Thanks everyone! I think the consensus is that I'm done with Les Mills body pump :) I will look into Strong Curves and the reddit dumbbell program for now, with the goal of one day trying Stronglifts or similar.

Hi! I think I'm in about the same boat as you goals-wise. I'm 29, 5'8, and started out with about 100lbs to lose and now have 80 to go. It's a bit daunting!
