    You inspire me every day Toni, you're proof that the number on the scale isn't the be all of a gorgeous body, lifting has transformed you - you were always beautiful but now you have a body that inspires envy ... I can't wait to see what you will accomplish next! :)

    You already looked good but now you look fantastic. 10 heavier but so much leaner, great result .

    This thread proves that women lifting weights dont get massive and manly. But in fact get lean and sexy

    Great progress! This is a great example of why you should ignore the scale and ignore comparing stats to others, and just focus on the mirror

    I was going to write a bunch of text but I think this transformation photo will speak for itself.

    In the 2011 photo, I was 39 years old, about 24% body fat,116 lbs, and doing cardio only.

    In the 2014 photo, I am 42 years old, about 16% body fat,126 lbs, and lifting weights has been my focus for the past three years.

    Wow! From 24% BF@116# to 16% BF@126# is an increase in LBM of almost EIGHTEEN POUNDS.

    Very impressive.

    I'm a couple years behind her on the lifting, hoping to get that kind of definition.

    It has definitely inspired me to keep lifting weights. I've been doing it for a few months now. I have way more BF% than you but I definitely feel stronger.
