Worked out my inner thighs and groin with 70 pounds resistance both ways.
Outer thighs and butt with 70 pounds resistance both ways.
I was surprised I was able to work out so much. I would not have done this well before I lost the 25 pounds. I am going back tomorrow morning and everyday from here on.

Hey there -
Good job with the weight loss! Great to see it go down, isn't it?
Couple of tips, from one who has done it the right way and the wrong way:
Do your lifting FIRST. It'll burn more fat than the other way around.
And there's no such thing as toning. There's only building.
Also, weightlifting, especially if you can lift heavy enough, raises your metabolic rate for hours, or even days, after you lift. The more muscle you have and work, the more fuel you will need, just to sit around.
It will speed your fat loss.
Also,
Try to not work the same body part two days in a row, and be sure to take at least one day a week entirely off, to let your body heal and recover from all the hard work you are doing.
Keep it up!
