    So true! That's exactly why I'm honest when people ask me what I'm doing to lose weight and get fit. Many of my friends were skeptical when I started, but physical proof of results can sway anyone. When ppl ask, I tell them all about how I dead lift and eat 2000 calories a day and don't burn myself out with cardio 7x a week, and instead do it moderately. I want them to understand that the key for a woman to get in shape does not automatically equal 1200 calories and 3 hrs of running a day.

    There are so many ways out there to get results, but this way really is what has worked best for me and I want more people to try and see if it can be their solution too. I hope your girlfriend gives a a try for even just a month and gets great results!

    ^^^ love this!!! your results are amazing chica!! i'm on week 2 of SL and LOVEEEE it. i already see changes in my arms and i LOVE how it makes me FEEL so much stronger.

    i took pics when i started, hopefully my month-to-month progress looks even half as good as yours!!

    You look awesome :) I just started lifting weights at the gym and ... ok this is TMI, I know, and I'm sorry, but last night I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend and he said "You're looking good. When we were having sex just now, I couldn't help looking at you and thinking 'damn, my girlfriend looks good!'" Lol. He was definitely skeptical of my lifting weights. I think he thought it was a stupid idea. But it's only been like 3 weeks and I can already tell it's making changes to my body. I love it.

    Ahahahahah, great NSV!

    In my goals on my page it says "To look good not only in clothes, but out of them."

    Lifting does things for your body that no amount of hours on an elliptical could do! ;)

    You rock!!!! My hero!!!

    I heard this and i think you are proof that it is pretty much true: one pound of muscle looks about like one stick of butter. One pound of fat looks like 4 sticks of butter. They weigh the same but muscle takes up less space. You look much lighter than your actual weight and have most likely lost several inches. Besides being healthy isn't that our goal... to be smaller?!

    Thank for the updates and being a great inspiration to many!!!

    This can't be your third month lifting heavy. Because by the posts from a lot of ladies on MFP, you should have magically transformed into She-Hulk overnight, probably in between your first and second month of lifting anything beyond those "toning" 5 lb baby rattles at the far end of the rack.

    Wait? What? Women don't instantly turn "bulky" just by stepping into the free weight section at the gym? Who knew???

    Great job! Your results are fantastic and you look terrific.

    Haha, true. I definitely don't think I'm an anomaly. I have a long way to go, but I hope my results will help out those ladies who think lifting will make them blow up. I was once one of those women because I've always had muscular legs but never knew that the reason they sometimes looked bulky was because there was a lot more fat than I thought there was mixed in with that muscle. Now my legs have just as much muscle, but with the fat gone, I get compliments on them all the time. They don't look "manly" at all either!

    It's so amazing how the scale just doesn't tell the "truth" but the in he's and body fat percentages do. I am 5'10" and weigh LESS than you but yet look insane soft compared to you.

    Awesome work and you have lots to be proud of.
