Okay- I know there has to be some fitness experts out there and I want your opinion please....
I have been losing weight for about a year and and four months now. I've lost a bit over 80 pounds- and STILL have about 80 more to go. Up to now, I've been concentrating on just losing weight- not toning so much. But NOW I'm wanting to start a toning exercise program as well.
I personally believe/think that even tho I still have a LOT of weight to lose- it's better to start the toning program NOW, because it not only helps burn more calories and therefore accelerates the weight loss- but it decreases the amount of time it takes to first LOSE the weight and then Tone up the muscles.
One of my friends says he thinks it's better to lose the weight and THEN do the toning- that it doesn't do any good to tone if the fat is still on you- so I should continue with the weight-loss and then do the toning AFTER I'm MUCH closer to my goal weight.
So, experts- who is closer to the truth???????? And please be honest- if he's closer to the truth it won't bother me in the least....I just want to KNOW, I don't want it to be a "Female Vs. Male" thing.
Thanks for your input!!!!

I'm not an expert, but like most non-experts, I do have an opinion that can sound very educated.
The answer to your question truly depends on your goal. If your goal is to look like a model in six weeks, then you should wait. If you want to give your progress-to-date a small boost, then you should start now.
But then again, my word verification word for today is "slochy," which sounds rather lazy.
Yeah- that six week model thing is WELL out of my league right now- it's gonna be more like a 6 month goal.....
LOL on the word verification...
