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!
Thank you !0 -
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!0

I heard Yoga is great but weight lifting will sustain you. You will become a fat burning furnace when you lift weights. Keep up the great work !!!0
