WHAT WOMEN EVERYWHERE ARE SAYING ABOUT KATHY SMITH'S LIFT WEIGHTS TO LOSE WEIGHT
"I see the changes in my body. My arms have shape, my legs are much stronger, and my abs are flat!...Now I like to wear sleeveless shirts and short skirts to show off my legs. Before lifting weights I was a size 10; now I'm a size 7."
-Glorymar, age 24, San Juan, Puerto Rico
"Now that I'm 43 years old, I realize that it is so important to keep my bones strong, and weight lifting is important to me for that reason. My muscle mass is probably close to what it was in my twenties. I'm sure that's one reason people think I'm younger than I really am....My metabolism is running higher as well. Any extra weight I gain slips off in no time."
-Karen, Charlotte, NC
"My impression was that people who lift weights get big and bulky, and that was the last thing I wanted....So far, I have lost 13 pounds and one dress size. I feel like I have more energy, and my self-confidence has gotten a tremendous boost."
-Susie, age 25, Bumpass, VA
"At 74, my waist, which was disappearing, has made a remarkable recovery and my posture has improved. Just as important, my energy level and attitude have improved. What's more, I feel good about myself, even when I look in a mirror. You can't beat that, can you?"
-Marion, Houston, TX
"I was frustrated because of my inability to lose weight through traditional aerobics. Then I discovered weight training! I went from a size 9, after having my daughter, to a size 2! I am more toned and healthier than I was before my pregnancy!"
-Brenda, age 25, Humbolt, IA
"I noticed the cellulite on the back of my legs was diminishing-something I had not been able to accomplish when doing only aerobics. Finally, at age 32, I have reached a healthy weight and am comfortable with my size."
-Tracy, Greensburg, PA
"At first I wasn't sure about weights-I thought it might be hard. Within 3 months I could see a difference. Not only did the pounds melt off, but it also defined the shape of my whole body. My energy level went sky high. Friends I hadn't seen in over six months couldn't believe how great I looked."
-T.J., age 31, Garden City, MI
"I don't have jiggling thighs anymore! I started with 5-pound dumbbells and now I'm using 12-pounders. I always feel good about myself when I am done, too!"
-Mayra, age 39, Orlando, FL
"I began to explore weight training after I became a single mom. I've been [training] 2-3 times a week and have gained increased strength and muscle definition without any bulk. At age 40, I find that I have the energy and fitness level of a woman much younger than I am."
-Deb, Chicago, IL
