Working Out in Pittsburgh!

Hi everyone, a bit about me:

My name is Malina and I'm from the Pittsburgh area. I just started working out last week after joining Planet Fitness. I've fallen in love with them and since they are a no judgement zone, I'm excited and keep looking forward to working out!

At my heaviest I was about 285lbs/size 26 and lost weight (mostly due to stress/poor appetite, no extra exercise) down to 220-225/size 16 where I've been for about 6 months now. My goal is to lose another 45lbs to reach my goal of 180. I don't want to become too thin, so this number seems to suit my height (5'9) as well as my build.

I've been doing at least 30-45 minutes of cardio and 20ish minutes of strength training on the machines there. So far, no further weight loss but a few pounds gained (which I know is normal from building some muscle).

I'd love to meet and possibly work out with some people in the area. Currently I'm going every other day but would like to sneak in a bit more time if possible (he is often too tired at work to spend more than an hour in the gym each session) and it's much easier and more fun with someone else present.

So yeah. Hi, I'm new here!
