Still so far, but there is hope! Proof lifting helps!

I'm still so far from where I want to be, and this is only with about 15 pounds lost. But just to prove yet again, lifting helps!

I don't even really lift that much (1x a week at actual gym, about 2x a week with bodyweight/dumbells at home). The rest of the time I dance around like an idiot to Just Dance on the XBox, and I've gotten back into running a bit. I'm still super uncomfortable in the gym weight area, but that is slowly fading. I'm the biggest girl there, but by heck, I will not be for long!

And yes, that is the same person in before and after, I just majorly cut and dyed my hair. This is over about 3 months.

So if I got these results in 3 months with only moderate effort...how much better are the next 3 months going to be when I really get in my A-game???

Hope this encourages some of you, it certainly helped me to see the results. The scale didn't move as much as I had hoped...but pictures don't lie (well...unless they are Photoshopped...but these aren't!).

    Yes, ladies! Lift ALL the heavy things, even if the heavy thing is YOU, it counts and will give you results. Lift and burn! Simple, right?

    You look great. I need to get back to the lifting, I've slacked off terribly. This is a good kick in the pants for me.
