    This is totally inspirational. :wink: What I want to know is what are some of the protein rich foods people are eating?

    My staples are tilapia, chicken breast, extra lean ground turkey, whey protein powder, plain fat-free greek yogurt, shrimp, lean steaks, almonds, beans...

    Alright, I'll go:

    DSC01716-3.jpg

    Routine:
    I stared with New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women, Stage 1.
    In Jan I switched to more of a body building routine, upper/lower body splits, compound movements followed by isolation moves. 3x8.
    After these pictures were taken I switched to Strong Lifts 5x5 which I really like and recommend.
    I'd do 20-30 minutes of low to moderate intensity cardio 2 to 3 times a week.

    Diet:
    During the time between these pictures I actually ate above my TDEE, between 2800-3500 calories. At least one gram protein per pound of lean body mass, so 125g (but with that many calories it's not hard to go way over that). At least 0.3 gram fat per pound of total body mass, so about 50g.

    Those muscles look good on you!
    Thanks for posting...You're a good example of how gaining weight (in muscle) can be a GOOD thing and that it's about so much more than just the scale!
    Kepp on doin what you're doin, you're doin' it well!

    I'm a little more than halfway through Stage 1 of NROL4W. I think I'm going to take pictures after each stage so I can see my progress. Ladies who lift are hot!!!

    Since people are saying black thong chick is photoshopped

    I seem to miss all the drama. :grumble:

    I saw that thread yesterday but missed the part about photoshopped.


    gotcha, somewhere in there someone(s) accused that picture of being fake, photoshopped...

    Bump!....really want to follow this thread.
    I'm definitely more inspired by the 'fit/toned/muscle definition' look than the skinny waify look anyday :-)

    Well done to all you ladies, hope to have some piccies to post too someday :smile:

    Indeed. He could tell "by the pixels."
