    (I'll also settle for, "dude, are you on steroids?").

    Two things: 1. What an amazing job you've done. Congratulations you look fantastic.

    2. If I have a good body should I have my picture showing me with my shirt off instead of a pic of me all paunchy from before?

    The person that accused you of photoshopping is probably just jealous of your muscles, I know I am. Wonderful job, congratulations!:drinker:

    You're a hot, sexy lady!

    Weight training is the bomb for women trying to lose fat and get strong. I'm getting there. This is the strongest and fittest I've been for years!

    Fantastic achievement. You should be very proud! :drinker:

    So glad you are proud of those sexy muscles you have worked so hard to get. I hate when women while about not wanting muscles. It's so way sexier to be shaped than round!

    What do you do for strength training? Machines? Free weights? Push-ups? What's your secret? I need some serious help with the arms.

    At first it was mostly body weight exercises and machines but now I use the free weights. I love bench presses. I have really poor form (long legs, little feet) so I am still working on that for squats and deadlifts and, while I'm trying to improve my form, I continue to use the machines for the bulk of my lower body strength; however, I use free weights and body weight for upper body exercises.
