Slow and steady, wish I could speed it up a bit more. Will probably start running soon, also considering light weight training but worried it will cause me to gain. Does anyone here have experience w/ weight training? if it helped you lose or gain?

Have a great day all!

Wow -- lots of success for Feathers in May! Vabs, Eilidh, EmmaD, looking good, ladies!

Welcome, Dani!

TB, weight training shouldn't make you gain. Lots of people worry about the scale going up because they are building muscle, but women have to work very hard at an intense level to gain even a pound of muscle per month. A workout that leaves you sore may include some water retention as your muscles repair, but it's temporary. I love the look of some muscle definition in arms and shoulders especially. We do upper body work in barre class and at home I occasionally do pushups and some curls and shoulder presses with my husband's heavy dumbbells.
