I've been on MFP since May and I lost about 10 pounds. Before I started I was at 26% body fat according to a pinch test I got at a health fair, but I have a feeling my body fat might have been more then. Anyway, I want to start doing strength training but I'm not sure if I should lose more body fat first, or if that will be taken care of when I start putting on muscle. Here are my stats:

Female
20 years old
143 pounds
5'2" inches
Body fat- ???

Thanks!

    You should have started 2 days ago so you could have rested yesterday and lift again today.


    In other words, today is the day you should start.

    Strength training was awesome. I guess all I needed was the motivation! Anddd I wasn't even scared of the big guys ;)
