Good for you! Just make sure you go easy. Work your way into it. Have you considered Yoga? It's a wonderful balancer to the aerobic/weight program as it gives the muscles a chance to stretch and limber up and tone without pushing them too far. I've taken Kripalu yoga, and you only take the pose to the limit where it is still comfortable.
Gee - sizes in Canada are different! Or at least they used to be! When I weighed 116 lbs in '01, I was in a size 6. Now, I'm a size 10 or 12 - but when I had to get a designer dress for a wedding (bridesmaid) I was humiliated when they ordered me a size 16!!!! And I weigh less than 150 pounds. Yikes! Don't be too hard on yourself - I think the sizing has changed - sizing nowadays is for skinny women in their 20's and that's it. Good luck and stay positive!
