    Sorry if this is super annoying. Lots of pictures coming. I'm 5'4" and lift mostly for strength, though I did do a bit of bodybuilding during the bulk.

    The wonderful thing about weight training is that it really DOES transform your body, and if you pick a goal and train with specificity, you can achieve a look you desire. I've gone through different phases.

    The first weight loss phase from 160ish to 133 is in the 4 side by sides below.

    From there I decided I really wanted to gain muscle but was not lean enough, so I started to lose fat again. I dipped down to about 128 here. The beauty is, if I had wanted to stay there, that would have been an alright look as well. It was definitely my smallest.

    Then I gained up to 142-144. I really liked the in between stage around 137 but here was the end result of the bulk. Obviously I gained fat. The next step was to cut again.

    I had a successful cut to 137ish but couldn't hold it. I believe this is the 137 or 138.

    Then I accidentally gained more weight. I'm at 148 in my profile pic and here. I'm not happy here, I'd like to be leaner. But seriously....the booty gains. Don't forget to hip thrust.

    This was my favorite look. A lean day at 137 AFTER I cut from the first intended bulk.

    I also like this look, which is a little heavier. Maybe around 140.

    Your pics always amaze me. :flowerforyou:

    I'm right there with you on the accidental regain. :disappointed: Though I think you at 137 looks leaner than I do at 133.

    I am starting to lift again, and some of my weights are much lighter than before. You are inspiring me to keep going though! I want those arms back !

    restarts are crushing. but hope is great, isn't it? when you know what you're on the way to rebuilding again.

    Hope is wonderful! In the scheme of things, Losing muscle want the worst thing that happened this year, But it did cause a few tears. I can't wait to get back on the wagon, and I will keep coming back to this thread for some inspiration :)

    Thank you. My goal is to compete in my first fitness competition in May. I want to inspire people, especially fellow stroke survivors, to believe in themselves, and never give up on their dreams despite all of the obstacles they may encounter.

    That's a great goal! I hope you keep posting and sharing about your adventures!
