Wow! Just Wow!
You ladies are amazing!0 -
This is my current before/after. I am right around 190 now. The first part of my transformation was pretty much cardio. I have been lifting heavy for the last 8 months as well as HIIT for my cardio. I am slowly starting to get some definition.
You look great how did you get calves like that, im jealous!0 -

I have a question for all the weight training ladies! Did any of you use a protein shake, or a protein powder (same thing I think), or some sort of supplement?
I drink muscle milk occasionally, but I was wondering if anyone took something similar and got great results? I want to cut body fat % while gaining muscle.
Ahhh! These pictures are so motivating! You ladies are doing awesome!0 -
This is the difference in a year ... about six months of lifting heavy ...

I can't speak for other women, but I try to get all of my protein from my food. I aim for 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass, which adds up to about 125g of protein for me.0 -

Thanks! I love leg days! For calves, my favorite is standing calf raises with a smith machine. I am up to 250 lbs. Any leg exercises will help.0 -
Yep I try to get as much protein into my diet as possible as I am a vegetarian. I use a scoop Optimum Nutrition's Double Chocolate Protein Powder shaken/stirred into water or milk after my workouts particularly and sometimes first thing in the morning (a good way to kick start your metabolism). You can also mix it into food (oatmeal, yogurt etc.) Personally I also LOVE LUNA Protein Bars. They're not low/no sugar like some others I've tried but they're all natural so I justify it that way because they're just so yummy. Other bars will do the trick though, so find one you like. And of course, finding as much protein in your diet through good ol' food is always key! Greek yogurt is another one of my go-to's.
Hope this helps!! My pics are further back in this thread if you curious to see my results. I have found that protein is a great way to hang on to and build your muscles as well as to stay full throughout the day.0 -
Bump for more awesomeness.0

Amazing!!!!!0 -
Perfect timing for me to see this thread. I got derailed after feeling pretty good for a while.
Now, I'm back at it and looking for reassurance that it will change my body the way I want it to.
Thanks to you all for putting yourselves out there and encouraging the rest of us.0 -
Bump, for the inspiration!!0

Hi, incredible achievement! Do some people you haven't seen in ages stop and stare at you with disbelief? I can't recognise you in the before and after pic. Different people!!!0

um i need to start lifting0

These threads are truly my favorite. You all are so badass and great!!
I got halfway through stage 5 of NROLFW and started to just tire of the exercises. There were some I didn't like and the routines were getting too long to fit in my lunch break. I've since switched to stronglifts 5x5 and am a few weeks in and LOVING it. The simplicity of it and noticeable improvements make me excited to get on with it every day.
Now to just clean up the diet part... :P1 -
Bump for later. Way to go Gals!0

Bump!! Love this topic, you all look AMAZING!0
