I've not done the 5x5 but currently doing the 5/3/1, all good so far!

What colour lip gloss do you use? i'm in!

My number one excuse is 'it's ok I'll eat properly tomorrow!' Whether its because I didn't plan my food properly or end up eating out with family/friends.

Looking for friends too! I'm 31, 5'11" and currently 269lbs. Aiming to lose 50lbs but also strength training. Feel free to add me :smile:

I've found the most accurate way is to buy a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. Mine has showed me that I actually burn more calories weight lifting than the majority or my cardio sessions but the results will be different for everyone. :smile:

Good bench! If you don't mind me asking what's you current body Weight? :smile:

The 3 day a week suits me best with family life, Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday but I have started to do 2 sessions of cardio on a Monday & Friday over the last few weeks to help assist my weight loss. :)

Hi, I've read Bigger, Leaner, Stronger and been really impressed. I've been following the training routine for 7mths and didn't change my diet until recently as my focus was on regular training but I have lost both weight and inches and my strength has gone up by at least 50% on the main exercises, with a 100% increase in…

You may be offsetting your cardio weight loss by gaining muscle during weight training rather than slowing your weight loss. Your best guide will be your body measurements and your existing clothes, etc.

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Anyone feel free to add me too. I am looking to lose 69lb as my first milestone and always looking for people to support me and for me to support them :)

Hi :) -28 -lost 7lb and looking to lose another 42lb as my first milestone -always looking for support and motivation and i will do my best in support you. Feel free to add me.

I always work out at about 4pm, i don't have time in the morning's before work. I always find i have to go straight from work or else something else crops up. I do like that time though because your body recovers whilst you sleep, which they say is a 3rd of the battle!! (3rd diet, 3rd exercise and a 3rd rest) :)

I've always had my best weight loss through lifting weights (a few years ago now). I lost about 3inches on my waist and my strength almost doubled but my weight stayed the same and i didn't bulk up, just toned up. Just trying to get back into it again now! I have just finished reading the 'new rules for lifiting for men'…

Hi Kat, I know the feeling, I don't have an eating disorder but i do have huge problems at night when i am at home and with the quantity of food i eat. This is my second attempt at MFP and hopefully it will be more successful than the last! I have sent you a friend request and hopefully we can help motivate each other!…

I get mine from www.affordablesupplements.co.uk and have always had very good service. I like the instant Whey from Reflex but i have found Maximuscle to taste the best, but it is more expensive. I also find that Maximuscle seems to work better for recovery, etc after a workout (but everyone is different) so i switch…
