Bikini/Fitness Competitor Question
My trainer has suggested that I train for a competition of some type. After losing as much weight as I have (112 lbs), he feels like I could be successful. I guess my brain hasn't quite caught up with what I see in the mirror, so I'm a little reluctant to believe I even have the right type of body to even dream about these…

Leg/Weights Success?
Has anyone had a dramatic leg transformation using weights? If so, can you post pics? If there's already a similar thread, my apologies, can you direct me there?

StrongLifts 5x5

My lower body is definitely much stronger than my upper body. I struggle more with the upper exercises, so I hope to see improvements soon!

Last week I posted my story. I posted pics in my "mom suit" and said how happy I was with it. And I was. I also said I'd never get into a bikini. Well, this weekend, I went and bought one! I haven't lost, but I've been lifting, and have def. tightened up. I have kiddos, so certainly not perfect, but I'm so stoked! :-)

102 lbs lost!
I have lost 102 lbs in just over a year and a half, using portion control, running and lifting heavy. 43 of that was lost here, using MFP. I am 33 (soon to be 34) and have had 2 kids, one c-section. I don't have any photos of myself at my heaviest, as I didn't let anyone take pics of me. My before is when I started using…
