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.0 -

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 lol0

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!1 -

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

Wow thank you for the inspiration I'm 194 and I'm more concerned about inches lost and this lets me know that there s hope.0 -

Funny. I guess in my world, weeks = days.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!
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.1 -
All of you look amazing, I enjoy lifting weights too and hope to post some pics up soon.0

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
