"determined" :

Lift weights. Build muscle. Speed up metabolism.

Seriously! Cardio is great, cutting calories is great, but muscle is

where
your metabolism really is. Gain muscle, and you've created your own

fat
burning machine. I lift 3 x per week, and I believe that lifting

weights
has made a HUGE difference in my efforts. Cardio generally only burns
calories during exercise, but muscle burns all day long. Something

like
35-50 calories per lb...

Good advice. Do you lift weights at a gym or at home? How long do you

lift
for? If you don't mind me asking, how did you start out -- what

exercises,
duration, etc.

Thanks,

Rowena.
