Looking for lifting buddies
So I'm very new to lifting. Got the courage to go to free weights last week in the gym. I always have questions but no one to ask. Anyone out there I can add as a friend so I can just get on MFP for advice? Thanks in advance

Weight gain with lifting
I have a big final weightloss challenge weigh-in at the end of the week. I've been mainly doing cardio with a little bit of lifting at times. Should I stay away from lifting at all this week? Will it cause any slight weight gain? Any tips for a final weigh in week (is it a good idea to switch up my cardio routine maybe?)…

Any help with willpower?
I basically suck at willpower right now. I did great the first 3-4 mos. Now I've lost it again. I just give in. The best I got today was I reduced my sirloin from an 8oz to a 6oz. Then went and got icecream. I've been over my cal goal 4days straight! Ugh. Any tips?

I'm 50+lbs heavier, with a 5mo old, 3 yrold, and soon to be full time baby sitter of a new born. So I thought rejoining the gym wouldn't help, seeing its 20 minutes on the other side of town..…
