Great job girls!

I have a question about lifting. I have a knee injury. Do you think that heavy lifting would affect that? I'm thinking of doing stronglift but I'm not too sure if it will aggravate my knee.

Bumping for all the awesome!

Hi there,
Amazing results.

This is a portion of my lifting routine, is this a good starting point?
I do not have the strength to lift any heavier.
My goal is to loose 40lbs over the next year.
At best i loose .75lb a week

Exercise Set

Mid row machine 2/3 sets 12-15 ( 10kg)
Dumbbell row 2/3 sets 12-15 (5kg each)
Seated/standing dumbbell shoulder press 2/3 sets 12-15 (3kg each)
Standing forward raise 3 sets 12-15 (3kg each)
E z bar upright row 3 sets 12-15 (6kg)

The current plan is to lift 2 days per week arms + upper body one day, legs the next.
I do 2 kettle bell class and 3 aqua aerobic class 45 minutes each per week.
Eating about 10% below allowance at a minimum daily.

I started heavy lifting recently and am hoping for awesome results!!!

you look thinner than 191, but you forget muscle is heavier than fat. good job.
