    Any tips on finding the right number of calories for a person to maintain their new weight on?

    Yup! experiment on a 3 weekly basis. No LESS!!! by adding or subtracting 50% of the original increase. Sorry I can't just give you a number, wish I could, but your body and everyone elses has different needs.

    so - If you've lost weight and reached your goal yet 3 weeks later, you've lost more. add say +300 calories for the next 3 weeks. If after that you go over -50% (150 calories)

    choose the numbers to your preference and stick to for 3 weeks.

    Most importantly, if you were HUGE, don't fall into bad habits like fast food and chocolate. they got you into the 'needing to lose weight' position to begin with. Keep up the activity and remember that living / eating healthy is most important, you're goal weight WILL NOT be sustainable forever as you age.

    just advice.

    QUESTION; After viewing your 44 body weight exercises for suicide video I wondered if you knew of any good sources for warm ups?

    My daughters both attend an athletics club and I stupidly agreed to write out descriptions of the most common warm ups and a note of what they help with etc unfortunately, I'm not that knowledgeable in this area and its proving to be harder to find online than I expected. Just need the basics the most runners use such as high knees, heel flicks, cross overs, side steps etc

    does it always have to be calories per day to loose weight or can I (pretty please) eat under my calories for 5 days and then over for 2 days but all the while maintaining my weekly calorie goal?

    I was loosing steadily for 5 weeks - 10lbs. Then I hit a plateau for over a month! I have just lost 1lb again last week. I eat 1200 cals a day - I work out a lot and burn around 600-800 a day - I try and eat back some of these calories so I net around 1000 a day. Why does the body plateau - any advise?

    Mix up your workouts to keep your body guessing. Every 6 weeks change your gym activity to something else. Try HIIT - that'll probably get your burning like no tomorrow!!

    If you ask me, plateaus are one thing and one thing only. Breaking though!! I got hit twice - once on 175lbs and again on 168lbs. I'm currently stuck again at 161/162lbs and by sticking to my plan and doing the right thing, I'll get get past it. Just like you will.

    Please don't get too fired up or upset about it. It's happens to everyone and will

    Big like flabby or big like weak abdominal wall?

    I'm thinking you mean flabby. Stubborn fat around the stomach is the most common thing ever. Eating right and WEIGHTS will tighten that whole core area in no time!! you don't want the gym though, right? No problem.

    44 bodyweight exercises that will have you in tears when you're finished doing just 3 of them.

    If you do decide to purchase more equipment, get a bench and do squats or better yet the 5x5 program will turn your stomach into a washboard before you know it!!!

    Thank you. I'll check it out :smile:

    What about advice for a weak abdominal wall ? ( multiple csections )
    I definitely see and feel a difference after ab exercises, just wondering if there are any specific ones your recommend.


    Thanks !

    does it always have to be calories per day to loose weight or can I (pretty please) eat under my calories for 5 days and then over for 2 days but all the while maintaining my weekly calorie goal?

    I practice the Daily approach to under eating my calories but the 5:2 diet which incorporates 2 days of fasting plus 5 days of normal eating, proves that yes, averaging it per week does have benefits and will work. Whether it's a slower or quicker method to aid your weight loss can only be proven by trial and error!

    In your opinion how important is it to maintain a balance of mainly carbs/protein during the day and fats/protein at night? If I have a carb-based evening meal will that significantly impact my weightloss?

    Could you please help me set my macro's. I've recently hit my goal weight and I'm now trying to maintain (I'm 5 foot 3 and 117 lbs).

    What percentage of fat/protein/carbs should I be eating? Please take into account that I'm currently training for a half marathon so I'm doing a lot of running. Will this make a difference - will I need to keep my carbs up?

    Thanks!

    When it's eaten is not important at all in my opinion. Just hit your carbs/protein/fat goals in the any given 24 period and you'll be fine!

    Should have mentioned I could write a book on stretching (it was because I done stretch info sheets I got landed with this) its purely the drills along the track I'm stuck with.

    Great answer though as I didn't mention this and stretching is almost always overlooked, thanks.

    advice on weak abdominal wall?

    I did this and saw great results. As you progress increase the length of time and number of reps as you feel comfortable to keep your body guessing

    You’re weight will fluctuate every single day. I’ve woken up some morning 4lbs lighter than the day before.
    A week of you working your balls off and eating right will probably look like this on a scale...

    I was enjoying this thread until, unfortunately I came across this improper use of "you're". That's when you lost all credibilty with me. It sounded so well thought out up to that point.
