    My profile picture is about 6 months change from NROL4W. Not even finished with the program yet :-) (PS Only about 2 pounds difference in the pictures)

    I hope to be a success story one day...I just recently started with weights again, I fell out of shape after an injury & all my hard work was undone :(

    You can see my general progression in my profile pictures.

    I am only 5 lbs lighter than when I started MFP now yet look at the photo in the pink sports bra vs. earlier photos. Definitely a difference due to change in body composition.

    here is my flickr feed of my progression pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/53944838@N05/sets/72157630114535644/

    I will tell you, even with the machines at the gym, I saw progress.

    this was before I started at the gym. Notice the back rolls.

    and here is kind of a before and after...the left is 3 years ago, before I hit my all time high of 228lbs. I was 188-199lbs. The picture on the right is less than 2 months ago--I was 195lbs.

    I don't have pictures right now, BUT I was very successful with Jamie Eason's LiveFit program.
    The whole 12 week trainer plus nutrition guide can be found here. It's free! Good luck!

    I lost most of my weight with cardio (did use some light dumbbells and a little Pilates over the years as well) and started lifting heavy last April. Injured myself in August and just started back last week.

    I don't have pics, but I've stayed pretty close to the same weight but have lost 3% body fat since starting heavy lifting. And my knees hurt less and I can see a real difference in my arms and legs. The flabby flap under my arm is much much tighter!

    This is me..before dec 2011 weight about 210... after jan 2013 weight 206..

    I did gain 30lbs in between that time and just about lost it all now.. this is between lifting as much as I can and Zumba.

    I will post pics later but I've had a lot of success weight lifting. I started with NROL4W and ended that back in November of last year. I loved it. Now I am doing Cathe's STS program which is kicking my butt but delivering awesome rewards. I hit 50 lbs lost today so am planning on taking another pic to post a before and during which will better show results. Good luck!

    Before, then at a little below my goal weight, after a year of lifting with machines, and after switching to free weights.
