Welcome :) I hired a trainer a few years ago and it was awesome. I lost upwards of 50 lbs. I worked hard at the gym, but my diet at home was key as well (it has to be). Although I already knew how to work out well enough to lose weight.. my commitment to the gym was always spotty and lacking. But hiring a trainer made me get up early to go work out, and stay committed to my diet, since I was paying my own money to do this, and it would be a waste if I didn’t take it seriously! Welcome again, and good luck :)
