Here are my most recent ones. Started lifting light weights in January of this year, then in June, I added bodyweight exercises and heavier lifting. All at home and I love it! Still have 20-25lbs to go!
-Mouth dropped- We are similar stats I am loving your thighs and arms, I will be there soon!
Congrats you look fab!0 -

Genesia-you look amazing!! From where will you lose more weight? You look fabulous!!
Luvmydawgs-wonderful!, love that you did it with just lifting, no cardio! I'm always thinking about adding more cardio to accelerate fat loss, but don't really have time or desire to do so. Very inspiring! You look great!1 -
WOW, You ladies rocked the weights and look incredible!! keep up the hard work!!0

That picture covers my first 18 months of progress, but it's all the more clear in the videos linked below.
My progress pictures to music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga8rQ_M_myE
My latest powerlifting competition:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OvosAH2o0g
I'm 16kg (35.2lb) lighter now than I was in that first picture, but I've also gone from a sporadic cardio bunny to a record breaking powerlifter (Scottish 63kg squat record).
Squat: 20kg (March 2013) to 120kg (September 2014)
Bench: 20kg (March 2013) to 67.5kg (September 2014)
Deadlift: 20kg (April 2013) to 120kg (September 2014)
Barbell rows: 20kg (April 2013) to 52.5kg (August 2014)
OHP: 10kg (March 2013) to 45kg (August 2014)
I can do pull-ups, I can out-lift a lot of men and I have an *kitten* that I'm proud of for the first time in my life!2 -

This is so motivating but I'm still hesitant to take the plunge
Did any of you ladies start lifting when you still had a lot of lbs to(>30) lose? and did you know your BF%?
This may sound silly but I don't know if weight lifting will give me the results I want given my stats and goals
Height 5.05'
Starting weight 217lbs
Current weight 161
Goal weight ~125-135
current (actually end of aug) BF% 29.3
Goal BF% ~20%
I want to lose fat and be toned and have a flat belly, I don't want overly defined arms or six abs, be defined I mean you can see it without flexing0 -
Would you guys recommend StrongLifts over circuit training then?
I'm just trying I get back into exercise. I have a child so limited time to exercise in.
I've signed up to a month of circuit training 3 x a week but I'm planning what I'll do afterwards.0 -

<---- this is what 8 months of heavy squats did for my booty.
Just got to 275# on my back squat at 5'1" and 115 lbs, which I'm pretty dang proud of after starting from nada. I mean if anything was going to make me "bulky" orsomesuchnonsense, it would be that.
*highest of fives* to all the bad *kitten* ladies in this thread.

Pretty f*cking awesome!0 -
A question to all you amazing weight lifting ladies - do you take protein suplements?0
-
I use protein powder sometimes. Not every day. But if I end up down on my protein macro I'll have a shake to bump it up. Only if I'm down though - most days I get the protein high enough from my food.0
