3-4 days of strength (30 - 40 minutes each) and 5-6 days of cardio (1 - 2.5 hours each). This is the way I've lost weight and kept of being 'saggy' and still getting tone. Def do your cardio, but don't neglect strength training!

It's NOT a misconception... it's my personal experience.

Water weightloss... especially the first week or two.

I started using MFP after I had already lost around 40-50 pounds.

Thank you all for the kind words!! You're the greatest :-D
