I've seen a lot of people on the site say how great weight training is and I know that it does wonders for your figure/toning/strengthening. So I picked up a couple sets of dumbbells, and researched dumbbell exercises for a whole body workout three times a week, with some level of variety between the three workouts.
The only thing is, I've seen so many posts with people saying that all of a sudden they stopped losing weight or even gained when they started weight training. I've been losing at a fairly steady rate, and the fear of not having those regular losses to motivate me makes me nervous, and has been a bit of a deterrent for me in starting lifting. I'm afraid that if I'm not seeing losses it will be harder to stay on track. So I think the best way to combat this is to know exactly what I can expect in terms of how long weight loss will stall, when I might start to see some results from lifting, etc, so I know that what I'm experiencing is somewhat "normal".
Thank you for any help you can provide!!
