This seems too simple an answer when there are so many supposed "answers" out there to really lose weight. But besides eating healthy, lifting weights helps the body rid itself of fat nearly three times as fast!
Because muscle weighs more than fat, our bodies will utilizes the calories we consume ALL DAY simply because we are paying more attention and exercising our muscles. Free weights are my personal preference because they are easy to use, and because you can switch the poundage depending on which muscle group you are working. This is also a nice method because you don't need membership to a gym.
Any questions to get started? Ask away. Just remember to start off lightly before you begin. And make it a habit to lift weights--you will soon feel your metabolism jumpstart, and your unwanted weight fall off!

the last time i tried to lift weights, they were just the 1lb hand weights, and i managed to hurt myself! i guess i wasn't doing it right! i'm trying to get my arms in shape and my tummy, any ideas or sites i can go to to see the correct positions and exercises so i don't hurt myself?
Hmm, I am not sure of any particular websites, but I do know that the BEST exercise home workouts are called 'The Firm.'
These are the ones I used and literally watched the weight burn off with every workout using weights. I'll post some good info touching on proper weight techniques.
love what you got so far sis. Keep updateing I am going to do it!
