in Success Stories
Okay, about a year and half ago I started this amazing journey and never thought I would be where I'm at now.
I started at 193lbs and am currently 145lbs and recently started doing HEAVY lifting. I've been doing strength training pretty much the whole time, but it was all pretty much free weights. Just not the same effect.
Started heavy lifting a few months ago and am LOVING the results. NEVER did I think that I would hear my husband say that he is "noticing the definition" in my rear. LOL
I've always been very self conscience about my bottom half, hence the reason why you will not find any booty pics anywhere on my profile. And I'm not quite ready to post any yet either. I did take before pics when I first started lifting, but they will NOT be presented until I'm a little closer to my goal.
Just when you think that your significant other isn't looking or paying attention is when they surprise you the most!!!

These are the pics that I have and I will do another post when I hit my BF% goal.

    WTG, You look super great! I have to wait until next month to get my gym membership so I can start heavy lifting and seeing your results just confirms to me that heavy lifting is "the answer"! June 1st here I come.

    Start low. Test the weights before you start. Do a couple of reps. If it seems too heavy, then lower the weight, if it seems to light then up the weight. You should be able to get 10-15 reps with the last couple being difficult to push out. Look online for research. youtube as some pretty good workout videos. Also try bodybuilding.com. I still have to look into that one, but I've heard good things. The trainer that I'm shadowing uses that one for ideas. :D

    I agree you look more confident. I think that's probably more important than what your husband thinks.
