    @Laviegurl25 those results are awesome! That's exactly what I'm hoping to see; my midsection is the worst and the last place I lose. Are you solely lifting?

    I started SL 5x5 in March, but would end up doing more like twice a week instead of the three they recommended. So April is the first month I lifted consistently 3x per week. I haven't lost much weight, but stuff is fitting better. I finally took photos for a point of reference earlier this week...so I can only hope I see that type of reduction in my tummy in 4 months. Awesome job!

    I do a cardio warm up then 30 minute weights on arms one day, shoulder, chest and back another and legs another with a cardio day involved as well. I am at the gym 5-6x a week during my lunch hour.
    I haven't lost weight. Maybe so far 7lbs in those 5 months
    If you stick to it you will definitely see results! Always take pictures!! Haha

    @Laviegurl25. Impressive IMO is when one starts and sticks with a goal rather then sit around and dream or grip. Great results to you and the other posters who have shared.

    Wow only a 7 lb difference! That gives me hope....my scale isn't budging. I'm just down today finally and it's literally only 0.3 lbs. I'm in the gym 5-6 days a week as well, doing SL 3x with the rest being some form of cardio (boxing, dance class, and just started C25K).

    I started weight lifting 10 weeks ago. I have been a runner for two years and started doing it as a cross training thing in addition to the running.

    I should have started lifting a long time ago! I just got my final assessment by the trainer I hired to teach me. I dropped from 38% body fat to 34% body fat in 10 weeks.

    Amazing results! I have been doing a combination of a little cardio (tread,eliptical, bike, row) pretty much what we want to try that day. My goal is to build some cardio endurance but build some strength and keep muscle tone while losing fat but I don't think I will have the dedication or knowledge to do these heavy intense lifts. Is it ok to stick with my routine of some cardio, and then I do 2 sets of 12 at a weight that makes it tough to finish. We do a combination of machines and dumbels not quite ready to go over to where the big kids are haha. Thanks in advance! Keep on crushing it everyone!
