Yes I thought it was time...6months into lifting and I have comparison pics for the ladies who want to see that lifting doesn't make you bulky...
Left pic Day 1....right pic day 180
Left pic Week 10 into Lifting...right pic day 180
I am very eager to get in the next 6months...Sept 9th 2014
I do however want to thank the ladies in Part 1 and 2 of this thread you were the inspiration for me...
ETA: when I started I was 178lbs...I am now 158...I have dropped a total of almost 20inches from resistence training...7 from lifting heavy and I have dropped 5% BF from lifting, almost 10 from resistence training. I always thought 6 months was a long time but it has flown by...2 -

I know that lifting is very very good for your body in many ways. So, a question for you lifters out there:
How do you keep from being really sore and tired all the time? Lifting makes me so much more sore than running, and if I lift several days in one week I also just get ongoing fatigue. This didn't happen when I was running regularly (used to run about 18 miles a week before adding some lifting to my program.)
Also, lifting makes me ravenous! Any suggestions on how to deal with these two issues?
Right now I have cut back to lifting two times a week, but I am worried that is not enough to meet my goals. Any advice?0 -
Bump for later. Can't wait to see how amazing everyone looks!0

Bump for the hope of posting my own "bulky" success photos one day!
You ladies are seriously inspiring!!

You should be able to see them. I recently found them and went through all three of them. In the beginning if each side is always a note: like the thread is older than 30days, pics disabled, but right underneath you can click on: show pictures :-) unfortunately you have to do that on every site again, but it's so worth it!0 -
Lifting made me bulky too and I LOVE it:) I looked like this after I had my second baby:( YIKES!! (159lbs, 4'11)
]
Lost some weight(15 lbs) doing p90x/insanity but still looked like a marshmallow. Started Stronglifts 5x5 in Feb. of this year. I have gotten so much definition and lost 18ish more pounds. I feel like a rock star every time I deadlift weights that are heavier than me:) Before, I struggled to lift my very small kids that weigh 35 and 26 lbs.
I would rather be "bulky" than fluffy any day of the week!!!! (123lbs)
I am not done yet but wanted to share my experience with heavy lifting!
WOW!!!!!!!!! You look amazing!0 -

LOVE this thread. I've wanted to lift heavy for so long but didn't know how to get started. Someone recommended NROLFW and I started this week. Hopefully in six months I'll have some awesome after shots!0

Make sure you are eating enough calories. That same thing happened to me in the beginning. I was eating only 1200 cals. Went I went to 2000 cals it was all good.0 -

You have such a nice figure!
I love that your results show that while lifting you can keep/enhance your curves. Muscles just help everything start looking a little better0 -
Bump for later!0
