Hi. I do a little of both every day I go to gym. During summer break (I am a teacher), I do 30 min. cardio and 15-20 min weight/strength, rotating between upper and lower body. School starting soon so my plan is to continue with 30 min cardio and full body (upper & lower). I probably am working isolated muscles when…

Mlima, Thank you, I will look into those. When I get off machines, I have to do it slowly. I am conscious of my knee also.

Thanks! I will continue to do that. Yesterday I was able to tolerate 11 minutes on elliptical, which is awesome for me. Thanks for your response, MyJourney.

I agree fbMandy...I'm thinking JLo is curvy!

Ugh...what about "big boned"? I've seen big, tall women AND men. I think it's just body type as well. I'm 5.7...tall, yes...big boned, I don't think so. What do you think of the term "big boned"?

Hello Mystic, I also am 47 and on this weight loss journey. Add me also. I too am new here! Good luck! Keep in touch. Cris

So true, sdb, we can't even give ourselves a pat on the back...lol! Nor am I an expert or know much...but learning. I'm going to try too and am excited I found this board!

You know you can do it....so do it! Don't even think of the "other"...just do it! :-) Start, don't look back, look forward! ;-)

Hello Leticia, I also am new to the group, and am glad I found it. I also am in with you in this journey as all of us here. Add me also. I have no friends as of now...newbie, but we can motivate and encourage. Cris
