The best place to start is figuring out what you do, and don't know. @stevencloser is probably at the best step one which is, figuring out what lifting routine you need.

Don't have a fitbit, but I'd be interested in being a part of a mini-community of people helping each other out.

Looking to lose around 10 lb myself. Could always use some motivation friends.

If anyone's looking for motivation, support, community, etc. then feel free to add me. I figure the best way for any of us to keep in track is have people around to keep us going in the tough times.

As people have said, start lifting now. But you want to lift and diet with a focus on losing body fat, because if you start to eat significantly more calories in the hopes of building muscle, you're also going to be adding more fat on top.

As was mentioned above, it's definitely not muscle loss. However, the fatigue itself can come from diet issues. If you don't eat well you won't have any energy to give to your muscles (like driving a car with no petrol).

I want to begin by stating that the majority of the advice is hyperbole, or based on credible sources that I forgot to write down when i first saw them. I'd definitely say that losing weight before building muscle is a good idea, because to build you have to have a calorie surplus. And since you can't tell your body to…

If you feel so inclined, add me! I figure we'll all see better results if we work together.

It's really hard to overcome people when they offer negativity, and it affects different people differently. One way you might be able to "shut it down" could be to show her what you've eaten (such as your diary). It's kind of personal, but when on paper it's really easy to see exactly how much you've eaten (which is why…

Good luck! And remember that there are thousands of people to act as a support system here for you!
