To lose and tone… trying to prevent tons of saggy skin. In need of friends to encourage and be encouraged. I'm new to this.

    If you are going to do weights, then focus on the weights.
    Cardio is also fine to do.

    I do weights about 4 - 5 times a week....
    And then cardio is 2 days a week my "rest" days

    good luck

    Probably for the best unless you're wanting to become a man? In which case, he's a great example of what to look like! :laugh:

    Haha.. This is true!! I just can't imagine at this point even having a semi tight tummy. But I have heard lots of good things about ladies and weight training.

    If you don't lose the weight too quick you have a good chance of minimising loose skin... Fingers crossed you have good genetics too!

    You'll look better once you lose the weight if you have been lifting.

    Your a beginner stick to the basics for cardio like walking jogging and cycling. Get your heart rate in the fat burning zone that's what matters. I don't like HIIt for beginners as there is a greater chance for injury and a injured person is not working out at all. For lifting weights do a full body routine 3x a week like the following.

    Squats
    Bench Presses
    Bent-Over Rows
    Overhead Barbell Presses
    Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
    Barbell Curls
    Calf Raises
