So as that's the case, as you claim, what are you going to do about it?

Yeah fair call. I did read somewhere that due to the makeup of the calories in alcohol - most come from literally the alcohol - you won't put on weight if you're purely boozing. Alcoholics, for example, can be very thin. When you're drinking your body shelves the burning of your food calories to concentrate on the alcohol…

BTW, a lot of what I said is pretty anecdotal - I find it's really easy to say those things without really saying anything meaningful. If you give me a decent idea of your diet and workout routine then I can offer some practical advice. And remember that weight loss is 90% diet - gym is all well and good, but first thing…

Oky doky. Do you know what it will take to get you to your goal weight? What is your goal weight? First step is changing your mindset and realising that the path won't be easy and will take dedication. Controlling your diet is paramount - excuses will cause failure! It's a slippery slope. I found changing my diet was…

I'm gonna leave it there because I don't think this is benefiting the OP, but I didn't mean to 'scold' her as you say. If she is determined, then she has no worry about my comment and would roll her eyes and say 'What does he know?'

As others have said... life is lived better letting go of angers past... If you want others to be nice to you, how about dishing out the same treatment?

Just on that last post - how do you guys fit beer and cider into your lives?

Not faux toughness at all. I've seen many a person attempt to lose weight, make excuses, not succeed and then quit purely because they think it's easy. If you're dedicated and want it, you won't gain weight. The OP has gained weight with this app, exercise and diet watching. I can't see how that's possible if someone is…

Eating back calories after you've exercised is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Two part: Why in god's name do you bother exercising if you're going to put the calories back in? What a waste of time, effort and money! Secondly, it's highly likely you're eating much more than you exercised. For example, half an…

When I started watching my weight, the biggest hurdle for me was shaking bad habits. This was overcome by education – I never realised how much of a negative impact sugar could have on your health/weight, and I never realised how much sugar and fat was in most foods I was eating. So the first thing I learnt to do was read…

Do you have a weight goal? Having any struggles currently?

Hey mates, What are your goals? Do you have any? I find having a specific goal with specific time frame is a huge help. For example, I'm off to Spain in 10 week's time and I want visible abs. So I can budget and plan for that goal.

Here's me a few weeks ago - I've actually gotten worse since then but haven't taken a pic. Looking to strip away another 4kg or so.

Another Aussie - what exactly do you struggle with? Diet? And why do you want to change?

Yeah, I gave it up, it's easy. Don't buy products with sugar in it. After a few weeks of no sugar you won't miss it. There's nutritionally very little positive about sugar.

What do you want? Start with that and work backwards. People tend to want 'things' but don't commit to goals. You need to realise what you want, and then map out how to get there. This applies to everything - career, fitness, sex etc.

Yup, add everything. I'm yet to, but it's cheating and not telling the whole story if you don't. Although how 20 beers is going to stack up... won't be a pretty picture...

As the outer layers of an onion contain more mass/volume than the inner layers, with the same thickness, so too will the weight on your body be more when you are larger than when you have lost weight, with the same layer of fat. What I'm trying to say is, the smaller you get, the larger the impact of weight loss is. 5kg…

It's great that you know the reasons you're going there, you just need to link that with your long-term goals of happiness and strength. Everything has a pay-off, you go to work to earn money to live, for example. Dieting usually isn't fun, but it's often a requirement for weight loss. Same with weight training and…

Slimfast? Check any basic protein powder nutritional information vs the slimfast nutritional information, then check the cost of each per serving. You may be surprised :D

Cottage cheese. Sugar-free jelly. Eggs.

What are your goals? I'm more than happy to help :)

Honestly can't like this comment enough - this is the easiest way to control your diet and reduce cost/work as possible.

From the sounds of your post, it doesn't seem as though you are actually committed to losing weight and maintaining the weight loss. It's a lifestyle change, you can't diet for a few months and then go back to what you were doing earlier. The main thing you need to realise is that this takes real commitment, not just a few…

Yes, but you're still lifting through a larger range of motion, with longer lever arms, so the force would be larger.

If you're not keen to go, then you're probably not enjoying your workout when you DO go, and therefore not pushing yourself as hard as you should? Maybe try a different exercise. Review your goals, what do you actually want, and do you REALLY want it, or are you just comfortable in saying you do? Then try something else…

Yeah, length is proportional to force if you're looking at moments from a physics point of view, so of course the taller you are the more force you have to push. Don't listen to the 'angle' brigade hahahaa what the hell does that mean? You put the same weight on a see-saw in the middle of one side or at the end, which is…

I find it easier. The mindset is the hardest thing, but by now you should have figured: You know what works That it actually DOES work. The first two weeks of dedication are the hardest, but if you truly are doing the right thing dietwise, you should definitely be seeing results at that stage. And thereafter you should be…
