What can I say? bit of a wipeout of a week - I had a book(aka wine!) club on thursday night & from then to a party on Sunday it was not the best. Got down to 127.4 earlier in the week but back up to 129 this morning - so no loss this week.

I did the massive weekend for you this week Joseph! Well done on the consistency and the nice loss. I will update in the morning.

I'd aim for bmi 24 which is 65kg for yourself, but if you're doing lots of resistance training you migth find yourself fitting in to your size10's before that.

I'm not sure which ccalculator you used on the site? Your body fat % and your weight in pounds aren't the same thing. 28%bf is pretty ok, so you must have some nice muscle in those pounds. But your bmi is 37.3, to get that in to the healthy range you'd need to get to 128. If you do that nice & slowly you'll retain your…

That IS good, nice loss! So here's the cals/exercise for each day and my weigh in the next morning I have included the net cals too. I'm not sure I'm doingt he fat2fit thing properly at all at this stage....because my net calories are still around the 1300 mark...thoughts please? Sunday - 1518/300=1218 - 129.8 Monday -…

If you heat frozen berries in the microwave and then top with the yoghurt, the hot/cold contrast is nice. I like almonds or walnuts with manuka honey too.

I would also rec taking photos once a month too - in your underwear - front & side shots. I did Chalean Extreme and didn't see much difference in numbers on scales or tape but you can see a difference in the photos, esp in the tummy

Week 2 results Below I will list the prev days intake (food/exercise) and the following mornings weight. My goal is to eat 1585 (my sedentary target on fat2fit) and then some igf needed, but not all of my exercise cals. Sunday - 1694/325 - 129.2 Monday - 1683/208 -129 Tuesday - 1617/242 - 128.6 Wednesday - 1710/492 - 127.6…

Those great cheekbones were buried! Well done on great progress.

Great to have ye join me Joseph and Ben. Joseph I like your number crunching! I wonder am I still eating too little if I'm going for 1585 food and not eating my 200 or so exercise cals, not much better than the 1200 net cals MFP gives me. Hmmm. What do you think? Good luck with the new plan Ben, hope it smashes that…

I use the vanilla kinetika whey and have 1 scoop made with skim milk & 50g frozen banana or berries. It's my 3pm snack most days.

You will not turn in to a body builder, you do not have enough testosterone. Concentrate on how your physique is improving instead of the numbers on the scales :)

You can SO do it! You should add to those goals what your (non-food of course!) reward will be when you achieve each milestone. My friend did ww and awarded her €10 for every pound she lost, when she got to goal she had a wodge of money to spend on a new wardrobe - wish I had that kind of cash!

That's what I'm doing - going for sedentary cals and leaving my exercise cals - 200-300x 6 times a week - be (sometime eat up to half of them but trying not to) . The podcasts are fantastic - I listen to one each evening while I'm doing the dishes :D

Hiya, it's their whole approach rather than one particular episode. The calculator is here though http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ and that will give you the calories they suggest. there are some good audio segments ont he website homepage the summarise the major points Down another 0.2lbs this morning :)

Cool! I must say life is more fun with 300+ more cals, lol! I look fwd to seeing how the coming weeks pan out for both of us.

So the results are in - below I will list the prev days intake (food/exercise) and the following mornings weight. My goal (starting monday) is to eat 1585 (my sedentary target on fat2fit) and then some igf needed, but not all of my exercise cals. Sunday - 1501/222 - 130 Monday - 1777/320 - 130 Tuesday - 1696/205 - 129…

wow apetersen - we are stats twins, same age too. I am nervous too....but I have to keep telling myself that even if I do have a jump I have to hold my nerve and give it at least 4 weeks. These guys make so much sense I would much rather live like this than hungry on 1200.

All going well so far..Am trying to use my extra calories in a healthy way! TOTM so I hope results won't be skewed - I will post a daily weigh-in update on Monday....watch this space....

Your current weight is bmi 22.7 - right in the middle of the healthy range your goal is bmi 17 - unhealthy & underweight, the very lowest you should aim is 46kg. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm

LOVE it, I have shared it with friends already! Sallyh - I wish my genes had been so kind! Maybe I should take your tack & go with sedentary - and eat back some to all of my exercise cals hmmmm, okay that's what I'm going to do! Off to change things around again :D I think I will be actually OVER today! - on my first new…

That's great. Similarly I have been doing Chalean Extreme for 2.5 months now, and my stas have changed very very little but I took photos and I do look different. As the boys point out you don't carry a scales around with you to show people what you weigh - they see how you fit your clothes & hold yourself. <whispers> says…

Thanks for request. I look fwd to supporting each other! You look awesome, love the muscle. I got the 1750 from "As you get closer to your goal weight, your weight loss will start to slow down. It is OK to eat a few hundred calories less per day (200-300) to speed up your weight loss at this point" So I subtracted 300 from…

Are you sure? because 230 would indicate near death! Have a look here http://www.brianmac.co.uk/maxhr.htm maybe your hrm is a bit wonky & needs replacing..

You can also get wholegrain basmati, which is lovely. I know when I have got it from the takeaway you could see the oil in the tray after dishing up - not a good sign! This veggie recipe looks good http://www.healthy-weight-loss-made-easy.com/biryani-recipe.html

No it's not deep fried. Though the base mix of spiced chicken might contain a lot of oil in the form of ghee. Obviously not good if you want to keep low carb either as there's so much rice. Would be good to try it at home with less oil & brown rice maybe. I love it, esp lamb byriani.

move along, nothing to see here....cos I can't make it work!

Not me, I think kefir is cool! My husband takes chocolate milk after his runs, I avoid it!

I bought Kinetika whey in vanilla. I have it blended with skim mill and like yourself frozen banana, or frozenr aspberries or blueberries I also recently bough spirulina poweder and add a tsp of that - turns it a horrible colour - but luckily doesn't change the flavour.

Hi there fellow 5'3-er! I'm weighing today at 130 lb, was 161 when I started. I would like to get down to 125, but I have a vision in mind and if I reach the look I want before that number that would be great. My goal would be so tight, toned & jiggle-free enough that I could run a race in bra top & shorts and look good!
