    I think you said you just wanted to tone (in another post maybe) so 8lbs is fine for that....


    Are you sure 8 lbs is enough to tone? I am hearing many people say it is not enough. I don't care if I get a lot of muscle or not (it would be nice, butt...) I just don't want to be as flabby.
    It's definitely enough to start with. You mean 8 pound dumbells, am I right?

    Yup. Should I go to 10 pounds after a month? I don't have any 10 pound ones, but I can improvise...

    You're only seeing and reading what you want to hear...yes 8 pounds is fine for toning along with bodweight resistance exercises like push ups, dips, air squats, lunges, stuff like that....but please listen to me when I say YOU NEED TO EAT MORE!!!

    All the weight training in the world won't help you at the calorie deficit you are currently at.

    Just give it t try for a week or two eat more protein (cottage cheese, nuts, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs... whatever) to get to your MFP calorie goal each day you'll feel better.
