    ETA: I HATE posting this, but my FL has told me that it's actually helpful for people to see- I'm 5'3" and 153 lbs (154 in pics)...overweight BMI.

    Heh. I hope I'm not considered "bulky"....but this extra fat is taking a little longer to take a hike than I'm happy about (I eat all the crappy food though!). As for lifting - well, here are my current numbers: Squat - 175-185#, Deads - 205-215#, OHP - 85-90#, thruster 110#, bench 105# (haven't checked recently). So yeah, I think I lift heavy. ATTENTION WH0RES UNITE! Love this.
    Oh, I'm 5'5, 153#.

    <---- I don't think I'm bulky. I still have weight to lose (especially around my midsection), but I'm getting there. I'm at work, so I can't post a full on picture.

    Here's what I'm lifting:

    Squat - 155lbs
    Deadlift - 150lbs
    Bench - 95lbs
    Row - 65lbs
    OHP - 65lbs

    Edit to say that I'm 5'6" and I weigh 183. I wear a size 10/12 pants.

    OP, I love the Halloween costumes you and your hubby are sporting!

    Ha. Thanks. We thought we were quit cleaver but then we saw another couple at the bar that were Lance and a member of the US ADA. Had we been less drunk we would have taken a picture of all of us together.

    Here's testament right here. Does she "look" like she weighs 183 lbs? At 5'6"? I have a friend who doesn't lift who weighs this who obviously doesn't look half as good.

    Not to mention- when was the last time anyone heard a woman who lifts heavy say she regrets it?!?!?

    I <3 this thread.

    ^^THIS! I don't "lift heavy" persay but I lift and am working on the getting to heavy part. BUT I can say that the last time my *kitten* was in a size 8 I was shorter and lighter than I am currently. Shorter by about an inch and lighter by about 20lbs. The other thing is there was not one spot of my clothing that was LOOSE then either... I will NEVER regret deciding to start lifting weights.

    Yes. But I think we were wondering when it would all start. Although JPC and noob have been here for awhile now.

    <<<<<<<My Arms are finally trying to cut some and I am very excited....LIFT HEAVY

    I lift heavy..I teach Group Power and it introduced me more to lifting and currently doing the Jamie Eason Program that has really changed my body to the max and encourage me to go heavy...Leg Press- 175 highest, .Squat- 120-130 3x8 etc...she has me doing heaviest to failure and I LOVE IT....almost like burn out!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: It makes me feel strong...

    I don't feel bucky if anything maybe more toned I think it is in learning and knowing your body....
