    Thanks so much Kelsey! I went into more detail in a previous reply, but my diet consists of mostly protein and I do 3 days of lifting and 3 days of cardio a week

    All I can say is WOW!!! I've got 40 more pounds to lose and I would love a body like yours. I look A LOT like your before picture. I don't have a gym membership right now, but I've been walking anywhere from 3-6 miles a few days a week and doing a ballet exercise I found on you tube. I've lost 11 pounds in about 3 weeks doing this along with eating a healthy balanced diet. I hope to get a gym membership soon so I can start lifting and using weights.

    What type of lifting machines do you do on those 3 days? That's where I am clueless. Cardio I got down but the weights and machines can get overwhelming to me. I've used them before but never had a set workout plan so I just used the same few machines I knew how to do.

    So it depends, but I usually try to do opposite muscle groups. So I'll do biceps and triceps together, for example. I'll use the cables to do tricep push downs but I also use dumbbells abs do tricep extensions. I'll do back and cheat on the same day. For back I do wide grip lat pull downs, underhand lat pull downs, and dumbbell rows for the most part. For chest, I mainly stick with bench press and butterflies. I don't really use cables for chest but I know they're good for that. It really depends on the day but I like to use machines and do drop sets.

    Thank you! I explained in more detail in some earlier posts, but I eat a high protein diet and do 3 days a week of strength training and 3 days a week of high intensity cardio.

    Thank you for responding. I will be looking up the things you mentioned that I don't know and try them out when I get my gym membership.
