Here are a couple of my "during" pics. All of March I did a combo of running, Zumba and calisthenics using 7lb weights. My weight was 168.4 with close to 34% body fat. In a month I lost 6 lbs, but my body fat was still at 33%. I decided to cut back on cardio (elliptical or light running twice a week) and started the Stronglifts 5x5 power lifting program. Since then I have only lost another 3 lbs, but my body fat is now at 28%. Not to mention, I am much stronger. Here are my current stats:
Squats - 115 lb
Bench - 85 lb
Pendlay rows - 90 lb
Overhead press - 70 lb
Dead lift - 145 lb
I still have a long way to go, but hopefully my progress so far will motivate someone to pic up some weights! :)
a long way to go :s you look amazing hun, i wouldnt lose much more. i have done the same thing, i was losing a few lbs a week, but it wasnt showing on the tape measure or in the mirror so ive started p90x this week, i feel loads stronger already. well done chic u look fab xxx

Thank you for the support! Changing it up always helps when things slow down. It reenergizes you and you try that much harder! Good luck to you!

Strength training is so much more than going to the gym and lifting heavy weights. Strength training exercises can benefit your heart, strengthen your bones, help you lose weight, and it burns more calories than cardio. Aside from burning calories, strength training also makes you stronger and gives your muscles that chiseled/toned look. Thanks a lot.

Well done!
I do 2 days cardio, 3 days strength a week. Best combo imo.

This is great and very inspirational. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up on the numbers on the scale.

Good luck, though I'm sure you're doing great! It's been almost another month and I've only lost another 1.4 lbs so far since May 5th, but I'm down a bunch more inches everywhere so there is still progress being made, slowly but surely!

One step at a time!

Thanks, man! It feels great to actually see results now that I've been focused for almost three months. Harder than I expected, but worth it.

WOW.... you look Amazing!!!! I'm currently where you were in your first pic. However I dont think I look that good! LOL... I guess we all see ourselves differntly. Well I wanted ton congratulate you on your success. That is awesome! Im currently doing p90x and I was wondering what avenue I should take when Im done, I start my last 30 day phase tomorrow. Which p90x does incorporate weights and cardio evenly. Well my dear once again Kudos to you... YOU ROCK GIRL! keep it up...
