so I can get enjoyment from deleting you when you start posting non-fitness facebook-esq crap to my feed >:)

I'll add you .... only recently got into running, but my commute was boring me on the bike, so decided to run in instead. I have loads of motivation I can share ... infact if anything I am a little too enthusiastic and require friends to tell me to ease off, rest more and eat more !

having a camera pointed at me and being told I "had" to smile .... yay for the fake smile brigade
-
depends on how much you like using the woo button I guess

there is no such thing as loosing weight "fast" ... if you attempt to do the fast thing, its like struggling in quicksand, you use a lot of energy, it will drain you and you will end up worse off than before. your body is only capable of converting fat to energy at a certain rate ... exceed this rate and the body will…
-
definitely cereal .. granola / muesli ... if you put a "serving in a bowl" its just not worth eating, it will never fill you up .... if you put a satisfying amount in a bowl its 500+ calories Sausages ! .. do they make these things out of pure compressed fat or something Wraps ... 150kcal per wrap ... kind of makes sense I…

I can honestly say in the 44 years of my like I have never been hit on that I am aware of ... hell I am even married with a kid, and I am pretty sure my wife never hit on me !

It could well be a form of shoulder impingement. Whats your mobility like, can you do an over head squat ? .... lift your arms directly above your head, do the funky chicken ??? if its similar to the impingement I had, the only way I solved it was to stop doing overhead lifts and for a while benchpressing with a barbell…

yup ... take the watch off if you start using kettlebells

who ever is paying this guy to advertise on this site is wasting their money :D

Yeah, food is food, there is no good or bad or healthy or unhealthy foods .... just a good and bad diet. So if you want to eat like a toddler then by all means do so, just try to look at your diet from adult eyes and make sure that somehow you are (1) getting the correct number of calories for your goal (2) getting a diet…
-
having 3 main meals is not important ..... eating the right amount of calories from a balanced and varied diet is the important bit. Many people only eat one meal a day (OMAD) .. many people eat in a small time window 5pm - 10pm so if its better for you to just eat one a day, then thats fine ... just make sure you are…
-
if you are planning on training to heart rate zones, then its worth it ... if its just for calorie usage, then no, its still going to be inaccurate .. just differently inaccurate. I use mine these days more as a prompt that I could be pushing harder ... ie when I look down and see I am only doing 120bpm, ill put more…

150g prawns, skillet dry fried with some red onion and dump them on top of 100kcal of salad and veg, which is a lot of green .. sprinkle liberally with chilli's and franks hot sauce you will have enough calories left for a greek yogurt flavoured with zero calory flavour drops The chilli will numb your body and helo you…

all of the above AND it has to be more fun than losing weight .. a lot more fun
-
one idea would be to eat less and workout more and become a naturally slim person yourself .. its what I did to become naturally slim ... although I didnt start as far away as you are ... but that just means your success will be even more inspiring to others
-
Both .. but try and ignore the scale number. What I mean is, eat the correct amount of calories to drop fat at a sensible rate ..... but workout to encourage and plump up your muscles with a decent amount of glycogen so they help you look more toned. A full body workout will also start to improve your posture which will…
-
I also thought it was going to be taking a break from maintenance ... and thought, "what a stupid idea" .... then I thought harder about it and realised taking a break from maintanence is actually a a thing .. only its called "a holiday" or "vacation" and people generally come off maintanence for a week or two and gain…

Not to be the pessimistic one but also prepare yourself for being hungry, when you are in s deficit you will spend a lot more time being hungry, it’s a feeling you have to learn to understand. Nothing bad happens when you are hungry, it’s ok to be hungry, a lot of the time the hunger is your circadian rhythm telling you…
-
as long as you leave promptly and dont spend 15 mins idling the car and chatting on your phone in the street, then no one will care .... the car door closing might momentarily wake them, but then you are gone
-
I can empathise with the OP ... I stopped heavy deadlifting due to hunger issues .. I still lift, I run, I cycle, I do yoga, I swing kettle bells, blah blah blah BUT on the days I used to do heavy barbell deadlifts I could not control my eating .. will power completely broke down and nothing I did would satisfy the urge to…

What are the facilities at your work like ... can you run or cycle in to avoid taking the bus ? I love my commute each day because its free exercise that doesnt require any time on my behalf to do ... its like going shopping and carrying massive bags back, or landscaping the garden .. what was a chore/routine/part of life…
-
cardio ... weights .... the best thing to do is both .. AND, if you are lifting and throwing in a couple of runs with your husband, then you are doing both ... sounds like a marvelous plan to me
-
cheese .. I used to love a bit of cheese with an apple or a packet of potato chips .. turns out that bit of cheese was 400kcal !!!! .... when I finally weight the cheese and realised that 25g is 100kcal, I just didnt bother eating it any more ... 25g ? its just not worth it :cry:
-
I shifted my times ... no one bothers you when they want to sleep, so I now get up early and go to bed early. when I get up, everyone else is asleep, work is closed, shops are shut no one needs feeding etc .. this is me time, I work out (cardio, lifting, yoga foam rolling) ... Then I wake the family and become a slave to…
-
work out the calories for all the ingredients .. add them all together to get a total for the entire recipie, then divide it by the amount of portions you are going to split it into ..... the number will be the amount per portion
-
I swear placebo should be a recognized suppliment ... the fact i, that ironically placebos work. Everything from wearing lucky socks before a game, drinking BCAAS, to taking diet pills ... if it puts you in the zone, then helps .. period, it might not be the cause of your success, but a lot of the time the difference…
-
I love my kettle bells. I decided to give them a go when I started to get quite bad shoulder impingement .. that I self diagnosed to bad posture causing my barbell overhead lifts to be causing my scapular to over rotate on one shoulder as the other shoulder would move it out of position as they were both locked in to the…
-
if you want to call it "keto" then its an all or nothing situation .... in the same way you cant be a vegetarian that eats meat or a vegan that that doesnt tell everyone they are vegan as far as fatloss goes .... eat what you like as long as you are in a deficit ... in someways keeping it low carb 'can' help you because…
