My pink weights have hello kitty on them. It makes me feel more dainty when I lift them. So I know I won't get all bulky. I also try not to pick up and hold any children... those things are like 30 lbs! I just know my biceps will get huge if I do that. Yuck!0

^^Avenger's quote?!
More like Hulk quote dating back from Stan Lee's Incredible Hulk in 1962. However... I'm really really glad that you saw The Avengers movie. :flowerforyou:

Yeah if you wanna get all skinny and ladylike, all you have to do is wear super tight corsets and stop eating and just take the stairs! Lifting heavy might break your nails and ugghhhh it makes you sweat too!
No stairs! They'll give you massive quads and glutes. You need a man like Rhett Butler to carry you up any stairs.0 -
I agree to a point... If you're lifting for resistance training, it's a great way to lose the weight. After all, the more muscle tone you have, the faster your body will burn the fat. However, if you're doing it for the sport of it -- I.E. bodybuilder status -- yeah, please don't. No guy wants to date a chick who looks more manly than he does. When used properly, weights can actually be quite helpful.
Did you seriously just say please don't become a body builder because men may not like it?
I wish we were friends. So I could delete you.0 -

So, I have been lifting since January, and let me just tell you-it's the biggest mistake of my life. I'm SO BULKY! I mean seriously, sometimes I'll just be sitting here at work minding my own business, and my shirt RIPS right off of me! It's crazy! I have to go through entrances sideways because my shoulders have become so broad I won't fit the normal way! And in the past week, my skin has taken on a greenish tint-weird!!
Take my advice, don't lift anything heavier than a 2.5 dumbbell, stick to CARDIO only, and NEVER, EVER eat more than 1200 calories. You'll thank me!
LOVE IT.!!!0 -

I disagree, too, because I had lifted weights (years ago) for years, and I never had that problem. I looked very healthy and had a healthy definition to my body overall. I ate over 1600 calories a day with lots of protein in my diet. I think EVERYONE is different in how their bodies react to everything. Just my two cents.:laugh: :drinker:0

FYI, you may want to bedazzle your gloves, too. It would be a cryin shame to get calluses on those purty hands.0 -
