[quote=Anonymous]I started weightlifting two years ago after about a decade of yoga and running. I remained the same weight throughout (113-116) and was at first extremely happy with the shape changes I saw. I have always been fairly toned but my abs and waist tightened, my butt grew and rounded a bit, my legs became much more defined, etc. my breasts even got perkier due to the pectoral muscles being strengthened. BUT. This winter I went really regularly, 3x a week and was doing a lot of hypertrophy work and I got bigger. My weight was the same but all my pants and shirts were tighter. I have recently dropped down to 2x a week and am much happier. I still cross train with cardio and some yoga. I am a small person, but weightlifting absolutely put more muscle on me. Mainly this was a good thing, so OP you should lift, but don’t be afraid to scale back or change things as you go.[/quote]
