I have for the past 3 years only stuck to cardio and my calorie intake to lose my weight. I have maintained now for a good amount of time now, however I am not tone and dont have the body I want yet. SO....... I did my research and have decided to start lifting now. I bought my new barbell and dumbbell set and I am starting tonight! Im really excited! :) Sorry just a post to say I am excited lol

    Fantastic! I can't blame you for being excited... it is very exciting.

    May I make ONE recommendation? Take a "before" picture. In a couple of months you may wonder if it's doing any good (because it isn't like losing weight where your success is seen in a number on a scale) and then you can take a "now" picture. You'll see changes and it will keep you going. I'm so glad I did! I've been lifting for 4 months and I'm STILL excited about it!

    Thank you guys for the encouragement! I will be taking my before pictures tonight and I have already measured my body last night bc I am sure the scale will prob go up and I cant base anything off the number on the scale anymore. Super excited!
