As for direct weight loss, you would need to post what your eating looks like for a day, with times & portion sizes included, thanks.
Ditto on this. Ditto on the whole response actually.

Nora,

I've been hearing a lot of trainers recommend cardio before resistance training lately. I hope this isn't a fad. Your cardio should mainly be done after your workouts. But it shouldn't be thought of as a cool down. It's normally called LIT(Light Intensity Training), where you're doing a steady-state session, as Bonnie correctly stated, to burn fat right on the machine. Try HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) on non-lifting days to rev up your metabolism once you've built up your endurance. HIIT puts your body in fat-burning mode after the fact, which is good when you need extra help in that area.

In working out there are preliminaries, if you are a newbie in this routine, first you must prepare your body, in working out, try to have some stretching, stretch those muscles and bones, so that you will don't have some cramps, stretching up will make your muscles to loosen up. Do warm ups, try to walk first, about 2-3 minutes, jog, and if you can try to sprint, if you're sweat is getting out, now your ready to pump up. since that you are starting for the first time, try to lift only your body weight, do some push-ups, sit-ups and if you can do a little pull-ups. :)
