Hi everybody I am just starting up Gym again after almost 6 months off I have gained about 7 kg and I'm not feeling very happy about myself atm. I'm currently 75kg and would like to lose at least 10 kg by the start of September because we are going on a 2 week cruise to the pacific islands and I want to wear a bikini without feeling self concious and just in general have more energy and take care of myself a lot more.

My healthy BMI is between 58-63 kg so my over all goal would be to weigh 60 kg. I'm going to start using the couch 2 5 k's app as I was using this before and really liked it I also am going to to weight training as well on alternate days. i am planning to do an hour of cardio mon, wed, fri and weight training tue, thurs, sat. along with a 1300 calorie limit.

Is anybody else doing a similar routine? would love to here feed back thanks :)

    Well I started on Jan 1st this year prior to my dream holiday in March and lost 11.5lb by sticking to 1200 calories, I did eat back some of my exercise calories but not all of them, so as long as you get your head in the right place and accept that that's where you want to be and this is what you have to do to achieve it you will be fine. Good luck
