Tremendous results !
Way to go, I Love that last picture!0 -
You look fabulous!!
I'm glad you are not at my gym working out with me. I'd be too distracted admiring your back/shoulders/arms. Those are absolutely gorgeous. However, the biggest difference is in your hips. You have a fantastic athletic body now. Good work!0 -
Way to go! Very impressive, especially dramatic change in hips before and after.0
-
YOU look great, lady. My thighs do a similar thing to your before picture, so this is some serious encouragement for me.0
-
Great work OP! Keep it up.0
-

Keep up the great work.

Nice work~ you look awesome. I am wondering what your definition is of heavy lifting? Can you share some information about your routine?0

I still have 2" to shave off my hips and 0.5" to shave off my natural waist....I'm still not that "happy" with my lower body - but I do like my upper body.
What's not to be happy with? Your body is looking great and doing great things for you!0 -
You look very good. But 33 26 38 is pear-shaped, not an hour-glass.
pfft. I read your bio... you don't just play an @ss in the thread, you are one in RL.
Clearly you like to keep your 'sense of well being' to yourself.
Congrats on the awesome Work OP!0 -

I agree. You do look awesome but there's nothing wrong with being a pear. Pear is sexy too.0 -
I am 44 years old - and dedicated my fitness to heavy-lifting (free weights) for the last 18 months. Before that, it was 25+ years of cardio, cardio, cardio.
I can say that the improvements that have been made over the last 18 months are, to me, UNBELIEVABLE. A true "pear", I aimed to become as close to an hourglass as I could, recognizing that I have zero boobs and I am unwilling to seek surgery.
I am 5'8.5" tall. I weighed in at 146 lbs, today.
I started taking "photos" and "measurements" on January 1, 2012 - 18 months ago. It's now June 29, 2013 - here are my photos and measurements:
I still have 2" to shave off my hips and 0.5" to shave off my natural waist....I'm still not that "happy" with my lower body - but I do like my upper body.
Remember, all things are possible! I have a full-time job. I have severe asthma. I have a husband and a family to take care of. But, above all else, I believe that I owe it to myself to take care of myself. First.
Here's to the next 18 months!!
