    I always love these threads. Not just for all the wonderful eye candy, but to see the success from everyone. If I get half the success of most of you from lifts I'll be happy. :flowerforyou:

    New lifter here! 3 months in. I wanted to get back the booty I lost while on my year of weight loss and calorie restriction, thus SQUATS are my new fave. I lift 3 days a week (splits) and do cardio and yoga maaaaybe once a week, if that. I may gain or maintain or lose (as I was at my last weigh-in, both inches and lbs), but regardless, I feel really happy lifting and am noticing more results than I've ever gotten in my stints of getting super into running/cardio. These are in order of least to most recent...apologies for drunk face in the last one lol

    I don't have pics. Darn! But I have proof in how my clothes fit. I'm 49. I'm not ripped, but I can wear skinny jeans and I feel/look better than I ever have. There's so much written now on why lifting (and lifting heavy) does not make women bulky, so I hope you can find some of that info for your friend.

    Also, challenge her to try a strength program for just six weeks. Let her make a decision to keep going with it or not after that time period. I think so many women are really intimidated by lifting weights, but I always say go in prepared (I write my exercises down in the notes section of my phone, along w/weight, sets, reps -- teach her all that if you need to.) Practice before you go (visualize), and then go, stay focused, and just do it. And if you need to ask a question, trainers in the gym are usually happy to help.

    After awhile it will be like second nature, and she'll be thrilled with the results!

    You can clearly see how bulky heavy lifting made me [NB: "heavy" is a very relative term here. I lift what is probably very light for some of the more awesome ladies in the thread, but those weights are a huge challenge for me, to the point of failures. So let your friend know,OP, that if she is out of shape like I was, "heavy lifting" for her muscles will probably be very light in the big picture. There's basically no chance it will bulk her up. :P]

    Before Lifting - 134 lbs
