    Yay for strong womens!!! I'm absolutely not there yet, but I've been there before, lifting weights and looking damn good! So I'm going back to it soon. Give me a year and I'll post MY pictures!

    ((I used to weight 119 pounds, no muscles, undereating, and wear a size 11. Then, after lots of lifting and eating enough, I got to 139, wearing a size 7!! So at some point, with lifting, the weight on the scale doesn't matter so much, it's all about composition! But you all know this already. ))

    So, I had some pretty serious residual gastric symptoms for months after having Covid last September and got dangerously thin because I couldn’t keep any food down. I’ve always been a competitive athlete, races, bodybuilding, powerlifting, LawFIt, O-Course style races, you name it. I’ve been training for something since I was 17. And suddenly I couldn’t. I didn’t even know how to plan my week! I didn’t know what to do. I began having a reduction in symptoms early April, and as soon as I could keep a whole meal down I started lifting again. I broke 120 pounds this week and I’m ecstatic. I hope to compete in my next powerlifting meet next Spring. Here’s a photo of me last Easter, thinner than I’ve ever been, and my most recent “progress” photo.

    Wow! That is absolutely amazing. A testament to not only your physical strength now but also the mental strength to get yourself back in the game.
