Hello,
I joined this group about a month ago and just read some of the comments here and there. Now I'd like to get real with myself. I'm looking for a little coaching here as to where I should start with a weight training program? I've been on MFP for 3 months and have lost 13.5 lbs so far but at a slooow pace. I've gone low carb & gluten free due to my high blood pressure and have been doing a lot of cardio & circuit training videos but I'm not satisfied. I have a Gym in my complex and they have a few free weights and machines. I prefer the free weights/dumbells though. Here are my stats so far:

weight-193.5,
height-5'4,
macros-50% fat, 40% protein & 10% carbs
caloreis set for 2197 (according to fat2fit)

I don't know if any of this is correct as I've been playing around with the numbers for the last 3 weeks because I've been at a stall.

Today, I started the C25K treadmill version but I feel I need more strength/weight training. Just a basic schedule of where I can start like, I'd need to know how many reps, how many times, how many days a week, in what rotation, should I start with my arms or my legs? And no, I'm not looking to spot train. ANY advice would be great. I've been online looking at a weight lifting guide as well but I'd like my MFP pals help. Anyone can friend me as I'll need some guidence. Thanks in advance & I look forward to hearing your comments.
