Weight loss is 80% nutrition. Make sure you're still eating correctly. Check of the FB page for Girls Gone Strong to see what women that lift weight look like.

I started with HMR here in Virginia Beach in Aug 2009. I lost 35 pounds and cut my percent body fat in half. I still use the products and have at least one, usually two meal replacments a day.
