    Hey there. I am new to this board as well. I am 29 5'4" 172 with a goal weight of 125 for my 30th birthday in January!

    What are you doing to lose weight, are you doing any exercise programs? I just started turbo fire on Monday and I had previously been a low carb eater, losing 50 lbs in 2012 but then had a bit of a setback and gained 25 lbs over the last 6 months which I think is because I went back on birth control, started a new job and cheated a lot on my low carb diet.

    I am still eating low carb but I am not going to be as strict on it and just really follow a healthy eating plan and make sure I eat around 1200 calories a day.

    Since monday I have lost 3lbs.

    That's a big loss.
    I used to do a lot of running, I'll probably get back on that horse, but I need to do some type of strength training to balance. Any suggestions?

    Ladies would benefit from building some upper body muscles to increase resting metabolism. Go forth and turn your body into a better fat burning machine. :) Hit the gym for those arms and upper abdominal workout equipment.

    My highest weight was 177. Nov2011-Jan2012 I had lost 27lbs through working out. I didn't really change what I ate, so when I stopped working out, I gained a lot of it back. Ive been here for a few weeks, starting at 160. I have yet to set foot back into the gym, but I do make a habit out of taking stairs instead of an elevator.

    I miss working out. But you have to be careful when working out. Muscle weighs more than fat, so don't be surprised if your numbers start to go up!

    Girls it's ALL about CLEAN EATING, portion control and weight training trust me I'm a walking testament.
    I incorporate spinach leaves into at least two meals a day :)

    Keep consistent!

    I'm doing turbofire right now that is mostly cardio, but after I finish the 20w program I am planning on going back to p90x. I started with p90x in 2011 and I get bored easily doing the same workout over and over.

    I don't have a gym membership and I don't want one/have time for it. Basically my plan is to lose the majority of weight doing cardio then doing strength training with P90x to build muscle and tone up.
