If THAT is not the poster for "don't focus your weightloss goal on a number," I don't know what is. Fantastic results -- I'd take an extra 20 pounds in a heartbeat if they looked like that!

I got a set but so far if I fail I just do the same weight the next week and I've generally been able to finish it that week.
This. I have gotten SO MUCH use out of my fractional plates.
I was thinking of buying 1.25lb ones, or maybe lower?
Also bumping in hopes of seeing more inspiring photos!
Might as well buy a whole set. They're like 30-50 bucks depending.3 -
Some serious inspiration here.1

This one is a little different- the left is me about 6 years ago at about the same weight as the pic on the right but with no exercise at all- I'm younger and wearing makeup so of course I'm cuter, but I'm soft all over with high body fat percentage and very little muscle. The right is me a couple months ago - I'm a bit more toned now and lost a couple more pounds since then, but this picture shows the change in body composition and effect of weight training at the same body weight pretty well.

Hi I have seen lots of mention of strong lifts, 5x5 and strong curves. None of Chalean extreme. is there something wrong with her workout? I have to workout at home and have power block dumb bell 3-24kg.Is there something better I could be doing?
Your transformation photos are all incredible and so motivating.1 -
I have to give this thread props! The first time I read it I wanted to start lifting immediately but it took me forever to gather the courage to go beyond 20 pound dumbells...now I'm 7 weeks into SL 5x5 and I am so excited at how visible the progress is already. I'm sure I'll have a good before/during photo to show off soon! THANK YOU ALL!15

If it incorporates progressive overload, hits all muscles groups and with enough frequency each week it could be fine. What is the program?0 -
This isn't much, but my results from a couple of months of focusing on body decomposition
