Well, here's one thing.... You've got us in your corner. Hey just take each day as it comes. Don't keep looking at the scales and measuring urself. Find workouts and activities, dancing and nice walks that make u happy and laughing. Make sure your diet is yummy and fun, but the right kind of carbs, fats and proteins.…

If you're new to intense\this training, then maybe it's a shock. Before exercise, warm up. Just do the same movements as the workout, but lighter resistance for a bunch if reps, so it's not a shock to ur system. After workout, cocoa can help relieve pain. I think doing a 'bar hang' after lifting helps. I recommend using…

I was thinking the same. However they mean by 'exercise' just walking around, shopping...not being sedentary. I wonder why anyone wants to be in a gym every day! Doing weights every day is madness. If you do weights, take a day off between sessions to recover/rest/grow. That's if you do a 3-day split. If u do full-body…

Maybe I can help. There are low GI options. Before I go into them, I think it'd be a good idea for u to mention what you craze, favourite goodies. Then we can profile your tastes and come up with similar texture/taste alternatives. Buy some: Agave nectar Xylitol sweetener Raw honey Manuka honey Goji berries Sugarfree…

Try counting your calories in another app, maybe. I say this because I thought I was eating less than the number of calories required, and it was because there are some inaccurate entries in the app. Eg 'fresh meadow' pasta is wrong in calories and macros! To raise your calorific intake, maybe some fish oil would help. Or…

I agree. I think it's 'pointless' trying to calculate it. I think you're best to do your calories and macros as per your weight...and your goals. Then just eat like that and check you physique in the mirror and then weigh yourself. If you have been training, and u look podgy, then you need less calories! To be trying to…

Hey, be healthy. Stay positive and upbeat. Oh...and be positive, too. Have you thought about getting healthier and stronger, too? If you set yourself some measurable, chaseable targets, you can look forward to your workouts. they will be a challenge..be rewarding and exciitng! make sure you have your calories and macros…

Yes, the tale of the tape. Also general progress like "hey, I ran for the bus and wasn't out of breath." Or..."the shopping basket doesn't feel heavy"

I agree totally. Throw them trigger/junk foods away...now. Don't hesitate and rationalize (the price). It's that sugar, salt and processed carbs and nasty fats! as long as people avoid Iceland Frozen 'Foods', they're ok.

track your macros and make sure you're getting in good fats. Go to an organic shop and get: agave syrup, honey, xylitol, organic ketchup. Goji berries. that way, you have 'sweet stuff' . Then look for sugar free, salt-free peanut butter. Also the chocolate spread. it'll be high % cocoa. Hopefully no sugar added. I'm trying…

Well said. I'd like to add. you say you don't want to add unwanted calories, fat, sugar, etc. When yopu say 'unwanted', you gotta face it, you're going to add calories anyway. As for fat - just keep within your daily macro targets. You'll find that the myfitnesspal app tells you to eat a good amount of fat...and lots of…

Sure it's possible. I reckon you may benefit by traing shorter times, and a few less times a week. The reason: you might benefit from more intensity/urgency....and the rest days will help. Don't worry about your weight so much. Track your progress. Ie, how much stronger you're getting...how quicker...how much more stamina,…

I've just turned 40. I'm actually stuck between wanting to 'bulk up' a bit, and wanting to lose excess tummy. not fat, just fussy! :)
