    WOW. 91lbs lost is beyond amazing! Congrats to you, you should be so proud of yourself. I am new to this blog, but I think it such a great way to gain support with people who are in the same boat as you.

    9lb's to your goal weight is nothing, and if you are beginning to weight train it should come off fairly quickly. You burn a tremendous amount of calories by weight training, instead of hours of cardio. When I began my fitness journey, I knew nothing. At the time I was in college, and certainly couldn't afford a personal trainer. Other ideas if you want to do some research on your own, are downloading apps, or simply doing some online research via Google. It is amazing what some YouTube videos can teach you!

    Some advice is start off with low weight, you don't want to hurt yourself. Also make sure you train a different body part each day, or every time you weight train. If you train back to back, switch upper body and lower body to avoid extra soreness or injury. Weight training can actually be really fun. You will begin to find which parts of the body you love to train.

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

    Stephanie - Thank you I still can't believe it myself, and all the people I've met have been so supportive I don't think I'd have got this far without being back on here the 3/4 months other people's success spurs me on more than my own.. (competitive streak coming out hehe) :)

    I couldn't afford a PT if I had to pay I get 1 a month included in my gym membership as well as them setting you your plans out etc, once I've had my first one on monday I'll be doing some more research once I have a better Idea..

    Thanks for the advice, I really can't wait to get started now.. Whats a reasonable weight to start off with?
