    Wow that's an amazing difference!!! You look fantastic!

    I'm starting weight training tomorrow as I can't do much cardio (and don't like it) because of a chronic injury. Thanks for showing me it works!

    Thank you so much for sharing. My scales have not budged for 3 weeks:( but my clothes are looser and my body tighter tx to weights. I've not really done them properly though. Have only reviewed NRLFW but after seeing your picsI am going to buy. Well done. You look so healthy.

    I am impressed!!! That's awesome! I started officially really making a LIFESTYLE change in January. My February goal was to incorporate strength training, which I did so I do that on MWF. But I'm still a newbie and still just learning the machines and looking into adding free weights. I am 5'1 and I weight 186-200 lbs (depending on the scale! ... I'll say 200 lbs!) I have my calories at 1300 and that's going up from 1200 which MFP says I need but I guess I need to rethink. I have been losing anywhere from 2 lbs - 4 lbs per week but I want to make sure I am eating the correct amount of calories. I need to do some more research.

    Your pictures are AWESOME! You are definitely an inspiration!!!

    Congrats on your amazing results! I am just starting to look into the strength training and ordered the New Rules book. I am hoping to have good results too. I am only 6 pounds from my goal weight, but feel so jiggly. Thinking the weights will do it. Thank you for posting.

    A great testimonial to the power of strength of training for women, and how it isn't all about what the scale says!

    What's great here is that you only lost 4lbs, but it looks like you've lost 20lbs. Goes to show that the scale isn't the best indicator of achieving success.

    That's awesome! I just started lifting a few weeks ago because I've been stalled with my weight loss and focused on cardio. So encouraging!
