10 calories per pound per day compared to fat that burns 2-3 calories per pound per day. Your pictures show your successful transformation through weight lifting and should be motivation to other women!0

Great job both of you!!!0

Had a great workout last night! I deadlifted 165lbs (more than my body weight) for the first time! Felt like a badass!
I was so jazzed, I went home and took progress pics - something I have seriously been slacking on. I've lost almost 40 lbs since Christmas, though I'm back to around the 30-35 lb mark now that I've switched to maintenance and been eating to lift. It still floors me when I can see, side by side, how much my body has changed! I've only been doing Stronglifts for real (free weights) since the very end of July, but have seen incredible changes, even since then!
And, for reference....
