    Thought i would also add in my current numbers. I weigh 163lbs right now. When i started lifting, i started with just an empty OLY bar, so 45 lbs and NOW...

    My current PRs (lbs):
    Back squat - 185 X 4
    Conventional deadlift - 225 X 4
    Overhead press - 70 X 5
    Bench press - 105 X 4
    Bent Over Row - 115 X 5

    You look amazing and I would *love* to get this strong! So inspiring!!!:heart:

    So motivating! I just started my weight loss journey seriously about 6 weeks ago and my husband convinced me to start lifting 2 weeks ago. I've been enjoying it so much! I love the challenge!

    Impressive numbers!!! I love seeing numbers like that, particularly when women post them. :wink:

    I started like you did, eating too little and doing endless cardio. I got on the weight machines maybe once a week, but most of the time I opted for cardio because it burned more calories. :ohwell: I started lifting at the end of last December and never looked back. I am in love with lifting and how it makes me feel! I look forward to going to the gym, which is not something I really did before I started lifting.

    Thank you for sharing your story. You are such an inspiration. Hopefully a few more women will pick up a barbell and start lifting after reading your story.
