AI have read so many posts on not losing weight but working out.
So I wanted to share what I have found. I only started working out two months ago and have lost thirty pounds so far, which is great. But I am still at almost two hundred which is substantially heavy, however I look a lot lighter due to weight and strenght training. I have had three people tell me just this week I looked about one fifty and two of them were girls (I think girls are generally more accurate in guessing our weight lol). So to anyone that is working outs you might want to try it. It has helped me so much! I hope this helps someone else :)
Oh if anyone wants my routine I can post it on here.
 
Wow congrats on the weight loss! I think that posting your routine on here might benefit others (as long as it's not a link) :)
 
ANo links, I hate that lol.
Here it is, and you can modify it pretty easily.
Just a tip, when I say cardio I use a treadmill at varying speeds and inclines. I am sure if you don't have one you can substitute another method.
Monday: 30 mins. cardio, then crunches (15 reps), pushups (12 reps), bicycling (25-30 seconds), dips (12 reps). I do these like a circuit and four sets of each. Then I will dance for about ten minutes so I get a little of everything.
Tuesday: 30 mins. Cardio, then dumbbell curls (15 reps, 4 sets), dead lifts (20 reps, 4 sets), bent over rows with dumbbells (12 reps 4 sets). Dance for ten minutes.
Wednesday: off
Thursday: 30 mins cardio, no weight squats (15 reps 4 sets), lunges (12 reps 4 sets), calve raises (20 reps 4 sets) dance ten minutes.
Friday: 30 minutes cardio, crunches (25 reps four sets), bicycling (30 seconds 4 sets). Dance for fifteen minutes.
Saturday: off
Sunday: Free day as long as I get an hour of exercise.
Hope this helps and if anyone has questions feel free to ask.
 
Thanks for posting that! It's always good to see what works for people. Keep it up!
