Women: How much do you lift?

Just finishing up stage one of NROLFW, (about 8 weeks). Been doing my weights at the gym more lately, so I've been able to push my self a little more. Anywho, may not be much to many people, but I'm pretty proud of myself here. Lol.
Deadlifts: 100lb's
Weighted squats: 80lb's
Shoulder press: 50lb's0 -
I will share some all 3 sets of 8:
squats: with adding 5lbs on each time, last time I lifted I did 25 each side, then 30, then 35lbs
bench press: 10 lbs each side, plus a bar that I couldn't tell you what it weighs
seated leg press: 125lbs, 137.5lbs, 150lbs
ab machine: 125lbs, 137.5lbs, 150lbs
bilateral pull down: 50lbs, 62.5lbs, 75lbs
the list goes on, mind you I also do 15 minutes of cardio in between weight lifting (first elliptical, then treadmill, then bike for cool down. So the elliptical then lower legs, treadmill, then upper body and abs, then bike). I only lift 2 times a week right now because of everything else I do (I run, do Insanity 3 times a week and dance due to my minor at college 2 times a week). I plan on increasing it to 3 times a week once the semester ends.
It might not seem like a lot to people but for me, it's huge. Considering I was told I would never weight lift again back 9 years ago due to an injury to my elbow, I am pretty proud of myself. I try to increase weight each set, with 30-60 second rest.

I was at the gym earlier. I squatted 40 kg for 3 sets x 5 and 2 x 5 sets with 35 kg. I benched 25 kg for 3 x 5 sets and 2 x 5 sets with 20 kg. I did 5 x 5 sets of 25 kg barbell rows. I weigh 75 kg and am 1.64 m tall.0

I just finished Stage One of New Rules of Lifiting for Women. I'm only small and starting from scratch so my weights aren't too heavy.
Squat : 37.5kg
Deadlift: 30kg
Wide-lat pulldown: 27kg
I should read that book
Don't worry about how light you lift, I have been going for a couple of months and aren't doing very heavy
Lat Pulldown: 30kg x2x8
Seated Row: 17kg x2x8
Bench Press: 25kg x2x80 -
Back squat 58kg
Deadlift 64kg
Benchpress 32.5 kg
Front squat 45kg
Working on my power clean but struggling just using 20kg bar0 -
Squat 120 lbs
Bench 100 lbs
Deadlift 140 lbs
OHP- 40 lbs (gotta work on this)
Bent Over Rows 100 lbs0 -
Oh wow, I thought I was lifting great until I read some of what you ladies are capable of!
(I'm not shaming myself...I know everyone starts somewhere! And what I'm lifting now is heavy for me and that's what counts, right?)
Dumbbell shoulder press: 15lb each hand (3x12)
Barbell squat: just hit 85lb last time I did legs!! (3x12)
Lat pulldown: 70lb (3x12)
I love lifting weights! I just started getting into it again this fall after I realized I lost some muscle/strength after not eating any meat since January. I'm now in the process of continuously educating myself on building muscle and vegan sources of protein.
Right now, I'm doing Jamie Eason's LiveFit program from Bodybuilding.com and am in Week 3. I'm so new to this that I have no idea what people mean when they say NRLW or pyramid workouts!
