Hi everyone,
i have just joined MFP and i have hearing such amazing reviews about strong lifts that i really want to star asapt. So far i have only been doing cardio( les mills classes,power walking etc) but i am really bored of doing only cardio. I have alot of weight to lose..around 35 pounds and my bf is 32%. So, i was wondering if i will shed my fat loss doing strong lifts.?or is it more more for toning up than actual fat loss?Sld i continue with my cardio. Also pl dont shoot me but what is TDEE?
pl advice..i so desperately want to shed my fat and get into my pre pregnancy clothes
thank u so much

go to that link. It will tell you everything about TDEE you need to know. I am jsut starting SL myself and am not sure how it helps with fat loss but I hate cardio so I'm hoping it helps.0 -
I've been doing SL for 3 weeks and I've lost 0.5% BF in the last week. No change on the scale. I am a happy girl :bigsmile:0

BF% loss is a good sign! I wouldn't expect weight loss. I've read others posting that they have gained "weight" but I wouldn't care what my weight is if I'm "ripped!" :laugh:0

In two weeks my weight has stayed the same but I've lost 1% body fat. And I eat pretty comfortably and don't count calories.0

Yeah, start lifting! It's awesome. For instance, I dropped 0.5" off each of my hips and seat in 11 days without any change in weight, and my butts looks perky for the first time in, well, ever. (I've got about another 16lbs of fat to go, but I hope to gain up to 7lbs of muscle so my net weight loss is only about 9lbs over the next year to 18 months. That'll put me. on 20% BF instead of 29%)0

I'm due to measure again next week (only measuring once a month). And I only weigh myself to get a workout weight for Fitocracy!0

I started 3 weeks ago, and I've dropped 3 pounds in that time. I am a lot heavier than the other girls, and I have about 65 pounds more to lose. I'm eating at a deficit, which is leading to the weight loss, but I'm hoping that the SL will help me to to retain as much lean body mass as possible (limiting losses to fat not muscle). However, eating at a deficit means that I can't gain muscle beyond newbie gains (I've not seen an amount, but I'm guessing for women that would be a pound). But, I'm fine with that. When I get closer to goal I can deal with trying to build muscle.0

I've been doing SL off and on for the past 8 months. I do very little cardio; 3 mile walks when the weather is nice, maybe 20 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical after I finish my SL workout, but other than that the majority of my exercise has been my SL routine. In the past 8 months I have lost roughly 32 inches! So yeah, I'd say it works for fat loss. LOL
My weight when I started SL - 195 pounds
Today's weight - 169 pounds
My measurements from May...
Waist - 39 inches
Belly button area - 42 inches
Hips - 46 inches
Neck - 15 inches
Right thigh - 23 inches
Left thigh - 24 inches
Right upper arm - 14 inches
Left upper arm - 14 inches
My measurements from last week...
Waist - 33 inches
Belly button area - 35 inches
Hips - 37 inches
Neck - 13.5
Right thigh - 21 inches
Left thigh - 21.5 inches
Right upper arm - 12 inches
Left upper arm - 12 inches0 -

WOW is right. Congratulations!!! Women.... lift!!!0 -
Thanks ladies!
One piece of advice...TAKE BEFORE PICTURES!!! I didn't take any when I started and I sooo wish that I had. Most days I don't feel like I've really lost anything, but looking at my measurements, there's no denying it. I just wish I had some before pictures to compare with where I am now. :-/0 -

Agree with you on this!!BF% loss is a good sign! I wouldn't expect weight loss. I've read others posting that they have gained "weight" but I wouldn't care what my weight is if I'm "ripped!" :laugh: 0
