    Sola, mymodernbabylon's workout link is a good start, and upping reps, circuits, or adding hand weights could take you through a few months before you need to move onto something more challenging.

    Just a word of advice from my personal journey-
    Start on some form of resistance work now, even if you want to lose a little more weight. Doing so will preserve your LBM, to some extent, and it is harder to rebuild than it is to preserve.
    That is the bit I wish I has known and I would have started some body weight exercises before I had reached my goal weight. Now I feel it is a constant struggle trying to regain any strength.

    I am way older than you, 5'1, and 100lb, and I am expecting it will take the greater part of next year to build my strength to a level I will be happy with. Silly me.

    Cheers, h.

    I just tried this, and it feels awesome. :D I have also combined PiYo and T25 so that I am working out around 50-60 mins a day along with some light walking and I actually saw my biceps peeking out this week.. I feel great!

    It is a good little routine the nerd fitness isn't it. I am so glad you are enjoying it.
    ( I haven't tried the other 2 so can't comment)
    Thanks for updating your progress, and congratulations on seeing your bicep.

    Cheers, h.

    You'd probably benefit more from lifting weights.

    agreed.

    strengthen, tighten, lower the body fat and keep the lean body mass.

    I dont think you need to lose weight so much as recomposition :)

    good luck!
