Hi there!

I have been a part of MFP for awhile now and never realized there was a message board component (I only used the app). Anyways now that I found you all! I am, like everyone else, on their journey to become fit and hopefully lose some weight in the process.
Some background on me is that I am a pretty open person. I love to try new things and something I think I have been lacking throughout the years is strength training. I have always been a cardio person. I used to do XCountry in high school and have always done cardio first then lift a bit then leave when I would go to the gym.
That being said, since I am a beginner, I would love to get into lifting and try and do that to tone/build strength/lose weight. Basically means I am new and from what I have researched and read there is many ways to do it which pretty much overwhelmed me. So expect me hovering around in that area of the message boards.
I am really open to tips and tricks to get started with lifting, but since losing weight is a goal, I would like to be able to do some cardio as well. Anyway, thanks for listening and nice to meet you all!
