are they in photobucket? there is a link to paste..?0 -
I tried it with the "direct link" option, and the pictures work but they're too big. Can you resize?0

Thanks for your help!!! I will try to resize and try again soon. Lord knows why the pictures are giant. Nobody needs to see that!0

OK, Here we go!
I started losing weight on January 1, 2013. In the second week of January I found MFP and it has made ALL the difference for me. I have used the logging to make sure I am eating in a deficit. And in early February, at the suggestion of SideSteel in the Eat Train Progress group I started doing an actual published routine for my workouts.
I've lifted weights for about 15 years. About 9 years ago my life changed and I was really sick, diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The time since then has been spent figuring out what works for my new, fibromyalgia body. In the last 9 years I'd been lifting weights only sporadically. I'd hire a trainer and they would have me do workouts that would leave me completely wiped out and that gave me no results at all. I hated the gym instead of loving it.
When I started Stronglifts, that changed. I feel better now than I have in ages. I am astounded at how much better my knees are. I love the simplicity and the results.
A pic that a friend put up on Facebook that I found devastating at the time:

Ges - Fabulous progress! You can really see how your body is changing!0
-
Thank you both!! It was hard to share these, so it is nice to have positive feedback.0
-
Holy Moly Ges, you are shrinking! Great work---and its wonderful to hear that you are FEELING better too!1
-
You look great! That's amazing!0

Tameko, happy for these to be amalgamated!
So... this is after (nearly) 8 weeks of stronglifts, but it was 4 April when the last lot of pics were taken so around 5 weeks between shots. I have to say I am amazed! This is also pretty much the -only- exercise I am doing, the odd 5 minutes on the bike or cross trainer but nothing else really... and grr I went through resizing all of these and saving over the originals on photobucket but it seems to ignore me. *sigh* sorry!
this one's just for a laugh, my daughter took it before we started!

lwoodroff - living proof that you can eat all the food and still be rockin' hot and strong!0

Lol and boy do I eat all the food!0

Hope these aren't huge!
I gained 1.6lbs this past month, but lost 6" overall. Also according to Heybales spreadsheet, my body fat decreased 1.61%. Just further proof scales are stupid.
Thanks for posting your stats! I started the program two weeks ago and my weight has stalled and even gone up a little I was worried so I took my measurements and I've already lost a 1/2 in in hips and 1/2 in in waist! I'm loving the program. I finish week 2 tonight Way to go on your progress....inspiring!
All y'all looking so good!0 -
Ok, so you ladies are freaking awesome! I'm starting SL5x5 on Monday and you all just sold me. I'm so excited and proud of you all for your progress.0

These results are awesome. I started lifting heavy a few months ago and have, after seeing what's out there, started the stronglift 5x5 routine. I have started a blog to keep myself accountable. My next blog post will reveal my body fat (getting it measured in a few days), discuss my diet plan and why i decided to keep doing stronglifts, and will show what will end up being my "before" pics. I haven't focused enough on progressing the weight I lift because I don't have the squat rack that I need at home so will probably get a gym membership so I can get the most out of my routine, from this day on. My blog is at muchmorewhit.com. Hope you check it out0
