I am so incredible new to this whole thing as I have just found this community this week. I couldn't be more excited and ready to start my journey with you all. I'm embarrassingly overwhelmed with all the information because I have honestly NEVER in my 29 years of life, been part of a forum . Threads, topics, and posts...oh my HAHA. Any and all feedback you wonderful folks might have would be much appreciated. I am going to take some time this weekend to put my thoughts in order before I post any quest stuffs. All I know is I am sick of being sore or tired all the time I am so excited to join in on the challenges!! Cheers darlings!!

I have recently been reading and getting myself ready to start lifting and I have a pretty good work out put together focusing on the right muscle groups on certain days. BUT...my road block right now is that I am not sure where to start as far as weight goes. I don't want it to be too light that I accomplish nothing but I don't want it to be too much that I injury myself. What is a good middle ground for a gal that is 29 yrs old, 5'6" and roughly 128-130lbs that has never done any lifting. My main goal is to get my body fat percentage from the 25-30% range down to 18-20% and strengthen everything in the healthiest way possible. Thanks for any advice you all have to share!!

I am completely new to this community. Just stumbled across this website of amazingness YESTERDAY while researching information on "how to paleo" after a friend suggested giving it a try in an attempt to cut out all the crap in my diet. I have always been athletic in the sense that I run a few times a month and I was a dog walker (yes, I walked dogs for a living) in Oregon for the last year which had me moving and hiking for anywhere between 4 and 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. I LOVED IT!!!! I recently relocated to Louisiana to be closer to my boyfriend after doing the long distance thing for almost a year. Going from Oregon, the land of the fresh and organic to Louisiana where EVERYTHING IS FRIED has not been easy. I don't know anyone here other than my boyfriend and we spend 90% of our time on the couch playing the xBone until all hours of the night, eating every carb known to man. While I have not necessarily gained any weight, I do however feel GROSS!! My body hurts and I am always tired for no reason. Time to get off the couch and do something about it. I would really love to get into weight training but do not know the first thing about being in a gym. Any advice, workout/lifting basics, support or internet high fives you care to share with me would be super duper!! Can't wait to start my transformation with you all!! Cheers to you all!!!!

I'm so glad I found this group!! Can't wait to dive in and be apart of such a great community of people.
