Hi everyone! I’ve recently reached my goal weight(yay!) I just starting back the gym to begin the toning process..

    Don't be afraid to lift heavy. You can't actually bulk up unless you do a specific eating/bulking plan.

    Get a personal trainer to write you a plan and teach you how to use the weights. It's definitely worth it, to learn the best technique, and avoid injury.

    Congrats! Definitely start lifting, get adequate protein (0.8-1g per lb bodyweight) and have lots of patience.

    Here is a list of programs here:

    Ps. You don't have to wait until you reach goal to start lifting, you can start while you lose to help retain muscle and build strength :)
