No more scales for me

you look awesome and i can absolutely see a difference! when you say you quit doing a lot of cardio and did weights instead, what kind of program/excercises did you do and with how much weight? this is the crossroads i'm at right now... feel like i'm in a cardio rut and need to really push myself to get back to the weights more!

Thanks guys.

Before I used any weights, I did at least 30 minutes of cardio most days. For the last couple of months I've done barely any cardio(mostly because I haven't been able to use the place I used to do my cardio in) and I looked around to find a good routine with weights.

I started out with 4lb hand weights. I know people say that you have to lift heavy, but I wanted to get into the habit of doing the routines before I spent money on heavy weights (I don't really like going to the gym, and don't really want to spend £40 a month to go to one) I've been using 6lb hand weights, and now that I know I can commit to the routines a few times a week I'm going to borrow some heavy weights from my boyfriend so I can start lifting properly.

For legs I do squats, deadlifts, straight leg dead lifts, side lunges, sumo squats and curtesy lunges(not sure if this is the proper name!)

For arms I do bicep curls, delt raises, rear delt flies, overhead tricep and tricep kickbacks. I've started doing tricep dips too.

For abs/core I do crunches and reverse crunches, planks, side planks and an exercise with a hand weight that I'm not sure what it's called.

I might have blabbed on a bit too much there . I'm not sure if this is a very good routine, and I know a lot of people say there is no point using weights unless they're heavy, but I'm happy with my results so far and I will lift heavier when I can get hold of some heavier weights.
