Stay well away from cardio then. Get picking heavy stuff up!

What have you been doing to get those arms?! They’re amazing!

I lost 10lbs per month for the last 3 months so I’ve just hit 30lb loss. I started on 1500cals per day then hit a mini plateau so dropped to 1200. I was too hungry so I’m currently on 1300 😂. I have a cheat day on Sunday and eat what ever. My exercise started off as 7 min YouTube vids for arm, abs, legs and I’ve built up…

Original start weight May 2018 205lbs Start weight Aug 179lbs Aug goal 172lbs Ultimate goal 140lbs Aug 3: 177.5 Aug 10: 175.5 Aug 17: Aug 24: Aug 31:

I’m so partial to late night snacking too! Definitely works for me to allow this some days. I also have a cheat day once a week and eat what I want. I stick to 1300cals 5-6 days with at least 3 workouts per week. I’ve lost 30lbs in 3 months.

It changed s*** to kitten 😂 🐱

I started on here at 205 and I’d already lost 14lbs then. I felt like *kitten*!! I’ve lost 44 lbs now, still eating naughty foods, just in moderation. I stick to 1300cals a day eating what I fancy and I have one cheat day. I’ve gradually built up exercise. I started with 7 min workouts. Small changes lead to big things.…

I’ve started with 8kg (18lb) it’s fine for everything I’ve been doing so far. I just find it a bit too heavy for bicep curls at the moment. I can just manage to do the overhead presses (one arm) I definitely feel like I’ve worked out after using it! I had very little upper body strength but I’ve been working on some…

Thank you! I’ll check them out. I’ve been doing one by HASfit but only a 15 min one then I’ve been doing two 10 min ones (all back to back) by ChiChi if you’ve heard of him. I’ll defo have a go at these. I like to mix things up 😃

@sijomial thanks! Just found it and entered it that way 👍🏼

WOW!!!!! I’ve just looks at your pics and read the thread! Amazing. I’m so inspired. I don’t go to the gym, I just work out at home so I doubt I’ll get into strong lifts. I have every intention of working my way up the kettlebell weights though. I will have a look into the program you suggest. Thanks so much!

Wow you look amazing! I can see how toned your legs are. Fingers crossed it works for me. I’ve done a 30 min workout and my thighs and glutes are burning lol

It’s for a full body 30 min kettlebell workout. I guess it’s classed as strength on here so it doesn’t tell you calories. I’ve been doing reps, I’ve been doing each exercise for one minute following a YouTube vid. I’ve looked at online estimates and they range from 240-600 🤦🏻‍♀️

You only fail if you quit! Don’t let a bad meal/day/week ruin it. Just draw a line and move on. I’ve just had an amazing cheat day eating all the crap I wanted and filling my belly but tomorrow is a new day. I’ll be on my spin bike, lifting my kettlebell and sticking to my calories. One day won’t put back the 2 stone I’ve…

I’m from Derbyshire. Feel free to add me! 😃. Started back on here in May. Lost 2 stone since then. I get married in Feb and bought my wedding dress in a size 12 when I was still a size 18 😂. Motivation right there 💪🏼👰🏻 I have a 7.5month old baby boy and a 7 year old. Both pregnancies made me PILE weight on (which I lost by…

Omg I’ve done the exact same thing!! 🤣. I’ve got about another 20lbs to lose to fit in mine. I get married in Feb next year.

That’s commitment right there 💪🏼 well done! An amazing achievement🙌🏼

I lost 20lbs and couldn’t tell. I didn’t feel any different and I was still wearing the same clothes. However, when I measured myself I’d actually lost 11 inches on my waist and hips. I must of been really squashing myself into my jeans 🤣 Now I’ve lost another 7lbs, I can see and feel a difference and I’ve got in some…

Did you just lift or do cardio too? I’m currently eating approx 1300cals per day, and doing 20-40 mins exercise 3-5 times a week. I would LOVE to get your results. I have 5 inches to lose from my waist, 5 from my hips and 2 from bust.

These photos are 2 months apart. Work in progress! I still have 39lbs to go 🤞🏼

I’m from Derbyshire. Anyone feel free to add me 👌🏼

Just added you. I lost 67lbs a while ago then it gradually keeps back on. I had another baby and I’ve got another 39lbs to lose. I’ve lost 40lbs so far (25lbs since I started with MFP) Hit an annoying plateau at the moment 😕

Can you gain muscle while eating 1200cals a day? I sometimes go up to a max is 1500 maybe 2 days a week. I’ve plateaued recently so started exercising (20mins HIIT spin bike) 20 mins strength training on arms, abs, legs. Weight is still not moving on the scales ☹️ I’m currently 179lb and want to get to 140lbs 😕

I put on close to 70lb with my pregnancy! About 50% of my body weight! Lol! He's one now and I've lost it all and a little bit more. I'm now just wanting to lose another 10lb to get smack bamg in thr middle of the healthy bmi. I lost two stone without trying in the first 8 weeks then got stuck. I stayed the same for 6…
