I am so motivated by this thread!!! All of you ladies look amazing and inspire me to get back to lifting!!
I recently brought the New Rules of Lifting for Women and think I may give it ago starting on Saturday or Monday.
@BombellshellPheonix damn lady is all I have to say! I hope I can learn to love it as much as you do.1 -
A question to all you amazing weight lifting ladies - do you take protein suplements?
I do. I have a hard time meeting my protein requirements without a shake or 2 thrown in.0 -
All of you lovely ladies!0

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!
Fab work - I am so inspired that you achieved this at home too!0 -
I love seeing all the results on here! I've been back on mfp for about 5 months, but only truly started hitting the weights & dialing in my eating the last 2-3 months. Here's my "before" and "during" pic for this year.
ETA: I'm hoping as I progress, I'll get more definition/muscle in my legs and actually have a booty!8 -
All of you are so amazing!!!
I love strong, inspirational women and also aspire to be one!!
I'm on SL 5x5 right now but sort of fell off this past week or two as things have been hectic and I feel like I'm not sure if I can just stop for that long and just pick back up at squatting 85 lbs...:ohwell: and thought maybe I should go back to cardio more often...but in the past month I lost 1.5 in from my waist, .5 in from my hips, and .25 down from my chest and .25 in down on...one thigh lol pretty much strictly from lifting. I did not weigh myself from Sep. 1 until Sep. 30 and I have actually GAINED weight when I checked on the 30th.
I don't have any awesome before and afters just yet from it, but this is inspirational and I actually DO love lifting I guess I just felt like with the program I was going to mess it up if I didn't stay consistent and lift what it says even if I haven't been lifting for a while prior to that...but I'm going back to it now, no doubt!

A question to all you amazing weight lifting ladies - do you take protein suplements?
I do pretty regularly use protein powders or quest bars. I've been getting better about it and figuring out new creative ways to get more protein from actual food, but a lot of days it's just the simplest way to hit my protein macro!0 -
I like lifting because it takes a long time to lose my results.
Last fall I got really sick and couldn't work out for 3 months, then I got pregnant (more sick) and finally canceled my gym membership halfway through my pregnancy. And yet, not until today, pretty much a full year later, have I lost the great muscle tone I could feel under my fat. I had never had so much muscle and it took a long period of inactivity to lose the benefits.
I think if you are all about just getting skinny, you can lose that pretty fast.0 -
No photos here as you can't see much in the way of definition - YET (have a picky of my shoulder but don't know how to post it!). But my journey so far:
Started January 2013 156kgs (343.2lbs). Began eating clean. Added gym membership in April 2013. Originally 3 x week for 1.5 hrs with a mix of cardio and weights (free and machine).
September 2013 got super serious after switching trainers to one who lifts and only uses cardio to shred for a comp.
As of today I'm 99kgs (217.8lbs) and strong. In the past 2 months I've only lost 600 grams (1.3lbs) but shrank another 12cms (5 inches) from 5 measurement points on my body.
I can't imagine doing anything other than lifting as my exercise and can't wait now that my muscles are slowly starting to show through the last of my body fat.

I didn't see decent progress until I got set up on All Pro. It's on bodybuilding.com for free.
Thanks for mentioning this. I just went to the site and took my test. Tomorrow I'm going to do the arm workouts they recommended. So excited!0 -
