    Just make sure you get pink dumbbells while you're doing your low weight high rep workout or you'll bulk up too much

    Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this approach. Cardio is fine a couple times a week, but would lift more weight with less reps.

    Also, I wouldn't get too hung up on the scale. You will most likely get frustrated when it's not moving fast enough for you. Keep track of your measurements. Remember, this is a marathon not a sprint.

    Good for you for being motivated and positive! BUT, there's a lot you can learn here. A few things are that lower weight, higher reps are not as helpful as you think. Also, that if you're eating in a calorie deficit, you're not likely gaining muscle while losing weight. I'll let some of the others here give you specifics, but if you keep an open mind, and listen to some of the advice that's floating around, you're likely to hit your goal and make some pretty cool friends. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    It amazes me how people come to this site to meet people, who are willing to help eachother with insecurities and achieve their goal, basically put their life and everything they kinda keep inside, out in the open. Half these people on here have been bullied their whole life about how they look. This site is for motivation if you dont have anything nice to say why would you take your time out of your life to make a rude comment about someone who is trying to better their life. People wonder why this world is going to **** and there are more and more suicides each day. YOU CAN DO IT just keep going and clearly don't pay attention to anyone or anything who is going to hold you back :)
