Well Hello Everyone!!

[GurleyGirl524]

Hello all!!  I am new to this site, but not so new to the fitness/weightloss game.  I lost a total of 66 pounds and was 7 pounds shy of my goal weight and the next thing I knew I had gained back 20 pounds.  Got my butt back in gear and just can't seem to get the scale moving again.  Hoping to find the tools and support here that I need to drop those 20 (AGAIN) and hopefully some additional pounds and gain some strength, some muscle, and get toned.

Welcome to the rebellion.  The short answer to your situation is, "eat clean and lift Heavy." _{Steve Kamb}

What are you eating and how are you working out?

[GurleyGirl524]

I am trying to eat lean proteins, I try to make sure my carbs come from fruits and veggies and try to limit bread, pasta, and potatoes.  I also try to limit sodium and I drink water ALL DAY LONG.  I do about 40 minutes of cardio 3 - 5 times per week depending on what  my schedule will allow.  I do not have access to free weights, so I do not get to lift as I would like.  I found this site yesterday in hopes of help with strength training.  I did the beginner body strength routine yesterday in addition to my cardio and loved it.  I will definately continue that routine.  I am using another site to log calories in and calories out.  Each of my workouts burns a little over 400 calories and I am eating usually between 1400 and 1600 calories per day.

 

Thanks for the welcome!

Sounds like you got the eat clean part down pat.  Strength training is definetely the next step and the beginner routine is a good place to start.
