Nice work. You look great. I started out with NROL as well. It is a great beginner book.0

You look awesome. I love the definition of your back! Congrats0

Wow, wow, and wow!
I have easier time doing running and cardio. i love the high you get. But looking at your body - I need to start figuring out how to get high on weights!
Just wow!0 -
Wow I think this may be one of the best posts I have read in my life!!! This has just made me determined into getting into weights!!! Currently I've been trying to lose weight doing cardio and tiny bit of strength training, nothing much while eating low cal diet but then I reached a platuau which infuriated me to the point of tears as I was so angry that I was eating little but there seemed to be no point. I eventually pulled myself together a bit, upped my cals and started doing 30day shred everyday as some small cardio here and there. I'm almost finished and I've seen a little change. No weight loss but I expected it. Tiny inch loss which is good but I hoped for more. So I'm starting to get frustrated again and weight lifting just seems to constantly come up as the answer for me. I want muscles so I would be really excited to get into it!!! I just feel totally lost as a beginner though as I have no clue what to do and the names of lifts or what I'm capable of and what I should be doing. Anyways this post jut inspired me so much! And yes I have jiggly bits too! Even after weightloss which shows I definitely need to get into strength more!!!!! Wow thank you so much I'm so getting that book now!!!!!!!!0

Great transformation. I would that all the anorexic girls would get the revelation that you did.. It is NOT about weight loss.. It is about FAT LOSS... You have done it by EATING and LIFTING... You have dropped body fat and increased lean mass and look great.. Nice job.. Look forward to seeing next year's pics.0

Awesome work. The more people that see these kinds of results the better. Both men and women. So many people putting off strength training until after they lose weight or not planning on starting at all. Then not understanding why they are not seeing the results they want compared to the amount of work they are putting in.
Again nice work, you look amazing.0 -
You have done an amazing job0

You look absolutely amazing. When I get closer to my goal weight, I totally want to get into New Rules now.
Edit: I'm doing a lot of free strength training with every workout now, just nothing structured. Just thought I should clarify. Ha.0 -
great progress! thank you for sharing! Love lifting!0

You've made fantastic progress--looking great!
I'm going to send my MFP friends to your thread, as I have a lot who are just getting interested in lifting.
Thanks for answering all the great questions you've had--it was interesting to hear your thoughts on NROLFW vs. Stronglifts for a beginner. I feel like I'm always directing women towards Stronglifts or Starting Strength because I just find those programs so much simpler in design, and much more efficient. But I grew up with a stepdad who coached strength, so I was pretty comfortable with lifting and the guys in gyms, etc. I've encouraged other women to just get over these hang ups and lift, but if it helps to have NROLFW vs. SS or Stronglifts in the beginning, I'm definitely supportive of that.
I should add that I've not done NROLFW, but I've read the book and liked it, for the most part.
Best wishes with your continued lifting and your PhD! Exciting stuff. :flowerforyou:0 -
you look fab:) i also enjoy lifting more than cardio.0

Excellent work!! I saw this and went to go show a friend of mine on here... only to realize you know her too lol. I'll be pimping you out to others who doubt (because sadly, there are still many who don't understand)0

You look like a fit and healthy young lady. Exactly the result women need to realise that lifting gives. Great job and I am glad you enjoy your workouts0

you look amazing.0

wow! you look incredible, so inspiring!0

Hey, just wanted to say congrats for your results! You've obviously been working hard!
I'm a lady who lifts as well and have been for a while, but I'm struggling to get the results I want!
As per most women, it's my abs and my butt that I want to focus on!
I'm unsure whether to put my weights up or not, or even how high to put them up!
Any tips for a fellow lifter?0 -
That is Amazing! You have had incredible results!
I am just starting strength training and would like to start lifting at some point so you are an inspiration0 -
way to go0
