Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 145 lb, Goal: 130 lb - When I was 14 i was around 170lbs, and always hated it. After awhile, I am not sure what got me motivated, but I started running and totally changed my diet, and I got down to around 135 the summer before my freshman year of high school. Since then I have gained a little back, but I still am in pretty good shape overall and not overweight. However I really wanna get down to 130/125lbs because my first prom is in May, and I have a family reunion at a beach and want to look good in a new swim suite. I have a Golds Gym membership and I was just looking for some tips on what machines you guys think are good for toning legs, thights, love handles.. whatever! And what foods I should cut to help make toning easier. Thanks guys you are all amazing!

hey! congrats on ur weight loss, it felt great didnt it. losing weight is such a huge accomplishment. anyways i find the elliptical machines are great for cardio as well as toning your legs and butt. so while your toning your burning fat everywhere, including the love handles. also squats help. good luck

well for your legs i do the leg extension and leg press machines. but do them really slowly. i mean really really slowly. most people do them fast but that's wrong. it's a lot harder and it isolates other parts of the muscle that you don't normally use. and you only have to do like 4-8 reps to feel the burn as opposed to like 20 if you did them faster. and only do the weights every other day. (sorry for the paragraph)
hope that helps. and good luck :)
