Thanks Phyllis!! Thats good info!

I always go with weight-bearing exercise, too. Do less aerobic and add the weights. The muscle mass helps you burn off those pounds and start getting the shape you want. It sounds counterintuitive but it really works! You may see the scale go up initially but the inches will start to come off.

Good luck!
