Me currently. Have pretty much maintained/cut since last summer.
You're results are incredible!! You said you work out only at home. I'm a college student, so I don't really have a gym I can consistently go to and the one at school has very few weights that all the guys hoard. Do you have any advice on what to do at home/how to get started and do progressive loading?3 -
Photo on left is before I started bulking. Photo on right is current photo after bulking since October 2016 and lifting heavy 2x/week and light 2x/week. I just turned 59 years old 2 weeks ago

Here are more current photos. I'm not as shredded as when I was 125 lbs. (currently 146 lbs) but I can still see I have gained some significant amount of muscle mass in my traps, triceps and delts

I’m 51 and 5’3”. This is a progress picture following a 4 month bulk.

I’m 5’4”. My first transformation was weight loss from 163 to 128 in the first pic. It says 158 so I must have been a month in.
Then I bulked. Failed a cut. And basically accidentally bulked and did mini cuts for 2.5 years and ended up looking like the second set of pics with 20 ish pounds gained. I’m 147-150 in all of the second pics (below the original transformation pic) and 128-130 in the first.
Just goes to show that you can pick a "look" you like and set goals. Some of you might like that thinner look I had better. Some of you might think I look bulky now and others may prefer it. The weight gain/bulk was not an accident. I trained my butt off (and ate a lot).

I love heavy weight lifting. Here is a photo from Dec of 2016 and the other is April 2018.

About 8 lbs I believe. I'm starting to cut a little weight. However, I have signed up for a powerlifting competition in Oct so no big muscle loss for me. I'm keeping it all!2 -

Nice! You look great. Have fun at the meet. I've done a few myself

These are my results. I've been lifting for years but these results are only from the last 12months and the latest pic was taken around Sept last yr as I fell pregnant after that. Still keeping as much up as possible but these were my lifting results - around 9months progress 21 -

@laurenbastug - FANTASTIC transformation! You can tell how hard you have worked these past few months. The difference in your waist from the back is crazy.3

I don't lift and never have, so this is just bodyweight work. But I think it's working okay for me so far. I make sure I do more advanced/harder stuff every few weeks so I keep improving. I might try lifting at some point, but it's not feasible right now.15 -

Tried on my bikini for vacation today! Don't be afraid to lift heavy, ladies. As a mom to 5 kids I'm getting into the best shape of my life.

@DomesticKat, you look amazing! I can't believe you had 5 kids. I love your quads.2
