Lea you are sooo inspiring! hehe Now I wanna eat better so I can have abs. lol
Okay so I shudder at sharing this....but oh well. The left pic is pre-lifting. I was doing Jillian Michaels and Chalean Extreme type workouts when that was taken. I was around 175 lbs I think. Lotta flab. The right picture (155#) is after about a year of heavy lifting with a poor diet (I will be the first to admit I would have had better results if I ate better but I love junk food). You don't get the full scope of the changes that took place with just these images but my other ones are too sessay to post and MFP will surely shut them down.
I don't have to stand so far apart for my thighs to not touch now. *yaaaaay*
Measurements went from a 40 to a 34 bra, size 12 to sz 6/8 and I'm too lazy to dig up all the numbers from measuring body parts, so you'll just have to deal but everything got smaller and more compact, definitely not bulky.
Why my pics always come out so big?! GAWWWD. I resized and everything. *pouts*

You, my dear, are a large part of the reason why I posted this thread.
I'll be damned if anyone calls you bulky. You look fabulous, as always.
OP, you aren't bulky. I've looked that that picture and all I really see are long, lean, and toned muscles. You look like what the dancers in my head look like. You might have body dysmorphia if you think you're bulky. I recommend talking to a specialist.
I know you didn't want "bodybuilding poses" but this is the results of a full year of all natural bodybuilding. Took lots of heavy lifting plus special diet and supplements.

Congratulations on your Bulk!!
No heavy lifting, after losing 23 lbs:
One month of heavy lifting, 5/3/1 program
The weight difference from the first to second photo is one pound.
With love,
Burt
And by hyooge I mean effin' tiny. Amazing.
