    2 to 3 months for muscle definition, but a lot of that contributes to fat loss. Strength gains were pretty rapid.

    Really? Because your picture looks pretty bulky :\

    I dont think you know what that word means.

    I think her picture looks fab! If that's bulky, sign me up!

    As to the OP, I noticed my muscles harden after 3 weeks. I was obsessed with touching my quads because I loved how they felt! I've only been lifting for about 9 weeks and visually, I started seeing changes around week 5. This week I've noticed my shoulders feel a lot harder and I can see them ripple when I get dressed in the mornings. I <3 lifting!

    Upper body strength started to improve within a week. About 3 weeks for muscles to start to feel harder. I need to lose the fat now so I can show them off

    My strength increases were pretty quick, as in going up in weight and endurance. As for changes in my body, it took a couple months of consistent training at least 3 times a week. If you think about it, your muscles aren't getting bigger, it takes a calorie suprlus for that, you have to burn the fat on top of the muscle to see it's definition and tone.

    It took me a couple of months, maybe even three, but now 7 months later I am so proud of my changes. I'm doing body recomp though so it's a lot slower.

    I've been lifting for 2 months and haven't seen much changes however I don't consume enough protein. Could that be what's slowing down my process?

    I've only been strength training for 2 months now and I think I noticed visible results after about a month and a half. I've gotten firmer and also stronger during this time.

    First visible changes after a month. Rounded butt, thinner waist and thighs, back muscles, visibly melted CELULLITE! Weight went up and centimeters down.

    That's what I keep reading in posts in some of the other threads. I just upped my protein, and I'm hoping to see some more results. It's hard for me to get in that much protein. 3-4 ounces at a meal is about my limit.

    Observable changes took about a month for me - got noticeable biceps and my calves changed a bit in shape and got very hard. And so did my ample bum. And I'm only a month and a half in. Weight hasn't changed much, but I'm firmer than I was even when I was thin. So that's awesome.

    I started seeing strength results quickly. My biceps popped a bit within a few months, and I got delt definition after about six months. I am a pear shape, as someone else mentioned, upper body develops way faster for me than lower. Lower body i have more strength gains, less definition. Didn't start seeing the progress I was looking for there until I was on a cut for a solid three months. (and still not quite where I want to be. ;) )
