Why not start weight training now? Believe me it's awesome and can help you retain muscle as you lose to shape your body and get stronger.
My goal is to get my pre-pregnancy body and strength back and more
Oh? I’ve been under the impression that I need to lose the fat first before building muscle?
Lifting will help preserve muscle and you might even build some depending on where you are starting out. Provided you are physically able I definitely recommend starting now! Once you get closer to goal then you can think about recomp or other methods to build more significant muscle depending on your goals
Agreed Sardelsa. It is definitely harder to build muscle when loosing weight but not impossible. I started my weight training about halfway through my weightloss journey. Still grateful that I did. I did build some muscle, but even more it helped me to feel good about a changing body.
And with statistics n=1 (so totally not reliable) I think it helped the reduction of flabby skin. I do have some around the stomach area, but it is so minor that I call it my battle scar

3. Run a second half maybe in the spring and beat my first time
4. Shed these last 5 pounds and get my maintenance range down to 128-133. Sitting at 133.
Happy 2020 !!3 -

Thank you, I hope to be but haven't done it yet!
I read a few articles about them, saw it described as a run where you go really slow and eat all the time, and suddenly it seemed achievable 😄
If nothing else the training for it is really doing all kinds of good things for my figure!1 -
My fitness goals for 2020 are:
- To run at least one race (either location or virtual) per month.
- Start seriously considering full marathon training...to do that, my goal is to run at least 18 miles in one shot.
- Lose the 15 lbs I put on over the year due to work and life stress (my clothes still fit...I need to do this to make it easier on my joints when I run)
- Refire my passion for dancing. I started a barre workout series this week, which is reminding me how much I miss ballet. And I found a ballroom cardio program I'm going to start adding in to my workouts.

To get down to my goal weight by sometime in March (I have around 15 pounds left to lose).
Be more consistent in logging my meals.
Work on my weak areas as far as exercises go. (Push-ups etc)2 -
