Bump

I'm having the trouble of getting weights onto my back for squats, looks like i'll have to migrate to the mens section... At what weights should you start looking for a spotter?

Chch girl studying up in Auckland, welcome to the site :)

A block of chocolate over two days :P But boy it tasted amazing!

As long as you try averaging it out over a week, and its not every day you will be fine. Some days I go over by 300-400 calories and just move on and try do better from then. Good luck :)

I'm 21, looking for friends that eat more. Add me :)

I enjoy lifting, but keep it short and simple with compound moves. I hate cardio and abs, so at most i'll elliptical for awhile to warm up. Wish I enjoyed cardio more :P

How much are you eating a day? I found that I could not maintain a strict diet so now try and eat more everyday and not eat back exercise calories

Thighs are always the last place i lose weight, don't mind having wider hips cause i like my hourglass, but would love slimmer inner thighs!

After uni or night time. I find it hard enough to get up in the morning :P And normally if I don't have enough food in my belly I get really light headed, so generally has to be after lunch.

What's your name? Jamie Where do you live? Auckland NZ What are your food vices/ cheats? Bread and pastry What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? Love to eat What's your favorite exercise? Squats What exercise would you like to try this year? body weight pull ups What is your biggest trouble…

I like to eat, so I use MFP to make sure im staying under 2000 (normally eat 1700-2000 a day). I am using the fat2fit calculations atm, so don't eat back my exercise calories. Cardio and ab workouts are the devil so I generally avoid those as much as I can :P All this means I'll prob lose weight pretty slowly, but…

21, add me :)

I'm going for about 57kg (125ish), although this might change if I can put on a bit of muscle

Yeah good luck everyone, this time round I think i'll focus more on lifting heavy and enjoying the food. And hopefully not fall off the wagon everytime I go home :P

Did you set your activity level at sedentary when you started? If so change it to lightly active or active. If you already use one of these it should be accounted for.

Sorry to rant but I just realised it took me 5 months to lose the last 4.5kg and get to my goal weight, and 1 month to put it all back on again :(

This is definitely my biggest pet peeve, i could almost do that in a sitting sometimes :P

I got down to around my goal weight of 125, then fell of the rails a little back up to 135. Finally refocusing and hope to get back down, and add a lot more muscle as at that weight it was still a little flabby especially in the legs. I found at 125 my upper body was quite slender, but my legs were still much bigger than i…

Thanks for the replies :smile: . Its probably stupid how much a few replies meant when I checked in, I'm looking at eating about 1500 calories at the moment, and then work out 3-4x a week at about 300 calories a session. Thinking about it I prob eat back at least half of those in my post workout snack (normally a muesli…
