in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking to not necessarily lose weight but to lean up a bit more and gain muscle/lose fat.
Those last stubborn pounds are the hardest to shed so it'd be great to exchange tips and ideas with folks in the same boat.

Nice meeting you and good luck!

    Thanks and congrats on starting your journey! :)

    So far I'm trying to be more active and am avoiding takeout to reach my goals. I'll share more tips should anything work to get me through my weight plateau.

    Julia... I am at the tail end of the "weight loss" part of my journey. If I can loss the last 7.2 I will have lost 60lbs over the last 3 years and kept it off.

    My plan of action is WEIGHT TRAINING, FOCUSED EATING (somewhat of a paleo style of eating), and being active 6 days a week with 1 rest day a week.

    I recently downloaded an APP called SKIMBLE WORKOUT TRAINER that I really like. You can sort by what body part you want to work and how long you want to work out. Tons of different workouts. I am focusing on ABS and BOOTY for these workouts. So far I love them!

    Yes Good point - I try to do pull-ups/sit-ups and free weights for my arms a couple times a week. I need to make it to my gym so I can focus on strength-training. Also trying to increase my protein intake too.

    Thanks for everyone's feedback! :)
