Starting weight was 210, current weight is 185. Better progress than I ever hoped to see. Can't wait to see what the next 3 months bring.
Awesome transformation!!!

I am 57 years old. I have no idea how much I weigh now. I last weighed around 142 and my goal weight is 125. I got down to 135lbs and was a size 10. Then March 1, 2015 I started doing strong lift 5x5. I then lost 17 inches and am now a size 5-7 depending on fit. I also went from doing 21 to 24 hours of cardio every week to ZERO I only do strong lift 5x5 for an hour every other day. I also changed from eating 1260 calories to 1600 +. I started lifting with a 12.5 lb bar and now lift 109 lbs squat, 100lb sumo squat, bench 83lbs, barbell row 89lbs, over head press 62lbs, and deadlift 137lbs.

Two things to keep in mind. I am 5'6 and 216 lbs.... so technically considered obese. I do have plenty of meat (working on that!), but there is no part of me that feels or looks obese. Love lifting!!! And no... I never make my bed

Only six months? Really? I must be doing my training wrong. Been at it since before Christmas, have had results but no where near your results. DAMN, girl!
My training is not as awesome either. But I'm starting to see my results finally0 -

<--- I lift a bit.
Pics or I don't believe you
:flowerforyou:
:happy:
Before I started on MFP (and before lifting and eating at a deficit) - about 185lb
Me at the end of my cut after a little over a year, lifting the whole time - about 148lb
With clothes on - probably about 151lb if I recall
Towards the end of my recent bulk - 158lb
Sorry for the pic bomb.
You did awesome!!

Well hey. I've been reading this for over a year and getting so much inspiration! I've been lifting on and off now for 1,5 years, and have my own gym at home now. Started with 12 kg kettlebell, and now free weights up to 150 kg. The last year was hard and I didn't have the opportunity to train until June this year. I feel I'm strong and fab but when I see my pics I don’t look anything like I feel, or maybe in the lower middle pic. The newest, lower right, I only look fat to my eye. The pt told me that with my weight if there weren't any muscles I'd be huge
But still, I feel like I'd need some support!
The pictures are dated left upper 10 years ago, left middle 3 years ago, and then the rest are taken in about the time of last year, and are timelined.

If lifting is wrong then I don't want to be right. Start weight was 245 lbs I started out with cardio but about 6 months into my weight loss journey I discovered lifting and never looked back. I wish more women weren't afraid to lift heavy. It is such an empowering feeling you get when you do.
