  • Whey protein shakes help me hit my protein goals every day. Tasty, well balanced, easy, portable and flexible (can easily add more, add oats, mix with milk etc).

  • Try to take regular progress pics as you go along - it can be hard to see progress if you're just looking at yourself every day. Pictures are a lot more meaningful than the number on the scale, which varies based on how much water, food, and waste you have at the time. Also, you can stay the same weight and change your…

  • Have you considered a bodyweight routine? With weights, you will only go so far before you have to invest in more gear or join a gym (you need to continue to add weight to progress). With bodyweight, you can increase resistance by doing more advanced positions, and it would build on stuff you would already know from…

  • You're welcome. Btw, I forgot to mention - if you're struggling for a place to do dips - if you have corner in your kitchen worktops, do them there and tuck your legs behind you. As for rows - I started off doing mine with a broomstick under an A-frame ladder!

  • I would recommend trying the BodyweightFitness Beginner's routine (here's a link in a really convenient format - https://fitloop.co/routines/bwf-recommended-beginner-routine and a community here - http://www.reddit.com/r/startbodyweight). Why? + Low cost - to begin with you need no equipment, and once you get strong enough…

  • My wife was initially skeptical about my diet and fitness changes. She questioned me for having protein shakes for breakfast despite knowing nothing about them nutritionally and she got annoyed at me when I spent time working out in the evening (even though I only take the time after our daughter's asleep and all the…

  • Cardio does not add muscle, especially when on a deficit. Nor do you add 1kg of muscle overnight.

  • As other people have said, only diet will reduce the fat - you might be unlucky and your belly is your last place to go. But if you want to have well developed abs underneath try: Hollow holds gymnasticswod.com/content/hollow-body Hanging leg raises http://bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/hanging-leg-raise…

  • Don't worry about stretch marks; my wife has some and I don't care at all. If someone is put off by something as small and superficial as that, then you wouldn't have a future with them anyway, so don't fret.

  • Try and weigh yourself consistently - I weigh myself in the mornings, after I've been to the bathroom and before any food or water. Even doing this, my weight can go up and down 1-4lbs depending on what I did the day before (salty foods make me retain more water). If I weight myself later in the day I can be up to 7lbs…
    in How have i put on 4 lbs??? Comment by neogramps March 2015
  • When you start to plan your days around your calorie intake it becomes easier to avoid calorie dense treats, because you soon realise that if you waste 400 calories on a cookie, you'll be starving later and that 400 calories could have been spent on a small meal or a really filling, nutritious snack.

  • BMI was never intended to be applied to individuals; it was created to look at population statistics across whole countries and how it relates to health. It takes no account of muscle mass whatsoever. If I were to go to the low end of my "healthy BMI", i'd look like i'd been starved for 6 months.

  • Google image search "1lb of fat" - you lost 3 times that in a week - it's a lot more than you think. Healthy weight loss takes time; if you diet too fast you will lose muscle mass, which will end up with you needing to eat even less to continue to lose weight, which sucks. Be patient, and do some strength training and it…

  • I've just started to have to buy some new trousers having gone from a 38-40" waist to a 34" which felt great. But I've not thrown anything out yet; I might do a bulking phase later on this year, so might go up a bit and wouldn't want to have to buy anything for a short time.
