I have about 90 Pounds to lose ( I have lost so far 25 Pounds so far). I am a Cardio-Addict and have only been doing 45 to 1 and a half hours of a cardio 5 Days a week and Yoga/Pilates 3 days a week.

I now have learnt how important strength Training is but wondering if it will halt my weight loss a bit. I know people say it's not about the scale but for me I love seeing the scale go down, Gives me motivation and overall keeps my mind at ease. I have been losing 1 kilo a week consistently for about 11 Weeks now and Wondering If doing strength training 2-3 Times per week will slow this down.

I know I cannot gain a lot of muscle because I am on a big deficit but Will it slow the 0.5 - 1 kilo a week down? Any Stories?

Also How many Reps and sets should I do on each Machine? please Help I am a newbie?

Thank you very Much
