    Congratulations - you are awesome!!! Your dedication and hard work shows!
    do yourself a huge favor and start weight training now.....you will thank yourself later ;-)

    I was actually thinking about starting early. For some reason weight training terrifies me as cardio is my "comfort" zone and what I love. I am not sure I will even know where to begin!

    I agree - don't wait to start lifting, just add it in now! I wish I would have started sooner! There are lots of great beginner programs that have great explanations/pics and online videos to help you - if you work out at a gym, a trainer or someone can also help you with form and figure out how things work. Nia Shanks or the New Rules of Lifting books are a great place to start - I started with the New Rules of Lifting for Women and found their facebook community (2 groups there, both great) - lots of awesome, heavy lifting women with tons of motivational stories and support and advice!

    I was doing only cardio for a long time and then plateaued. Lifting only 2-3 times a week and doing cardio on my off days, did way more for body composition and my booty than cardio ever did!!!! We are stronger then we think we are :happy:

    Add me if you have any questions :bigsmile: You rock, chica!!!

    I couldn't help looking at your profile and I love the reason you were motivated to change. Success through hard work is so sweet. You look wonderful and should be so proud. Losing weight, running, completing college and a young mom - and doing it all well. You are a renaissance woman for the millennium generation.

    That is inspirational. My starting point was close to yours, although I am old enough to be your mother. This gives me hope!:smile:
