If its a bar and plates then it's not too much! He can add and take off what he needs, start off only using the bar or what he can safely lift, then add. I would think eventually he will need to buy more plates anyway. I started with 100kg for my home gym and had to buy more and more plates. Its only too much if you cant…

Yup last 5-10 lbs here too (probably will be again next year too). It's not fun, some seriously slow progress here as I'm eating 200 below maintance tdee. My first time losing slowly, trying not to run head first into losing too fast. Still on weights mostly with 30min runs twice a week, tabata once a week.... Im getting…

OMG! I have always had a George foreman, I love it and use it twice a day most days. My poor oven is neglected. Atm I'm obsessed with grilling wraps like quasedillas, two wraps throw in some feta chicken, herbs and spinach and smoosh down. Or a wrap pressed full of soft cheese caramel sauce and banana.... Skewers with bbq…

Don't eat as much during the day to save room in your allowed centre for late night snacking? Find something along the lines that you usually crave but with lower calories? (Wish I could tell you how to stop the late night cravings but I never have myself, so just leave room to eat late at night just before bed imo. I have…

I use these all the time now, started with a groupon and spiralled into being where I get most of my meat and snacks! (There is a wowcher offer for a selection box atm.) Not tried the pizza but the chicken is fantastic, the meat good quality and okay value. Tried the novo protein bites and not too keen on them as a snack…

Do you mean a holiday as in Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. or holiday as in vacation? Either way, that's pretty hardcore. You have me beat there. [/quote] Vacation! (Im in the uk.) Christmas day is a scale free day even to me. Lol.

You can download them from http://werkit.com/programs/nrol4w And either edit them using a pdf program on your phone or by hand if you print them. I found then kind of hard to log on apps tbh.

Someone says a food is yummy and your answer is "yes and it's only got ... calories and ...grams of protein/carbs/fat" People tell you you walk fast and you randomly give them an estimate of mph your walking. You take food scales on holiday much to the horror of your family. The list of apps in your phone contains…

Sort of understand what your saying. Sometimes you don't look the way you thought you would when you hit a goal weight. If you were expecting to look super toned, taut stomach etc and you look kind of "skinny fat" and wobbly still I can tell you first hand losing more is not the way to go. I tried that, did not help how I…

(I'm going to assume this is a soup requiring adding water or adding something?) The 100g is of the soup mix uncooked as packaged. (Your not going to eat 100g dry soup mix or undiluted condensed soup) The serving size (150g) is once you have prepped the soup as instructions. So the w

Often while cringing, but I usually try to find a chain resturant selling a similar dish and look up their nutrition on their website.

Anyone know what's in that guys bag? I soooo wanna wear that outfit tomorrow and do that in the car park of the supermarket.... But all of them as I don't drive, my fingers may be purple I may get some odd looks but I ain't walking to the supermarket everyday. Wish I didn't have 4 cats needing litter and food and a…

"Set weight"?

You can just make a thin base as normal (or use half butter half apple sauce.) A tub of 0% greek yoghurt A sachet of cheesecake or white chocolate jell-o (I add a tablespoon of caster sugar sometimes), Mix up with a hand mixer pour onto your normal base, pop in freezer for 30 mins. Then fridge or serve and yummy low, fat…

This^ if you want equipment on the cheap but aren't in any rush Craigslist and gumtree are the way to go! Got my incline bench and squat rack for £ 40, I use adjustable dumbell plates for micro plates £10, the basics allways come up eventually since alot of people buy equipment and give up after a couple of months Heavy is…

Hell no! Usually a reason they are exes not currents. (She could have gone with you, you know?) I'm rather enjoying my empty soul and full pockets now too....

I'm in too! If im not too late? Also got 10lbs ish (give or take) to lose before the July. Reintroducing 45mins on my rest days is no fun. Be great to support each other.

This for me too^ Most of the antioxidants found in green tea can also be found in other herbal teas, the health stores are usually pretty good at finding one to fit what your looking for. maybe find one that tastes nice and doesn't leave you nauseous after used up the green?

One while cutting, two when I'm maintaining. I have cheat evenings not days though, but they can be pretty epic. Weight seems to come right back off and then some 48 hours later whilst keeping me sane and sociable. As too what I typically eat usually American, Mexican or chinese buffet at a resturant. I'm iifym too though…

Jordans skinny (calorie free) coffee syrups are pretty great and on offer atm in tkmaxx atm. I just got 19 bottles in different flavours. (Should keep me caffinetted for a while) The salted caramel chocolate is just amazing in a morning brew! Sodium can be kinda high in some flavours.

Yeah, no clue how anyone can get an accurate calorie count without adding in veggies! Think slimming world and ww are to blame for people thinking them as free... Saying this I admit I can't be bothered to weigh iceburg lettuce and I eyeball my cucumber mostly.

I have to network for work, attend parties, do's and freaking lovely high cal buffets too. Diet tonic water, ice and a slice in hand the whole time. Politely smiling and gesturing with drink seems to hold of the servers at standing events plus the tonic fills me up so I can avoid over doing the food too badly. I'm fairly…

I've not had kids either, it's not just you! I'm in the middle of working on the hanging belly (my exoerimant this year.) but I dint let it bother me too much! I focus in all the bits I'm happy with, arms, legs, slowly my upper stomach... Don't let one trouble spot hold you back! Stretch marks- a moisturiser before the…

I'm sort of experimenting with this atm, had a saggy pouch for years (weightloss-about 100lbs) time-(approx 8 or 9 years)and lifting have 100% helped the poochy bit! it's smaller now and raised a upwards a bit but it still kinda hangs down if makes sense? Still 100× better so I'm happy! I'm now going to drop some weight to…

Are they bigger or just changed shape? Measuring in the same place? Seems unlikely they would have grown massively in two months unless your eating masses more too. Are you eatimg at a large surplus? (Saying that I admit since lifting my legs are a different shape, depends what shape you like I guess?)

Wake up at 6am - breakfast and coffee Then at 8am- either jog or weights depending on day. 9.45am - top up tan etc and snack (often a shake or fluff) (Pretty much do nothing/ wander round aimlessly or renovate my new house/garden.) Snack often about 12.30 Lunch usually about 2pm. Snack at 4pm Dinner 7.30pm Meditate 8.30pm…

I'm going to guess none of the above are accurate too. Personally I'm going by the how much it jiggles/mirror approach my results were on the following. But I'd love to know if anyone has a good way of checking progress too!!!!! scales at my mums house (on the same day) - 21-38% (no way am I 38%) Gym (local) 7point…

I think Indian take away at low cal is almost impossible, if you do find any please let us know!!! (Personally I go for what ever curry I fancy without rice and naan just a chippatti and still usually end up blowing my cal allowance for the day unless I plan in advance. Do love Indian food though! Kinda worth the calorific…

I'm pretty sure calorie burns are over estimated too so maybe try eating half back and see how it goes for a couple weeks? Usually if I'm really hungry esp when upping the workouts it's a sign to slightly up my calories, if I don't exhaustion usually starts in a couple weeks later, and exhaustion is just no fun (nor very…

Lol. Apparently I do. This post made me YAWN (OMG I just did it again. Writting it does too, this is weird...)
