I'll have a quick look @vikinglander

I suppose though, although a calorie is a calorie, depending on what look you go for aesthetically, surely it must matter, if I wanted to lean out to say 10% bodyfat looking like a muscular athlete, than the type of food I eat should matter or shouldn't it? So someone who worked out and ate clean, would they look any…

Thanks guys

Thanks!

There are reputable online supplement companies, such as myprotein in the UK for example... The shop prices are extortionate!

Thanks guys, your advice is appreciated!

I'm on about 20 ish bf, now, so short term goal is to get to 15 by July time (maybe earlier) any advice @dirtbaghiker? I'm training about 4 days a week, heavy compound, bench,deadlift, overhead press, squats, machines too but rarely doing about 15 mins hiit too for cardio, I'm thinking about ramping up the cardio to lose…

Do you mean any supplements, even whey protein?

Yeah I'm doing exactly that, I don't count exercise calories, just 2100, and try to hit my macros. Worryingly, Im always slightly under though, hitting approx 2000 cals,don't know how detrimental that is.

Can I just say,age should be no barrier to your health, I'm 36 and I'm fitter now than most of my 20's, after I got married about 10 yrs ago I let my self go for the majority of it, I got to about 200+lbs at my worst, than in 2015, decided I've had enough and just decided to change my life style, no diets or anything, your…

I agree, I've read some horror stories!

Yeah, well apparently when combined with L theanine, it give you the benefits of caffeine but takes away the jitters, is what I've been reading anyway.

So the general consensus seems to be that personality is the big one,above looks, but when you look around you, how many good looking women /men have unattractive partners? It's very rare, people seem to go for people on par with them, so good looking men/women, moderate men/women and so on. I would say generally just…

Yeah, right that's a good one.

Yeah I think that.

Come on..personality no matter what anyone says will never be 100%, for me it's definitely personality, over looks but aesthetically there has to be some thing

Thank you for that!

Ok, it is literally 7lbs, maybe I'm just trying to get there quicker, I very much appreciate everyone's help on this,thank you, I think I have some idea as to what I need to do now.

Prob just half stone now, but I mainly stick to the same calories excerices or not, in relation to losing muscle doing cardio, I read that doing too much will eat in to your muscles, but then again there is a lot of Bro science on the t'internet

500-700 approx, I don't count my excerices calories either so it is more on workout days

Thank you guys, excellent advice!

I don't think there is a physical reason, so maybe I'm not, I suppose I'm trying to do as much as I can without on a calorie deficit without losing much muscle or injuring myself.

Hi ninerbuff, as a professional would you say additional cardio would mean loss muscle for me, being in a deficit? Or would you say I could add more?

agreed,agreed and agreed!!

No harm in everything in moderation as "they" say.

I think loads of people use the holidays as an excuse to exaggerate their normal behaviour, I see it with people at work, ironically those people are the ones on diets all year and don't lose any weight.

I think I need new scales! lol, sometimes I could be up to a kilo heavier than lighter first thing in the morning.

I'm inclined to agree with this!

Bald here, see profile pic!

There's none coffee lovers out there? Wow!
