Btw - does anyone know how easy it is for girls to bulk up? I've been doing a lot of weights (8kg) at the gym as well as bench presses, push-ups etc. every day and I can see a notable difference in my arms but I'm afraid it might come to border on the unattractive side. I know it's much harder for women to bulk up than it is for men, so how long would I need to train like that for it to be 'too much', or would it just never get to that point?
Sorry, that's a bit vague, hope you get what I mean ahha

Also - 5 weeks of daily gym going later, have definitely lost some stomach fat! Hope it's noticeable compared to the pic I posted a couple months ago :D

your not going to get jacked and look like a body builder. your arms will get toned but with minimal weights or bodyweight expercises your not going to add alot of muscle, especially since you are not eating a proper diet to bulk up.
 
pagey, if you ever borderline on too toned, you will see it a mile away. it takes a lot of work to get to that. i mean, fkn heaps. you'll be fine. :) keep at it.

but the muscles in your arms are not defined yet I am not sure what you are seeing as "bulk"

They are kind of, will post a pic when I get home. The thing is since I have pretty big arms due both to well, fat and muscle, I'm afraid working on them too much will just make them look bigger, even if the muscles aren't too defined because of the layer of fat...which would just make me arms look really fat, it that makes sense.

Okay thanks! :)
 
Hahahah once you lose fat then you see muscle definition. It took 6 months of upper body strength training 5 times a week for me to see "cuts" in my arms and they were nowhere near fitness model or women's bodybuilder proportions. They are the least fatty part of me. You are not gonna look like Popeye, dear ;) Keep the healthy routine. Looking too fit would be the least of my worries.
 
if you suddenly sprouted testes then I'd worry about that moreso than the impending muscle you'd gain with them. a girl not using aas will NEVER be too muscular in my opinion. I don't even mind cuts in a girls body forreal. more places for me to run my fingers :) you look great, keep it up. I'm going through a phase it seems where my immune system went on vacation so working out is a bitch for me these past couple weeks :/ and to think end of march is when I begin my trim/cut. might push it to mid April if needed. my weight has leveled off as well. 5' 6"/5' 7" 155 pounds :/ probably lost a bit of water due to stopping creatine (Dr told me to stop due to elevated blood creatnine levels and get more bloodwork next month to see if it was the creatine supps or if my kidneys are fucking up).

I wish I didn't have floppy skin from being 20 lbs heavier and 20 years older ;)

what floppy skin?

you can take that as a compliment or a creepy attempt to get you to take more pictures to show me said floppy skin that I do not believe exists.

the skin is a big organ, and grows and shrinks. it will take time (it is quicker to fill in the excess skin with more muscle or fat) but it will go back to being tight if you continue to take care of yourself.
 
hahahahaha there are bikini shots in this thread and on facebook that show otherwise but I have to be okay with it 'cause I am not going to the plastic surgeon to get it removed and I am high
