Thanks for all the feedback MFPals :) ......I got weight lifting for dummies from the library today. Even with ALLL of your help/comments/explanations I found myself still a little confused. Figured educating myself is the best place to start. Good luck on your fitness journey! -Elle

Aw yah this is open to anyone @Allgoingtomakeit !! Sorry, the more the merrier. ESPECIALLY the knowledgeable, I have a feeling a lot of us have questions...speaking of, Last question....for today, where can I find the 5x5 program or the new rules of lifting for women @branlovesu @arditarose??

Baaaasically I don't want to have muscle on top of all this squishy fat I have gained. So if I can be like lifting and doing cardio intermittently or whatevs annnnd be melting this fat off that'd be really great.

Guys thanks so much for all the feedback. This is all a bit overwhelming, honestly didn't even think about much in regards to weights until instagram opened my eyes. Much prefer the weight trained body over the cardio bunny (because I think for my body type it would be better). I am following a 30 day beginners fitness…

So quick question...how come when I add strength training it doesn't add to calories burnt for my tracking? I guess it's kind of messing with my head because I have weight to lose AND I want to be strong....my cardio counts towards calories for the day but not my weights? Haaaaalp!

Hey ladies, i'm so in! I definitely need to lose weight that I've put on, but I'm hoping to eventually get into a "girls that lift" scenario. I am totally new to this all but if this sounds like you let's definitely connect and figure all this craziness out together!
