there is a comparison of me - i rarely ever do any cardio, just heavy lifting
as a random side note, I have no loose skin - it was a weird concern of mine, probably a bit my age and a bit at the slower rate of weightloss - But i credit a lot of it to my mostly lifting approach to weight loss, this could be total bro science
few more pics in my profile0 -
Wow you all look fantastic0

I have lost about 10 more pounds since this picture and about 6 inches...still have about 8% more body fat and 20 more pounds I would like to lose but I really like what I'm seeing so far :bigsmile:
wow you look great!0 -
I started lifting heavy about a year ago, some weight loss occurred in the 4-5 months prior to that and I did also do some cardio. My before pick doesn't show as much, but you get the idea. The pics on my profile have more.0

You all look amazing!! Can't wait to get there! Sickness (4 bugs in March) and injury are hindering my pace, but I'm working around it, and trying to remember to be careful.

I actually just created a success post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/958287-partway-there-diabetes-and-lifting-progress-pics
I've only been lifting for 3 months but it's made a tremendous difference. Current lifts: bench 125 (paused), squat 230, deadlift 2850 -

This is my 3 month progress of heavy lifting and training for my first 5K...not a lot of weight loss, 7 pounds! But my body is changing and I'm so happy! I'll be starting the New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women in May!

What do you guys eat to get the extra protein?
I just try to stick to a high-protein diet whether I'm strength training or not (don't look at my diary the past few days though, cause I've been massively failing at that). Generally, I try to eat some kind of lean meat at least once a day - usually chicken breast- and the rest of the day I eat snacks like string cheese, peanut butter, eggs, whole grain products, protein bars, etc. I also like to drink a protein shake after working out.0 -
What do you guys eat to get the extra protein?
Protein powderrrr!! Hahaha, but yes...a good protein shake for breakfast and/or after a work out if definitely how I get my extra protein. I naturally get protein from lean meats, eggs, and peanut butter! I have completely switched from ground beef to ground turkey so that helps out big time. I also always keep a stash of hard boiled eggs on hand for a protein-boosted snack.0
