    Absolutely stunning, and awesome motivation! I always thought cardio was the only way to go when it came to losing weight, then I started lifting. I still do cardio, but lifting is where it really works for me. Thanks for sharing your success!

    OMG! Women shouldn't lift heavy-don't you know you'll get bulky and become a man????

    From one lifter to another-way to go! You look amazing! I wish more women would grow some balls, ditch the cardio, and lift. The difference is like night and day!
