    Fantastic! Can really see the definition in your pose facing away from the camera / back view. :) your arms are great, and legs much smoother. You must be thrilled!

    now.. If i could get a bikini body it'd be amazing! lol

    I've gotten many miles out of that bikini! Here's the full progression...

    I wish I had back view photos from the beginning. But I have from the end of March onward.

    You look fabulous! And I'm so encouraged to read that you did this with weight machines rather than free weights. I'm still so leery of free weights, but I'd be thrilled to get results like yours from the machines!

    I believe free weights are better, but the machines are much less intimidating. Plus, I belong to Planet Fitness and their free weight options aren't that great.

    I typically do (did) full body twice a week... making a round of all the machines, doing either 2 sets of 12, or 3 sets of 8, as heavy as I could. Start with about ten minutes on a treadmill, bike or elliptical to get warmed up, then hit the weights for about thirty minutes, then I'd do more cardio just because it's a pain in the butt for me to go to the gym, so I don't want to spend more time commuting to and fro than I spend there. :happy:

    i use a planet fitness as well, strength training is all what you make of it, you can do it with anything, any where. But the results don't lie........I do little to no cardio. Its unecessary for weight loss. A little bit is necessary for general health. Great Work!

    bump to share with daughter who has no need to lose weight but is embarking on strength training. I've been on my own journey for 8 months and still going strong. Slow and steady.

    Amazing you look great. Just turned 30 and just started NROL4W this week, weight training has been good to you, I hope its good to me too, up'd my calories from 1230 to 1600-1900, and lost 1lb already. Maybe people are right my 30's will be better then my 20's :)
