Shout out to all the girls starting weight lifting

I just want to start by saying I’m proud of you. Just remember, you CAN lift some heavy ass weight, you deserve just as much of a place in the weight room as the other guys. You’re taking a huge step, and don’t let anyone tell you lifting weights will make you look “manish” or won’t help with your goals at all. Know something? You might not lose weight if you start lifting weights. Know what you will lose? Fat. Know what else you will gain? A firm, slender, figure. Just remember, the stronger you get, the better you will look. You may be the only girl in the gym and that’s OKAY. I know you might think everyone is judging you but I promise everyone else just wants to focus on their own workout. Keep at it, and soon others will look up to you in the gym.

I’m talking from experience-I’ve been lifting weights on and off for about 4 years now. I was about 16 when I started lifting, yet still looked like my chubby middle school self. My mom bought herself a book about weightlifting for women, and I started following the plan outlined in her book. I was SO self conscious when I started, I’d only lift light dumbbells in my living room while I watched Netflix. But I kept at it and soon I got stronger and stronger and I could see my body change more and more. I kept at it for about two years until I got to college. I missed weight lifting but I was too scared to go lift in the weight room, I thought everyone would think I didn’t know what I was doing. I lost all the progress I had made in two years and even put on some extra weight. Finally towards the end of my first semester I started going to the school gym again and frankly it was terrifying. I was the only girl there and I felt like I was going everything wrong. But I kept at it, I got stronger and more fit and I made some great friends along the way. I’m a junior in college now and I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m friends with the “big scary” muscular guys I would have never talked to as a freshman. I would have never gotten to this point had I not faced my fears about the gym and lifting weights.


PLEASE don’t let anyone tell you you’re going to look Manish or bulky if you lift weights. Don’t let anyone tell you lifting heavy weights are for guys only. Don’t let anyone harass you for being the only girl in the weight room. Women need to make weightlifting the new norm. If anyone here EVER has questions or concerns about lifting please let me help you. My ask is open and nothing makes me feel better than helping a newcomer in the weight room. I know you might get a lot of shit for starting in January but just keep at it, I believe in you.

How weight/fat loss has affected my life

  • Well, I’ve lost 20+ lbs/about 10kg in half a year
  • Even though I “only” lost that much and weren’t overweight to begin with, my life has gotten a lot better
  • My clothes size went from M to S/XS
  • My body is (kinda) toned now; I love my muscular legs, my butt has gotten rounder (yoga pants look 👌), my arms are not flabby anymore, abs are almost visible (still in progress tho)….like wow. I had no idea I could look this hot
  • I’m at a healthy BMI of 19 now
  • I’m generally more active. I walk or cycle to school (6.8 miles/11km there and back) everyday no matter how cold the weather is (-13°F/ -25°C this week so far…hrrr)
  • I’m more flexible than before
  • I’m stronger than before
  • My skin & teeth have gotten better due to ditching all the junk food & sweets
  • ^ Not to mention I’ve saved money too
  • My dream style looks finally good on me (in case you’re wondering, grungeish rock/metalhead look)
  • I’m confident showing off my body
