    You look AMAZING!!! I am doing a lifting program right now. I LOVE to lift just really need help with my diet. I don't eat bad just not enough maybe or I know I dont get my protein in.

    LOL!!!! I love that...skinny fat! It's so true though. I see a ton of people who cut major calories or take skinny pills but never put any work in on the lifting. I mean you don't even have to go crazy. Like you said do a little research online and find out what people are saying. Heck! I came across a youtube vid a while back of a "Russian" (slavic) trainer who was giving all this great info for free.
    Come on Killer! You can do it!

    This is why! When you picture yourself you your goal weight, what do you look like? I picture myself tone and lean. Lifting is what gets you that look! Huge calorie deficit and strictly cardio and I would have lost more muscle and stayed "skinny fat" Here is a little update on my muscles! I lift HEAVY and I am not bulky.

    Don't wait to "tone"!! Start now and look better at your goal weight :]

    134 lbs:

    123 lbs:

    only 10 pound difference. Scale weight is not important! What is important is that it looks like i lost more and couldn't be happier!

    Don't wait to lift... do it as soon as possible! :D

    ETA: Okay colombian here it is: xD

    for an added note:Don't be afraid of free weights! They are your friend. Compound lifts rock :]
    Get those squats and deadlifts in! You will have amazing results. I promise you :]
    Nice girl! At your weight and squatting free weight 135lbs is amazing! Always good to see strength training with no fear!

    Love, love, love this post! You look simply amazing and you deserve a big round of APPLAUSE! I've read all the posts so far in this forum and have found lots of good links for weightlifting already. I've been doing weightlifting, but not as consistently as I should. Thanks for the motivation! I appreciate you :flowerforyou:

    Congrats on your success! I'm glad u post this. I recently discovered that I wasnt toning as much as I wanted
    to because I wasn't eating enough. I do HIIT. My calories were at maintainace(before I got pregnant). when I'm done
    having my baby I'm gonna eat over although I'm yet to figure what percentages should that be.
