Wow! You look great. What a difference in body shape without you losing a pound. Fantastic

An inspiration right there!

Lift and lift heavy :)

I started January 2nd 2013 lost five pounds but a heap more in inches. Im doing a programme three times a week of very heavy lifting 5x5, 5x4 and 5x5x3x8. The scale has really been pushed to the side while Im lifting it does no favours for me mentally. The tape measure is slowly becoming my friend

Im not doing the stronglifts programme but Im lifting 5x5. Im alot stronger and have lost inches. You should definitely try Stronglifts.

7-8 weekdays and 8-10 weekends Ive lost 5 pounds since Jan 2013 Lost more in inches.

Ive read about three books out of them Body for Life was the best and it worked. It also set me up with tools I will hold on for the rest of my weightlifting and cardio days :)

The FT7 is excellent. You can swm in it too. Ive heard here that the battery is easier to replace yourself rather than the FT4.... The FT7 is an excellent tool. I use it whenever Im exercising including playing sports.

ON Optimum Go Whey Protein....THE MOST DISGUSTING Protein powder I have ever tasted. Doesnt thicken up either. Going back to BSN

I always thought that too but so far I havent felt the need to faint but may of had lactic acid build up once in a while. Im definitely hungry after my workout though

Cut the OJ add yoghurt and or unsweetened Almond Milk

I workout early morning before work. I dont eat beforehand. Post workout I will have a protein shake or an egg on wholemeal toast with a coffee

I can drink a strong coffee before bed and it has no effect on me. Also doesnt supress my hunger :( lol

I weigh twice a week but Friday is my official weigh in day. I measure maybe every month or two

I rest 60 seconds per set and 90 seconds Never longer than that. when Im moving onto another exercise. I leave my HRM going the whole time (I know its not an accurate count) I also eat an extra 500 calories on lifting days.

I dont know if you can actually stop binging fully if you are so used to it?? I dont binge often but when I do I make the most of it :/ I usually forget about it and hop back on the wagon the next day afterall that is all I can do.

Thanks :) Wonder how sore I will be tomorrow :) hehe

Chicken Breast Marinated (got the idea off MFpers) Wish I knew this years ago lol duh!! Brocoli, mixed vege and some chinese brown rice.

Ive looked back on the past week on your diary you need to cut the processed food especially the KFC. Have a decent breakfast too Small changes and log EVERYTHING be accountable.

I have various workouts for the bike but I left my book at home. Its like doing HIIT training I up the level every minute for six minutes then drop a few levels for one minute then hike up each level every minute. I do this for 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Doing it this way for me doesnt make me feel bored and the time goes…

Its very hard to monitor your calories while lifting. Even the HRM is inaccurate.

Four days! Imagine how you will be feeling after four weeks :)

I made it to stage three then got a nasty injury tbh it wasnt my cup of tea anyway. I found more success with the Body for Life programme there I learnt the basics of lifting not all this flash press ups, lunges,AMRAP stuff just wasnt built for me hehe. There is a group on this site that is informative for the NEw…

I purchased a Polar FT7 a month ago and it is fantastic. Makes me work harder and the calories burnt is an eye opener for the better

Ooooh I feel your pain. The past year Ive injured my knee, shoulder and archillies. I definitely take more care of my body like stretch more and listen to the rehab doctor on what exercises I should do. Hope you bounce back soon

Great thread :)

I started January the 2nd and have lost 5lbs. Some days Im ok with that and others its a struggle. Im a lifter, and I lift heavy so I can't expect to see dramatic changes in weight loss. I have lost inches though so I must be doing something right. Looking at doing this for a year hopefully with some great results at the…

My waist first then my hips and face

Im female and need ample room for all my shower gear, make up, hair dryer etc etc. I have one with two side pockets and a pocket in the front. It is perfect :) fits in a locker too :)

Im squatting 50 kilos (not including the weight of the bar) Im actually beginning to squat lower and feeling more comfortable with that than when I did squatting full stop with higher reps. I feel I have bettr control when the weight is heavier on the barbell :)
