    @jdaley90 I know - that's why I'm trying to lose the fat first. So when I do I can build the muscle

    @jlapey okay thanks, I'll check it out!

    @CorvusCorax77 haha no go ahead honestly, that's why I posted this as I'm totally clueless about all this. All the information I've got is from internet research which is obviously unreliable. So that's good to konw thanks :)

    @Bakerchk I've been doing it a little but only about once or week or so, the bulk of my exercise is cardio. But thank you that's really useful, I'll try find it so I can read it

    Her point was that the bulk of your exercise shouldn't be cardio. Read this, Staci's my hero:

    @auddii That was really interesting to read, thanks for showing it to me. Although by being on MFP it's kind of a contradiction ;))
    I do want to start lifting weights more but I have none at home, and my family aren't exactly supportive of me going to the gym..

    Have you got any suggestions as to what I could do?
    Because obviously weight training seems to be very beneficial

    You'd be surprised, a fair number of people use MFP to bulk as well. You might be limited in the gains you can make without progressive weights, but bodyweight exercises can be very helpful. Here are several from the same blog:

    You can also find them all over youtube. Just search for body weight workout.

    Yeah no way your BF is over 20!

    You are more like 16/17/18 is my guess based on your pic. Look at this:
