I want to do this, but have no idea where to start. I am 350ish lbs and 5'7 1/2". I've researched different programs and really like Nia Shanks. I just joined my local gym today but really don't know what to do...I have no idea how to perform the exercises. I am intimidated by the machines. I could really use some guidance.

I highly recommend stronglifts... there is a group on here of woman who follow it who are EXTREMELY helpful. I am new to it as well but they are great for helping with form, or any questions. It's fairly easy to get started, I have almost no upper body strength but am definitely finding myself progressing with it, although I may eventually add in a couple other things too it, mostly to help with my core (the stronger the core the better the lifts, and the better the lifts the stronger the core)

Feel free to add me! You can do it!

I found strong lifts too... I find its a simple program... being 4 months in im relatively new at it too... but I found you tubing the exercises helps... also I made my pt show me how to do those exercises. . He first had me on machines. .. I did hat for 4 weeks and then made him show me how to do it on free weights... ive also got him to check my form as I started getting lower back pain... but for me I think its jumping up to heavy weight wise... I have been warming up with the squat bar.. and adding 10 kgs do 5 squats thenadd another 10.. till I get to my heighest wweight then do my actual work out... seems to work for me...

But yeah get into it ladies its amazing

I highly recommend anyone looking into lifting and figuring out calorie levels to check out the group Eat Train Progress.

I have started lifting in the last few weeks, I have already started noticing results. But I am just wondering what people ate while lifting to get all those amazing results? calorie intake, type of food etc, any cardio? I'd appreciate the help Also did people find that they gained, lost, or stayed the same lb-wise?

Needs a bump

Mostly I'm bumping this thread for motivation, although my profile pic is old results. Lost track of my diet a bit since then, but still lifting heavy.

ditto for me...stronglifts is a good starting place...

Nothing against machines but....they don't help get your form down.

I eat at a deficet...TDEE-20% and keep my protien min at 120g (1g of protien for every lb of LBM)

So I typically eat about 1600 calories a day on average (even with my massive overages on some of the weekends)

I am still losing weight about 1/2 a week but I am getting way smaller then the lbs would indicate.

As for the type of food as I said I keep my protien as high as I can, fats at a decent level and carbs where they fall, I do no cardio but might add some HITT in december.

I have gone from a size 10 to a size 8 in 10 weeks with 5lbs lost.
