in Success Stories
After losing 50 pounds a year ago, I'm finally starting to get somewhat comfortable with my body. I have to say I'm positive it's come from lifting. I'm a runner and that's how I lost the majority of my weight, but now I'm seeing different and better results following the new rules of lifting for women program.

This is me before. 205 on the left, 154 on the right

I took a few shots (the lighting is bad, I'm aware) yesterday and for once I didn't cringe. I'm looking forward to finishing the first stage of NROLFW and taking more pictures and doing my measurements.

    It's so amazing to see you post this. As someone who literally is FINALLY becoming comfortable within my own skin.... It warms my heart to know youre finally feeling comfortable and the same thing.

    I am so proud of you. You're an amazing inspiration and an even better friend.

    You inspire me.

    I thought you were much taller, because you don't look like 154. Well done, looking great

    Incredibly HOT Body.... You have no reason to ever cover up.... Or be uncomfortable about your body....
    The only reason you should ever cover up is if it is cold...... LOL....

    Congratulations...
