    This is about six months of training for me.

    Edit to note it actually took about 10 months to lose the weight, started weight training about 4 months in

    Awesome transformation! So strong and fit!

    Whoa. Do not take offense but your *kitten* is amazing! Squats have done ya good...I have been trying and trying to get mine to lift and its being so stubborn!

    So inspired! I've been flirting with the idea of "New Rules" for awhile now, but I find weight lifting SO. DANG. BORING! Varied cardio is the only way to keep my brain interested (or more misty-woo-woo slow stuff like yoga or ballet)! Did anybody else who has stuck with a heavy lifting program struggle with this at the beginning or all the way through?

    I would welcome this :laugh: I'm the only one in there right now. Some days I feel like pulling other women over and showing them how great it can be. LOL

    I LOVE this thread. But I have no clue about weight lifting. I use machine weights.. is that just as effective?? I find it easier to use and I can use it without any guidance. I wouldn't have a clue about free weights. I love every single before and after here and I am in process of losing weight. I enjoy working out and would like this same results.

    Machine weights don't give you the full fiber tear down that free weights do. Free weights recruit more muscle fibers, so I like to do the free weights then do the machines to isolate muscle.

    Dropped from 330 to about 225ish in a year or so. What sucks is I dropped so fast that my skin hasnt adapted so it looks turrible on my abs.

    You can get results from machines for sure. Free weight are going to be superior for the reasons mentioned above. The big compound lifts (squats, dead lift, bench press, rows, pull ups and so on) are going to give you the best bang for the effort though. If you really want to see these kind of results it is really important that you try to get into the free weight section as soon as you can. Find an instructor, video or manual and try to get started.

    I wish...still the only heavy female lifter in my gym and when I swap gyms next year, one of very few women in the gym fullstop (it is a lush strength training haven with 3, yes 3 squat racks...oooh!)

    I am still very much a work in progress, I have never posted pictures before so hope the links work. I have been lifting heavy for 5 months and have only lost about 8-9 lbs but I love the way it makes me feel and it has done AMAZING things for my backside, or atleast thats what my husband says!

    I go to two gyms as I live in 2 different places right now. complete contrast. One has a rack of cardio machines and people do a double-take when I walk in the weights room because they think I'm lost. The other gym? They wonder where my muscles are and can't wait to see me toned like the rest of the women there (I would add that the second gym seems friendlier......)

    I do. I usually hate every minute of lifting (although I am in the minority, most women say they love it after trying it). However, the mirror keeps me motivated.
