Welcome!
Well i started working out recently about 5 months ago. It started just a few classes a week, and then I became very passionate about it. Bumped it up to pretty much everyday. I love working out, I really never thought I would be this person that enjoyed sweating, and kicking my own ass everyday to go to the gym and get an optimual work out. Its great! I am currently trying to lose weight and tone up. The losing weight thing has gone pretty good, the toning up is great with my legs, i do spinning five times a week, and then run every other day between this, so my legs are pretty much pure muscle, but its my mid section, stomach and hip oh and ass (have a big booty 
not really proportionate to the rest of my body) area that i am having a problem toning. I know this is just because i havent spent enough time focusing on these areas. I guess I just figured if I lost the weight first then I would worry about toning up after. So its getting to that point now that I have to start worring about the toning up part. I guess I am just not really sure where to start. How often I am suppose to work on my abs, how many times a week? What other good mid-section toning to start out? I dont really have a work out buddy, so it makes it a little difficult to go outside my comfort zone. But if there is one thing I have learned since I started this is that you can only rely on yourself to get through this. My best advice is not to wait for that friend to start going to the gym with you, or if they cant go one day, then say to heck with it I will just wait tommrow. Dont put it off, do it yourself, you are your own motivation!
