Hi all,

I have lost 100lbs in several years, but recently renewed my determination and have lost the last 49 lbs since June 11th. I am pleased with my mental attitude although it isn't without struggles at times and I am gaining endurance in my cardio workout. I have had several people recommend I begin strength training to tone and tighten and I could not agree more. But I have no idea how to begin and cannot afford a gym membership. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I am 47 yrs old, female, 5'3" and currently 254lbs. I have a bad back (spinal injection one week ago actually) but I am not faint at heart or stupid and will tailor any suggestions to maximize my benefit and minimize my risk.

I have no idea how to start strength training.
Thanks!
