^ This.

I'm not sure why there's so much weight-loss advice going on in this thread. OP really didn't say anything about that.

You can gain in strength, endurance, and fitness and not lose weight, but you'll still probably feel way better and be able to do more.

For sure! I also hate that in gym culture, there's a pressure on women not to do anaerobic exercise/weights that could lead to them gaining *visible* muscle mass, thereby making them look bigger/"fatter". Like, do you want to be strong, or do you want to be skinny? Fehh.

I should also add that unless you're already super skinny, and are an oestrogen-dominant person (usually cis-woman), extra muscle mass won't show up as rippling biceps, but as (to the ignorant eye) fat. And so? strength isn't always skinny. I super-enjoy watching female rugby players :-)

I've been running for a while, and my endurance has gone up like you wouldn't believe. When I started I could barely go a block without gasping, and now I can run a solid mile. Not Olympic material or anything, but I've made huge progress.

Haven't lost a damn ounce. My waistline's just the same as when I started, though my legs look fantastic now.

(If it matters, I'm a guy.)
