    From the original post...
    Before, a few months prior to heavy lifting:

    Tcu7zpP.jpg

    170 lbs. Size 12 dress. Approximately 30% BF.
    Waist = 33 inches
    Hips = 41 inches
    Under bust = 38 inches
    Thighs = 23 inches
    Arms = 13 inches



    Now, 5 months after starting a progressive loading heavy lifting program:

    ySQwmSK.jpg

    151.8 lbs. Size 4 dress. Approximately 20% BF.
    Waist = 27 inches
    Hips = 36.5 inches
    Under bust = 31 inches
    Thighs = 21.5 inches
    Arms = 11 inches


    17.2 lbs lost. 4 sizes lost. Approximately 10% BF lost. 21 inches (and counting) lost.



    Still think heavy lifting will make you "bulky?" Think again.


    Heavy lifting ladies, I invite you to post YOUR before and after pics. Maybe, just maybe, we can attempt to snuff out this, "WEIGHT LIFTING WILL MAKE ME HYOOOOGE" myth.

    So divisive.

    Don't have any pics of my own to add, but a little birdy told me that the OP has gained 9 lbs since the original post, yet, and here's the kicker, her approximate BF% is lower and she's lost half an inch in her thighs, waist, and hips, and gone down a pant size.

    The little birdy just wanted to drop that bit of info in here, as further proof of the benefits of heavy lifting.

    Could you tell that little birdy that Tinker Angel-Pants is missed and still loved by many.

    i just started the lifting program detailed in Michael Mathews "Thinner Leaner Stronger" ....i have a lot of weight to lose (65lbs) and decided to try something new ....my question is this : i'm pretty good at logging my food and staying under my calorie goals -yes , i eat my exercise calories back , normally its in the form of something sweet that fits into the calories for the day ....will i bulk up on top of my fat if i don't eat "cleaner" ??
