Start YESTERDAY. Lifting weights will help you retain muscle and even build some muscle as you lose weight. As our weight goes down, our bodies tend to let go of muscle along with fat. Less muscle leads to slowed metabolic rate. You can only help yourself by taking care of your muscles on the journey.0

YES!!!! Start lifting today! Great advice from everyone that responded! I have been lifting and doing cardio since May and have lost 40lbs with many miles to go. I did not join here until 70 days ago. I maybe could lose weight quicker with just cardio but know that I want to completely change my body and my lifestyle. i do not want to just be skinny/fat. add me as a friend if you would like.
