Here I am in July 2011 at around 180# (I'm 5'9"):
I've always had an active lifestyle but over the course of a few years some excess weight snuck up on me when I started back at school and fell into a more sedentary routine.
This is me in March of the following year after getting back into a good routine of weightlifting and regular physical activity @170#:
And here I am in July 2013 at around 165#:
I lift weights three times a week, do cardio, and eat a small deficit when I want to lose weight. I like the slow and steady approach.
Thanks for sharing all your transformations. Pleased to add mine to the mix :-)
Cheers!

Here's another pic of me in August 2011 halfway through a two-day bike event I was participating in. I hadn't started weight training yet:

Lifting made me bulky too and I LOVE it:) I looked like this after I had my second baby:( YIKES!! (159lbs, 4'11)

Lost some weight(15 lbs) doing p90x/insanity but still looked like a marshmallow. Started Stronglifts 5x5 in Feb. of this year. I have gotten so much definition and lost 18ish more pounds. I feel like a rock star every time I deadlift weights that are heavier than me:) Before, I struggled to lift my very small kids that weigh 35 and 26 lbs.
I would rather be "bulky" than fluffy any day of the week!!!! (123lbs)
I am not done yet but wanted to share my experience with heavy lifting!10 -
