need some advice.

Hi,
I'm getting back into weights again after a 10 year break. The only problem is I have pot belly.


what I want to know is- Should I loose weight first or will lifting weights help me loose weight?

Thanks

Are you skinny fat or just fat?

Might be useful to state your weight and height.

In addition to Zean's query...

Lifting will help you lose weight as part of a structured routine, in conjunction with a good, balanced diet.

I'm also guessing you didn't get the potbelly because your day job may have been conducted from behind a desk (I.e. your diet may well be rubbish), so be honest and post up a food diary.

Dont be. You are't exactly heavy and there are no doubt people on this forum in a worse state than you. The main thing is that you are looking to change, we can help you get a good idea of what is possible if we know what you are starting like

As morba pointed out, I wouldn't worry. If you are still not convinced, edit out your face and we'll be noine the wiser.
