    If all you want to do is lose weight, then all you need to do is look at your diet.

    That's just not true. You don't have to be a world class athlete, but no weight loss routine is complete without exercise.

    Please define.

    A fitness routine requires exercise, a weight loss routine doesn't.

    Calories in - Calories Out.

    That's how many who have sedentary lifestyles and don't exercise lose weight....mind blowing, I know.

    Typically… I would say Gold's has more to offer especially when you talk long-term. But I go to PF and have been happy with it. My decision was based on price, location, and hours it was open.

    hummmmmmmmmmmmmm what's a good amount for a girl my size to lift while squatting im 24 4ft 11 and 175

    get new rules of lifting for women
    or strong curves
    or starting strength
    or stronglifts

    then
    start with the bar.
    learn how to squat.
    then add weight as the program recommends.

    then squat your *kitten* off to fabulous.

    I have had a membership to gold's and I like it. I'm just now getting back to fitness after 15 years of slacking off, and I'm a member at PF. For the price and no commitment, I'll be staying at PF until I outgrow it. Then it's back to Gold's.

    Ok, then! :smokin:

    I squat about 115. Nothing special. Start with just the empty bar until you are comfortable and your form is rock solid. It's really easy to get hurt if people are being dummies and not bothering to learn the proper way to do it before adding craptons of weight to the bar.

    If you really have no idea what you're doing and need a confidence boost, I'd spring for a single personal training session, and have a good trainer show you proper form, and how to set up the rack.

    Super important, as even without a crapton of weight on the bar, I hurt my left knee and have to rehab it from bad squat form.
