    Thanks for sharing your pics!! Awesome transformations!! Questions for sumiblue:
    1. What changes did you make to your intake? What do you think happened? My intake has been calc'd @ 1350....
    2. Do you work out barefooted? I do so that I can feel the ground better! I figure any athletic shoe wouldn't offer much in the way of protection anyway!

    I increased my calories to 1350 from 1200. I am 46, 5'2". Pretty much as soon as I raised my calories I dropped weight/inches. I'm in the process of raising them again. I've been eating 1500, then 1700 without gaining weight. I do work out barefoot. I work out at home.

    I'm also a newbie and will be starting this program tomorrow. I was doing NROL4W and did have success with it, but I want to try StrongLifts due to the simplicity. The less I have to think about and keep track of, the more likely I'll be to succeed.

    Amazing pics! I started about 3 weeks ago.
    Starting with light weights bc I am not very strong. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better. I have a long way to go.

    A piece of inspiration I have for you is that, after 7 weeks I can squat 100lbs, bench 70lbs and deal lift 145. I am so happy!!!
