The bottom transformation was overall, going from 175-->117 with cardio, weights, and a deficit. The top ones are 117-->117 with maintenance calories and a big focus on lifting.
So incredibly inspiring!! How long did you work at the overall loss, and the recomp?
Man your recomp was phenomenal!! Really enhanced your shape! I was in a deficit lifting and made some great changes then changed my goals to a small bulk to try and grow a little more on the bottom. Your maintenance lifting certainly inspires me to consider stopping the mini bulk and seeing what can happen at my current weight with continuing my progressive lifting...

Amazing job and dedication over all this time- and to all of the others that I see posting your progress pictures All of you ladies seriously rock!2 -
@cassandrarodriguez89, it's hard to tell a difference from your before with the sweater dress and you look like you started relatively lean, but I love the photoshoot and you look phenomenal! Especially for no photoshop. Cute skirt and you look great as a blond.2

I dont have any other pictures showing more skin because I hated being in a bikini, I had no abs so I was insecure

I started heavy lifting 2 months ago and I'm kicking myself for not taking photos then. I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make! I wish I'd started sooner. I've taken photos now and hope I get some of the same amazing results I see on this thread.6

Ok. Im not sure if this was covered or is a dumb question but I'll ask anyways. I'm in the obese category, 4'11 179lbs, so if i lift will that help me lose weight ore should i lose weight first and then tone up? Also should i consult a trainer at gym for this, bc never really lifted weights before as exercise.1

I started at 275 and have zero regrets about lifting from day 1. I'm currently 213 and starting to see those muscles. I hope to post in here when they actually start showing up in pictures. My weight loss has exceeded MFP's predictions. I could be a special snowflake, but I think it's the weight lifting boosting my losses. Even before I could see or feel what I was building under the fat I felt more strong and capable. Things like getting off a deep sofa or the floor and squatting down to get something from a low shelf became easy instead of a struggle that left me out of breath.9 -
I started lifting from day 1 when I was 110kg (240 pounds) and I don't regret it. I started lifting to help with an injury and just carried on with it. I'm now doing HIT as well plus the weights program I originally started with, plus pilates and zumba. Do what you enjoy because you're more likely to keep doing it. I love the feeling of doing the same weight as guys. I see them checking out how much I'm doing.6
