Hi People!

Just a little context: I (F21|200lbs|5'9) have lost roughly 60lbs since feb 2025 without ever setting foot in a gym or doing any kind of sports.

I really like informing myself before i start anything, and currently i'm gathering information about the gym and starting weight training (I wanna lose more weight, at least 20lbs and then i'll set new goals) but i also want to get a little stronger.

My issue is that i'm chronically ill and i'm pretty much done for the day after work, so i'd probably be able to go to the gym once a week. Maybe i can play table tennis once a week in addition to that, but that's only if I'm lucky.

Every single coach says in their videos that "You should start with 3 days a week and then go from there"

So now i ask myself, should I even bother going? I know i won't build muscle and my main goal is to feel fitter and better overall. (My weightloss slowed down as well in the last months and i really wanna get back on track, i'm still fairly chubby)

I've already started incorporating more protein into my diet( i try to hit around 100g now instead of the 40-60g before)

I just need a little encouragement i think (As well as constructive help)

Thank you in advance!
