Ht. 5'4", Start: 291 lb, Today: 291 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - I exercise every morning but this morning I woke up with my electricity off (stupid power company) ... so I exercised tonight... Ever since yesterday, doing specific strength training exercises makes me feel super nauseous and sick. My heart beats so fast and I'm out of breath that you would swear I just finished an hour of intense cardio... It feels horrible... Should I take it easy for a while and do light cardio? I really wanna continue with strength training and I've been doing great since last week... ugh! But other than that I'm eating better and all... this isnt cool I'm finally serious and now I feel like I have to give up!

you should ease into it. if you werent active at all before, jumping into something intense is dangerous. do light cardio for now, and focus on strength training later. cardio helps overall fat loss anyways .good luck !
