Can lose 30lbs without losing any strength?

[Im so Moldy]

If you do weight training while you lose weight, you'll retain more muscle than if you didn't.

Unless this is about some serious medical condition or whatever, take a look at the FAQs, pick a beginner routine and get to work. Once you've built a semi-decent level of strength and expertise with the technique for the basic lifts, attaining your bodyweight/body composition goals will be much easier.

Also, consider a visit to the diet subforum.

Your body adapts to the type of training you do.

If you want to get stronger, follow a strength routine. If you've never done strength-oriented training in the past (or if it's been a while since last time), start with a beginner routine to milk any and all noob gains and to learn/polish your form in the basic lifts. Make sure you're on a healthy diet and adjust the total calories according to your BW goals.

It's that simple.
