    Hi all you wonderful amazingly fit ladies,
    Finally decided to bite the bullet and take the plunge toward heavy lifting. I had lost around 20 pounds with walking and calorie deficit only to put it back the moment I decided to loosen my dietary restrictions a little bit.In the past I had tried strong lifts but moments my arms start looking big( which I know is the fat on top of it) and the scale goes up I panic and I quit. But this time I will throw the scale and just be patient
    So Anyways,I googled all the programmes suggested on this post and I wanted to start with all pro. Can someone please tell me if they have done this programme and if yes the results it has yielded and also send me a link so that I know it's the right one I am reading about???
    Much appreciated

    hey everyone, looking great! Keep up the good work!

    I'm totally new to weight training. I never liked it, and spend hours in the gym doing only cardio. Ended up hating that too. A few months ago I started working out with FitnessBlender and bought some dumbells for their routines. I love using them!! Seeing your results from lifting weights, I bought heavier dumbells and eventually I hope to join some lifting programm in the gym to advance further. Can't wait to make some more progress!

    June 2013 vs Sept 2015. Once I fixed my NUTRITION, everything else fell into place.

    What kind of meals do you typically eat?

    arditarose you look amazing!!!!!! if you don't mind me asking what is your calorie goal is when you are cutting? I lift heavy weights 4-5 times a week (compound lifts) and although I feel like I am putting in the work the scales will not budge in almost 18 months despite eating 1500 calories and weighting (on a food scales) all my food and tracking everything!
