8 - but I'm a group ex instructor/personal trainer so I change clothes multiple times a day - need a couple washed at a time

I've gone through the same thing throughout my journey. I know it's not as simple as motivation - no matter how much I told my mind that's gonna set me back I still didn't talk myself out of eating/binging (mine was evenings after a healthy day) It sounds cliche but after a couple of bad binges in the early days I replaced…

I cycle it so I had 8-9 weeks not touching it, and then I'll have a week where I can Even if this week I tend to not drink more than once, not because I only allow myself that, just because I don't feel the need to after 9 weeks without it I get better results whilst I'm not drinking

Oh myyy - just tried this out with banana protein and banana's amazing! bit full though :)

I've struggled with the same issue! I tend to make sure I save some calories for the evening, but make sure that I consume small amounts of different healthy foods - makes me feel like I've eaten more when in fact it's still the same amount. I still consider it a challenge, but it is definitely a test of willpower - and…

Depends on the type of training I'm doing I train twice a day - on days without classes I burn anything from 300-600 Class days I burn around 400-700

I would've said that your gaining muscle, which weighs more than fat - leading to a decrease in body fat and would explain the lack of weight loss! Stop focusing on the scales! You can get a leaner, more toned body without dropping pounds and pounds! The inches are displaying that! You're body is changing!

Well I was slightly motivated and was going to the gym every now and again - but then I saw a photo of myself with a few friends and was disgusted! I had to make a change and that's what kick started me to change my lifestyle for the better!

I'm 19, 5'10 I've lost 46lbs I have another 22lbs to go to reach my goal weight!

As long as it's not a diet with an expiration date, it has to be a permanent lifestyle change for it to work Just stick to your calories, keep burning off calories with P90x and creating a calorie deficit and you'll get steady weight loss, but you have to be PATIENT! Also make sure that your calories are 'good calories'…

Organic rice cakes and peanut butter - just too good!! :S

I live in Essex, England and I work as a fitness instructor and a catering assistant :)

Whole meal toast and boiled eggs (This is usually my favorite) Whole grain rolled oats and honey Wholemeal bread and turkey bacon Protein shake and whole meal toast (If I'm in a rush)

Heaviest: 106kg Current: 85kg Ultimate goal - 75 kg (maybe 70kg) Height - 5'10 Age - 19

Your weight will fluctuate, a lot of the time it's not to do with your diet, just your body

I started out in the same boat, eating pre packed and fast foods way too much! I never had vegetables or anything that required much preparation really. When I started my journey I cut down the amount I was eating of those foods and now about 7 months later there are no pre packed foods in my house at all. Fast foods are…

Combine cv training with weight training as well secondly, got this piece of info the other day from one of the other trainers - any weight lost is 60% muscle and 40% fat There you go another reason weight training is important

I tend to split each food up and search for similar things on my fitness pal. I don't always get an exact match but I get the closest I can - Even better if the nutritional information is on the restaurants website like quite a few do now Just estimate the portion size and try and find the closest thing to it :smile:

I have Lonsdale training gloves, they're good for both weight training and are padded for boxing I needed both uses and they were pretty cheap, great grip too! Purchased from sports direct

You could work on your hamstrings and try and balance the size out slightly?

Alternatively, if you want a more accurate number of calories consider investing in a heart rate monitor - great investment! make sure it comes with a chest strap though!

haha this post made my day!! Brilliant point haha!

I can't wait!! Wish they would just release it already!! :D

I tend to stick to two muscles per day for example: Monday- Quads/Hamstrings/Glutes Wednesday - Chest and Delts Thursday - Biceps and Triceps Friday - Core Sunday - Traps/Lats/Rhomboids I add in cardio each day as well as doing various classes, but I stick to the same muscles for each day

If you are regularly training already I would recommend Insanity, I recently completed it and highly recommend it! Although it does require an extreme amount of dedication and perseverance as it's tough and you have to push through! If you want results I'd say go for insanity but do not be tempted to give up when it gets…

Self control and will power What do you want more, the body you've dreamed of for years or the food thats going to last seconds and you are probably gonna regret eating! Eat clean but allow yourself to have cheat meals

Also look at what kind of carbs you are consuming. Try consuming less refined carbs i.e. white bread, white rice etc. and swap these for whole grains such as whole meal bread, brown rice etc.

It depends what day of the week it is, as each day I train a different muscle/set of muscles If I'm training 2 muscles I will do 3 different exercises with 3 sets of each, 10-15 reps e.g. If I was training chest and shoulders Pec flyes 12x3 - 7kg Shoulder press (machine) 10x3 - 25kg Chest press (machine) 12x3 - 30kg Front…

5am - I make sure I eat before I train though, so I don't get out the door at that time lol

6 week 6 pack is good for getting a high burn if you can't get to the gym. I don't use it on its own though I combine it with other methods of training.
