Thanks. That's what I keep saying. Think I'm a tad harsh on myself sometimes.

Not always. I try to get 10 on majority but as I'm upping strength it's been 8s

Thank you. I've lost 5 stone since the start. Now I think it's the last slog to get to where I need and I'm becoming impatient! I'll take your advice and will get there eventually x

Currently eating in a slight deficit. So 1800 calories. I appreciate all your guidance x

To tone up and lose body fat along with gaining strength. :)

Thanks. I wouldn't say I'm constantly limiting carbs. I up them on training days and reduce on rest days. Fat stays at 30-40g a day. I like eating lots of chicken and other protein and stops me reaching for other bad food.

I just wonder when do you start getting bulky? Obviously the heavier you lift the bigger the muscle?

Thanks for your advice. Currently doing 3 sets of 8. I have a personal trainer who advises me with a plan but just need to lose more fat I guess as it's making my arms look bulky. Thanks

@92joann it probably started being by noticeable by about 2.5/3 stone. Mentally I'm still picking up clothes that are much bigger than I need so I guess I need to train my mind x

Wow! 50lb! Well done! Where abouts are you from? I've lost 77lb and hoping for another 28lb! Happy to find out more and become MFP buddies! X I'm Sarah btw!

@PISTASZCZUK I haven't filled my log in since the beginning, only started again this week as have a holiday to trim down for, I will accept now and you can message me.whenever thanks xx

@chelseahatch24 a stone is 14lb x

@peakydave I started by cutting down on sugar and upping my water intake, then making sure I had meat and veg and a small amount of carbs on my plate, I'd try not to eat too much fruit too as your body can store it as fat. I mainly walked as exercise. I hope this helps! Thank you x

@smorphey17 around a year but on and off. Some days I felt like giving up! But I stuck at it. Remember if you want something bad enough, youll stick at it x

Thank you! Hard-work does pay off eventually. This last hurdle is so difficult..... X
