in Success Stories
So I decided to go for it...I wanted to share my progress so far after starting to lift heavier weights on a regular basis. I have been doing "New Rules of Lifting for Women," and still have a ways to go (I'm only in the 4th week), but I figured I'd share my "before" and "during" photos to encourage anyone who is considering lifting. I am doing very little cardio, maybe a quick 20-30min on my non-lifting days if I have time. I am down only 10lb from my before picture, but am now a size 4-6 instead of an 8-10, my jeans are looser in the thighs and shirts that were previously tight on my arms are no longer tight. Lots of work to do, still, but I am pleased with my results so far. :happy:

    Having seen this, I went straight to Amazon and bought the book! I already lift, but more information is always good, right? :) Thanks for the motivation.

    Great job! I have heard more and more of the NROLFW. You can really tell a difference in your thighs, I can at least. :flowerforyou:

    Awesome job! You look great even after such little time! Did you change your eating habits in anyway or just follow the lifting program and continue to eat how MFP says?

    Thank you, guys - I do want to say that I had already lost some weight around my mid-section prior to starting NROLFW, but I am definitely more muscular and can feel (and see) everything getting tighter and I have definitely gotten stronger in these few short weeks!

    Thank you :smile: I was doing 1200 calories a day up until I started this program. In the book. he urges you to eat more, especially on lifting days. I now do 1620/1920 (non-lifting/lifting). I generally eat pretty healthy, but I still have my red wine and an occasional treat when I want to. I don't always log my exercise calories, I just up my calories on the days I lift.
