    What a great thing was that you did not follow his advice. That mentality is a very common error. The ideal range for lifting weights for fatloss is to being almost unable to make a 8 to 12th repetition . (it should be very difficult for you to lift that 10th rep!).

    Did you by any chance read BFFM by Tom Venuto? I highly recommend it to everyone !
    Amazing results, your transformation is sensational.

    just curious was the person who told you to stop lifting heavy weights a guy who you were out lifting? lol.

    Hahaha. No, he could outlift me for sure. But he was trying to convince me of that "lighter weights, more reps" mentality and I was like heeeeck no!
    PSH he was just trying to warn you that after you lose thirty SIX pounds you start turning into a gigantic man hulk.

    Also curious was he saying it was because you're a girl or because he's one of those guys who think more reps = smaller muscles and less reps = larger muscles?

    Yeah he's one of those that thinks more reps = tones muscles. Which I guess it may for some, right? Not me apparently ;) hahaha.
