Yesterday I got asked if my profile photo was a man or a woman.
*roll eyes*
Can I just say, I do plenty of cardio and it makes me feel great BUT I love weights and nothing has changed my body like regular pump classes have!

Anyone else get comments about muscles like its a negative??!

    Don't you know muscles instantly make us grow penises and chest hair! /sarcasm

    All of my in laws think I am trying to become mannish, because "only men lift weights.". It's frustrating to say the least.

    "ripply" is way better than "dimply"

    My mom and dad the other day. "Women shouldn't look like that." They said that because I flexed my tricep and showed them the crease. I rolled my eyes in response. Sorry, mom, no diabesity for moi! Can't teach old dogs new trix (unless they wanna learn of course).

    I do look more bulky than anything right now, but I'm okay with that. I know what's happening from the inside and in due time, I'll be showing off without even trying.

    BTW, love your arm! It's friggin' badass.

    who cares what other people think... do what makes you happy. I personally like my women a little chunky but that shouldnt stop you from lifting it thats what you want to do

    I'm not to the point where you can see any of my muscles yet..but I can feel them lol. But I do get looks from the guys when I go to the gym like ...what are you doing bothering to lift weights - you're fat...and you're a girl. Don't let people get you down about stuff like that. My favorite saying still is "skinny girls look good in clothes. Fit girls look good naked" . Wear your muscles proudly ladies!!

    You have very strong muscular legs, love it!! It's obvious you work very hard and keep your body healthy!

    OP?:huh: :noway: Good Lawd! :tongue: What a silly comment someone made to you, it's obvious how hard you work at keeping fit and building your muscles. You do NOT look like a male, you have lovely muscles from what I can see in your profile photo...

    Frankly, you inspire me!!!!!!!!! Both of you!:love:

    Thanks for your lovely comments people :)
    I've always been a bit of a fatty bum bum, even when i was skinny skinny i had no muscle definition and was a weakling.
    I still have A LOT of work to do to shift the unwanted flab but i love getting stronger and fitter week by week, I love seeing the changes in my body and achieving new fitness goals. I never thought Id be able to do push ups!
    Glad to see all you girls who think its great to aspire to be physically strong :)

    My mom too, she felt my bicep and said (and I quote) "Ewww its all hard"

    I turned into a bit of a couch potato and lost that, but I'm on my way back. Can't wait to have killer biceps again!

    Nope not me, I use to powerlift heavy, most guy's think it is sexy to mix muscles with a little curves...
