Hi everyone! I am new here. I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am 23 about to be 24 on March 13th actually and I am 5 foot 8 at 165lbs. I have been wanting to loose weight for a long time now even before I got married a year and a half ago and I just never really did it. I have tried on and off but I just couldn't find my push into it. I need support and a drive. I know that this site will def help me there. I just get bored of doing the same old boring stuff and I want some flavor that is interesting and fun to a workout. I am actually interested in Pilates and I was thinking about that.
'ello 'ello :)

Welcome
Hello Missy and welcome to the site. I am also a PA. resident. As far as your exercise goes, do you plan on going to a gym or workout at home. If you are working out at home what do you have for exercise equipment ? I guess those are a couple of questions we need to know, then we can maybe help you come up with a game plan. Again, welcome.

Home workout
If you enjoy working out at home, Then I personally would suggest, buying some dumbbells. Weight training will give you the most "bang for your buck." Also a stability ball or weight bench would be beneficial. You mentioned Pilates, I am assuming you would buy pilates videos and do it at home. Pilates is an effective workout. There are many different exercises you can do with dumbbells and the bench/stablity ball. Add pilates to that and I think you'll have enough variety not to get bored. There are also many other cardio/exercise videos out there. Also, your diet is key in helping to achieve your weight loss goals. Drink lots of water, also.
If you are new to weight training and pilates, remember to start out slowly and gradually build up your intensity.
