Hi everyone! . Just introducing myself. My name is Dawn and I'm on a mission to lose about 10 pounds and tone up. I could use I little encouragement. I like to run as a form of cardio. But open to other forms.

    Hi Dawn and welcome! I'm a runner who is quite fond of cardio but I have been incorporating more weight lifting into my regimen. Honestly I learned about the value of adding weights by reading posts here! The nice thing is that you can get yourself a set of weights for relatively cheap money (make sure they are good quality, though) or kettlebells, and look up workouts specifically designed for women (or any) on YouTube, and do them in the comfort of your own home if you don't belong to a gym. I'm finding that it's helping with toning and strength more than my running. I run because I love it, but I'm really focusing on getting stronger through weight training. Best wishes and read some posts for motivation & support!

    Hi Dawn I am Vada. I wish I loved to run just gave it up as I really hated even though I would do it. I would feel like a boss when I was done but I dreading every minute of it as I was doing it. I need to lose about 30 pounds and maintain it. I love to spin and my new thing is PIYO and Les Mills body pump so I am hoping to get toned as well. Good luck and feel free to add me as a friend.
