Hi there, I felt exactly the same when I started reading around about strength training. Stronglifts 5x5 is a good beginners program, there is a Stronglifts 5x5 group and there are lots of women who are always willing to help. Best of luck! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/4601-stronglifts-5x5-for-women

Congratulations on taking control of your health. Amazing results!

Very interesting to see the difference. You are inspirational!

Congratulations on your results! Im relatively new to this and there will be other people who will be able to advise you better, but from what I have read you can do 3 things here: 1. You can continue eating at a small deficit to get to 60kg. 2. Look into body recomp- where you eat at maintenance in order to gain muscle…

That's incredible! Amazing transformation!

Congrats so far. You look great :) I love your new hair colour too!

Thanks for the responses, I weigh 129lbs. So If I need to eat 0.6-0.8g of protein per lb; I need to eat between 77g to 103g per day. So far, I have been eating around 90g on my lifting days and around 50g on my non lifting days. I did a quick average of the amount of protein I have been eating per day over the last month…

Love your story! You look incredible! Thank you for sharing..x

I would love to do yoga but it sounds complicated, I'm going to check out the links other posters have posted and see if there is an easy at home yoga routine I can get into. I did pilates a few years back so i am confident at doing the moves.

Thank you ladies for your advice! I mainly want to improve flexibility and strength, although I like the additional (stress/anxiety relief) benefits of yoga, It just sounds like it would be too complicated for me to do at home with proper form. I will look into home Pilates dvds and do yoga at some point later on when I…

You look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. Xx

Great results! :)

Thanks, will watch later x

thank you for sharing.

Im having the same problems as the OP. Im going to continue to deload and try again until I get strong enough to progress up a weight. I have fractional plates too. If not, then i will try what other members like girlie100 have suggested. Im trying to lose body fat so Im not worried too much about progressing in weights…

Hi there, There is a support group you can join called P.C.O.SIS, the members there will be able to help advise you on what you can do. Ive added the link below: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/3070-p-c-o-sis Best of luck! x

Oh my God, I LOVE them! There is just nothing better in the World to eat than a packet of Walkers S+V crisps. When I binge, I get through 6 packets a night. Im sure I would not be here on MFP trying to lose weight if they were not invented! :grumble:

oh wow! you have an amazing figure, congratulations so far on your results! :smile:

Your results are incredible!! Speechless!

"The chihuahua should not eat the same as the great Dane" :laugh: Great results! Congratulations

Amazing job girl! Love love Insanity! Hope people get inspired to start Insanity because your results!

Thanks for this. v useful

For me, I have noticed that lifting heavy is psychological. If I believe I can do it, then I can. I feel like I'm building mental strength as well as physical lol. During TOM/PMS, I generally get emotional and feel low so my confidence and therefore my workouts suffer-not because my body is any weaker than any other time…

Thank you everyone for sending friend requests and replies. I will be patient and hopefully see loss in inches/lbs in weeks to come. Looking forward to going through this weight loss jpurney with you all :)

I loved reading this! Congrats and thank you for sharing your story! X

Amazing results! Was that with just 1 round of insanity???
