I think any strength training you do is a plus. Maybe, while you are still shedding those first pounds, just start with some light hand weights. I have 5 and 10 pound sets at home which I sometimes use when I can't get to the gym. They are only about 10-15 bucks a set. You'd be surprised how good it feels once you get in…

I really appreciate all your insight, everyone. I don't use a heart rate monitor so I think it would be good practice to eat back a portion of my exercise calories. I'm never sure how accurate the MFP estimate for exercise calories is. I think I'll start with about 75% and see how that goes. I've lost 6.6 pounds in 25 days…

Thanks for all the positive responses! :flowerforyou: (For all the snarky ones... I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE SEARCHING, mkay?) :wink: It's nice to get responses from current users. Was able to start a dialogue with many members and build my community.

thanks everyone! I have been staying as close to my 1200 calorie goal as I can, even when I exercise and have felt satisfied, most of the time. Good to know that eating back calories still results in weekly loss. When I'm hungry, I will eat back what feels reasonable.

Hi Ladies! I'm a new mom looking to lose about 40 pounds. I gained a lot during my pregnancy and was probably about 15 lbs over my ideal weight before then. I'm approaching my one month mark on MFP..down 6 pounds! :bigsmile: This is my first group... let's get it! thanks for the encouragement! :flowerforyou:
