    So glad I came across this thread! I am starting to lift weights more and do less cardio (well I'm currently at NO cardio since I knocked a tendon loose in my foot). I haven't been worried about bulking up, but I have been worried about not being able to lose enough weight! Ready to start

    I was just e-mailing Lea today about how people still bump the shirlit out of her stuff... KISMET.

    Also, I guess I'll throw my hat in.

    <-- Going on 15 months of heavy lifting. Super bulky. No curves. Etc. etc.

    I'm a runner. I lost about 60 pounds and ended up with a muffin top stomach. After I read about lifting, I tried it out just with two 4 pound dumb bells. My stomach is flat, incredible composition change. Also, my arms are toned. Also, I can eat more and not gain. I'd be crazy no to lift, it does wonders to your figure.

    I can't thank you ladies posting above for your pics. Without you is be losing weight, but looking 'fat' for lack of a better word.

    Lifting makes you look everything you ever wanted to look and more. Scale is just a number and low number doesn't necessarily mean you look great.

    no lifting anything other than bodyweight. Bulky? Skinny fat?

    How is this relevant to someone sharing the successes they achieved through heavy lifting.

    Hijacking is probably more appropriate in some other place than success stories. Even if you've never been fat.

    That's cool, thank you for being honest! I find lifting boring so I'm happy being active in other ways. :)


    :huh:


    That's great if that's what you prefer, however, this is OP's success story - Not sure how this post is relevant.

    I can't wait until I'm strong enough to start lifting heavy. I'm only doing dumbells and machines right now, except for weighted squats on the squat rack, but I'm sure even what I'm doing is better than not doing it at all! Once I up the weight of what I'm doing significantly I'd be up for trying something like Stronglifts.
