    You are a bombshell!

    merci! :blushing:

    You look amazing, how many calories you had per day, while lifting?

    Not bulky at all, you are being too hard on yourself. Keep it up

    Wow! You are all so inspirational!

    I'm starting strong lifts 5x5 on Monday so fingers crossed in a few months I'll be able to post here!

    I'm so motivated. Hats off to all of you who persevered and lost fat and gained POWER.

    ETA: Any thoughts of treadmills and small pink hand weights should be left at the door on your way into this thread.

    I'm continually amazed at how people who lift heavy can completely not only slim down but change their shape completely.

    I wish I had a bum that went UP and OUT instead of just middle aged spread! :blush:

    Thanks so much for this thread! I am starting next week- have a trainer. A competitive female lifter, so I know I am in good hands. Can't wait until I can share my results. Keep them coming ladies!

    Nice work! I think the problem is just a lack of understanding. Women can't get huge like a guy due to lacking a lot of testosterone and their overall muscle structure. To get huge, you'd need some type of drug.

    I FINALLY made it through all 50 pages of this thread and I'm SO glad I found it! You ladies are definitely an inspiration. I've done three SL 5X5 workouts so far and I'm really liking it. Hopefully I'll have some progress pics to share soon!
