    If you aren't lifting weights, you're missing an opportunity

    From a 40 inch waist to a 30 inch waistline is a result of burning twice the calories through pumping iron.

    I agree weight training helps soooo much! Great job! You look like a different person, but more importantly I bet you feel like a new person! :)

    I completely agree! I started exercising right after high school, (Curves, mostly). I didn't see any "toning" going on (even while in a deficit), until I started heavy lifting. I wish I started lifting from DAY 1!

    Great job, OP! I'm glad that you are able to SHOW people that weight lifting works, instead of merely telling them. A picture really is worth a thousand words. Maybe more! :smile:

    Good for you man! A few years ago I shed about 40 lbs with eating right using MFP and doing Crossfit. I've since stopped Crossfit and then went on to traditional weightlifting. I got bored, complacent, and put 20lbs back on. Now I'm back doing HIIT and getting ready to lose about 20 more pounds with it. Weights are definitely a HUGE factor in the weight loss struggle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even while at rest!

    Thank you Craigheon! I really appreciate the encouragement. Love lifting now. Just got home from the gym. Arm day. Lol
