I am the same as you here, no trouble bulking (yay, i think? lol) What i've found is that the fat on top of the muscle is whats making your arms etc look bigger, as i've been losing the fat from my arms i'm less concerned about turning into the hulk :laugh:

its one serving

This I think it probably goes the other way as well, when people don't understand how they let themselves get this far gone, you look for what you want to see in the mirror, rather than what is there.

I feel as though a lot of people have missed the point of the topic...? :ohwell: Its about not feeling like you've really achieved much even though part of you knows you have.

Wow thats a huge amount of weight for such a short period of time, although its normal to lose a lot of water weight etc at the start, so don't be surprised if it slows down from here. I have the same feeling, I think in time it will get better. For me though, its more of a patience thing, i still feel a long way from my…

I put all of my strength exercises from NROLFW in the strength session with my reps and weights, and then i put the burn in the 'cardio' section based on my HRM. I'm doing stage 2 at the moment, so i have 75 second rests between sets.

I stop mine when my heart rate has dropped back down most of the way. In terms of logging i subtract my TDEE for that period of time from the HRM calories to get my total exercise calories burned

Thing with eating back exercise calories you worked out based on a HRM is to subtract your TDEE for that time period to get your actual exercise calories. Say my HRM says I burn 600 calories in 60 mins, but if I didn't do any exercise for that hour i'd normally burn 90 calories by just existing. So rather than eating 600…

kindra 25 ? i'm terrible at telling ages haha

The 'one old weird old tip to reduce your belly fat' ofcourse ;)

I'm also doing C25K, loving it. I have a POLAR FT7, its great, make sure you get a HRM that has a chest strap. Some chest straps are more plasticy. Goodluck with your running :flowerforyou:

My advice is to lift as heavy as you can while still being able to use proper form, and keep putting the weights up as you get stronger. Have a protein shake after your workout, and rest the muscle groups you work for 48 hours so they can repair. Also, if you're trying to lose weight, don't get discouraged if your scale…

3 days seems like an eternity for stuff like that! Society is faster paced now too, I say sooner - if thye like you they would have already made up their mind, it doesn't take 3 days.

haha congratulations! :)

Ron Wasserman - GO GO POWER RANGERS lol, not really :P

try stretching more and using the foam rollers on your shins. I had all sorts of problems with my shins too.

oh i love when stuff like that happens!! :D

I get stared at when I lift too, doesnt' bother me. I just think "yes, thats right buddy, i put the weights UP after you used them" :laugh:

^^this strong core & using your core when you lift = happy back

bump :)

8 gorgeous calves!

i'm 12 workouts into NROLFW :) Love it.

my legs get really ticklish when the muscles are super tight. That may have happened if you've been working out heaps in an effort to lose weight?

awesome job, congrats :D

FINALLY! thank you! lol :drinker: its ONLY INCORRECT if someone was to say "1 pound of muscle weighs more than 1 pound of fat", but i'm yet to see anyone who originally wrote that - they only ever say "muscle weighs more than fat", which, it does! :flowerforyou:

Make sure you measure as well, scales are not the greatest way to watch your progress

gorgeous! You've definitely lost everywhere. Your waist looks so much smaller!! Great job :)

huge visual loss! awesome job

awesome job :) i'm at 100 days in a couple I think! What is your start and current weight?
