I joined a local gym about 4 months ago, went a few times and felt completely lost. I recently went back to the gym for cardio. Had a personal trainer ( which was part of the contract to join - 5 free sessions) Glad I didnt have to pay for that- he was as un motivated as a door knob. So I didnt really start yet, I guess ..looking for personal training advice on losing weight since holiday is coming up. I now go about 3 times a week. Still trying to figure out what i need to do or not do

my hope is to lose weight, trim and tone up before the holiday come. thirty pounds may seem a lot, but I am short, and tend to get wide, quickly.
