    My sister was really into lifting and would get told she had 'scary man arms' (she didn't). I will feel I've achieved success the first time someone tells me that. :laugh:

    7. You will be able to open a pickle jar without a man or a knife. No one should possess that much raw power.

    This means more sammiches, right?

    I thought I'd need some popcorn for this thread...turns out, a sammich is all I need especially now that I can open my own jar of pickles!!!

    8. Your bones will maintain a thick density throughout your life. Do you really want to rob a surgeon of your money for osteoporosis treatment?

    I thought there was no such thing as being big boned....

    I comfoozed now.

    3. Pants won't fit because your butt has gotten so big. Imagine actually filling out a pair of pants, the horror!!

    GASP!!! :noway:

    This is fantastic! I read the thread title and thought, "Oh, no. Not ANOTHER thread about how women should do more cardio and less weights."

    Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

    It is pretty funny to watch other people eat. I just went out to lunch with a co-worker of mine, and she got the same thing I did - soup and salad from Panera. She ate it all and said that was her meal for the day. I know she goes to the gym, but I'm not sure what she does there.

    I didn't eat all mine because I did get full, BUT, we got back to the office, and I have some more food waiting for me, and I'm most certainly going to eat dinner tonight.

    Lunch was NOT my only meal!

    11) DOMS. Walking around feeling like a badass because you are sore is so un-lady-like.

    Imma keep my tofu, though.

    I just started lifting two weeks ago and I've never had so much fun. This list made my day. I can't wait until I can lift heavy enough to be that 'unattractive'. :wink:

    I've got one to add! Once your bum gets good and firm, your hubby will be grabbing it all the time. It's so hard to get any housework done when he's all over you! ;)
