    Tameko, happy for these to be amalgamated!

    So... this is after (nearly) 8 weeks of stronglifts, but it was 4 April when the last lot of pics were taken so around 5 weeks between shots. I have to say I am amazed! This is also pretty much the -only- exercise I am doing, the odd 5 minutes on the bike or cross trainer but nothing else really... and grr I went through resizing all of these and saving over the originals on photobucket but it seems to ignore me. *sigh* sorry!

    this one's just for a laugh, my daughter took it before we started!

    I gained 1.6lbs this past month, but lost 6" overall. Also according to Heybales spreadsheet, my body fat decreased 1.61%. Just further proof scales are stupid.

    Thanks for posting your stats! I started the program two weeks ago and my weight has stalled and even gone up a little :/ I was worried so I took my measurements and I've already lost a 1/2 in in hips and 1/2 in in waist! I'm loving the program. I finish week 2 tonight :) Way to go on your progress....inspiring!


    All y'all looking so good!

    I love love the pictures!! Well done everyone!:)
  • These results are awesome. I started lifting heavy a few months ago and have, after seeing what's out there, started the stronglift 5x5 routine. I have started a blog to keep myself accountable. My next blog post will reveal my body fat (getting it measured in a few days), discuss my diet plan and why i decided to keep doing stronglifts, and will show what will end up being my "before" pics. I haven't focused enough on progressing the weight I lift because I don't have the squat rack that I need at home so will probably get a gym membership so I can get the most out of my routine, from this day on. My blog is at muchmorewhit.com. Hope you check it out :)

    I just want to say, I have NEVER added a photo to a forum before so I am sorry if I screw this up :laugh: I really just wanted to show the women just starting out with lifting, that a butt lift without a doctor is possible!

    The first picture was taken around in Dec 2012 , I can't remember. I wish I wore the same clothing back then as I did in my recent ones but too late now. The last two were taken about a month apart. I am happy with my progress to far.

    Before Dec 2012, I had never lifted weights. I started in Dec with NROLFW, finished Stage 1 at the end of Jan and never made it through the rest. Feb and March went by and I decided I needed to get back into it. Thats when I jumped on the SL wagon and havn't looked back. I love it! I will admit, since starting there have been times I didn't get it in the 3x a week, but I didn't let that get me down. I just keep on moving forward.

    I never thought taking progress pictures would help, but when the scale isn't moving, these pictures and the other views I have taken, keep me focused on my goal.

    Patience is everything.

    I'm SO impressed with all you ladies!!! I can't wait to have been lifting for as long as some of you and actually have "respectable" weights :) That said...I posted this on the main success stories but wanted to share here too :) I'm a group lurker ;)

    This is after a loose 6 weeks on stronglifts....can't wait to see what the next 6 bring!!!
