    I use StrongLifts 5x5 workout for heavy lifting.
    It's only 3 days a week 45 minutes each, and the results ROCK
    Great for burning Fat, Building Muscle, and Tone.
    their website has plenty of videos and success stories.

    I also do the strong lifts 5x5 program. I would really recommend looking at YouTube videos and practicing with an empty bar until your form is correct, I spent a lot of time on my squat form and i think i finally have it! Get that arss to the grass lol

    In for inspiration! Been lifting for just under a month - reading New Rules but hoping to start Stronglifts tomorrow. I tried the deadlift cage out for the first time on Friday and did alright but was too scared to try squats lol! ;f

    Unfortunately I don't have my pic from when I was 240 pounds but I didn't start lifting weights until last May. I didn't start lifting free weights until a month ago. The only difference I see in January vs April is my bat wings aren't as long. LOL! I want to fill all of that in with muscle but it will take some time. It's a slow go but it's so worth it!

    Starting weight: 260

    Left: 210 (Before I started to lift heavy)
    Right: 197 (Been lifting heavy 3 times a week with 30 minute cardio right after and another 30 minutes of cardio on one of my rest days)

    I've only been lifting heavy for two months so I don't have any real muscle definition that you can see but damn! It sure has helped with belly fat. Strong lifts 5x5 :3

    Everyone is amazing! For those who are new to lifting, just remember this:

    It takes 4 weeks for you to see a difference;
    8 weeks for friends and family; and
    12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice.

    Don't give up and keep up the good work!
    Funny. I guess in my world, weeks = days.
    I have had 3 major lifting sessions with my trainer and 2 alone in the last 8 days and my male co-workers have DEFINTELY noticed.
    I noticed in 4 days; my fiance noticed and is getting jealous of my guns.

    Thanks to all of you for posting all these inspirational photos!
    Great job, Ladies!

    Well... here's what I've learned after 26 pages of inspiration.
    1) Weights - They do a body good.
    2) I need to stop whining & start lifting
    3) Logging off MFP
