One of the frequent changes I notice in women (maybe men too, but especially in women) as they get a bit stronger is confidence. Learning that you can lift more than you ever thought you could is a great confidence builder. It spills over into other aspects of your life, giving you the confidence to do jobs you didn't even try before, or take risks you were afraid of in the past. Those kinds of changes, while not body composition related at all, still make you look better. A person with confidence just carries herself with better posture. Confident body language is attractive. Those are intangible changes, but they matter. That new confidence can be a springboard to build on. It can sustain you in staying the course and ending up with the body composition changes you originally desired. Keep up the great work!
