hay, i had to put on a lot of weight recently. i found full calorie protein shakes helped, i did a fair amount of resistance but continued with my cardio. i also found that things like olive oil to salads and cooking helped a little.. nuts and shakes are a really good idea too. i ate a bit of dark chocolate too :) erm i…

WOW, thats obviously a lot to take in. but not eating isnt going to help you really. you need to think sensibly. if you want a baby your body needs to be ultimately healthy. this means yes probably loosing weight, and taking in exercise. its not a hard thing to do im sure of it - in fact i know its not im a trainer and…

as dumb as this sounds you'll figure out if its right for you. give it say a month or so and if your loosing according to the formula then it works for you, if its not doing what you want it to do, try something differnt. bodies react differntly so its just a guideline :)

low impact. im a trainer, i get this question a lot. arm circles, punches. light hand weights or tins of food, hold above your head. if you caan walk, up and down the stair that will work wounders. if not stand in place and march slowly. maybe even try getting hold of a cheap portable arm bike. sit in bed and peddle the…

this is a really serious topic, im glad someone is writing something sensible about it. i have been in the shoes of not eating anything for a very long time, and while i have seen some thinking this site is not good for recovery it seems to have helped me. im at my highest weight ever and thats stilly very tiny, but i have…

i dont really understand american sizes. but yeah im skinny and i really do struggle to find clothes in the uk. holister size 0 are quite loose on me. so i tend to shop in the kids section. but even 10lbs heavier or 10lbs lighter i still take the same size clothing, its odd. but yeah im just very little in my frame.

yeah, your dietician knows what theyre doing. go with whatever they tell you! its their job, they've sat threw hours and hours of uni to get there. if they wernt decent your drs surgery probably wouldnt employ them. :)
-
ahah im the same i love spin,l im a spin instructor too. but i also run. i get a fairly similar calorie burn, however i sweat a heck of a lot more teaching my classes!
-
you'll burn more if you exercise because your body has to work harder to keep going. but when it comes down to it, most of the 'weight'' you'll loose will be water, and chances are if its hot you'll drink more to replace it. a litre of water = 1kg in weight.
-
yep the ones you hold are useless. they dont take into account water content. they just send an electric current round your body, fats got a high water content so conducts. the end product is how much current comes back. i tell my clients to use it purely as a guide, there are slightly more reliable ones, but its probably…

at 5'1 thats fine!
-
yeah you'll weigh more. but its not about the actual number, this is what i tell my clients - im a PT. as long as you are wering pretty much the same sort of thing you'll keeping variable similar. so you'll see a progress and loss. if youre intrested purely in the number, buy a pair of scales for at home and go nakey for…

just ignore the comments about this being a fat persons site. its called my FITNESS pal. i came here needing to gain weight a while back :) and i know a lot of people too that have :) its a nice place once you get to know the right people and theres wayyyy more really nice people on here than the ones who think this is…
-
im a PT, come train with me! :)
-
dont weigh in at night time!!!!!! think of all the drink and food you had. you would have been moving allday causing muscles to retain water etc etc. take a morning weight next time. and keep on with the healthy lifstyle :)
-
l love this lol!
-
circuits, depending on how hard you are willing to work. im a PT and base a lot of my training around circuits because you can do sooo much within them, a good circuit will include lifting, but i would say you need to be doing weight training on top to really boost fat loss :) so both really but i like circuits best! :)

carbs arent bad. vegtables are carbs. fruit are carbs. its the refined carbs that are bad - chocolate, biscuits, crisps, white breads. people cant do a no carb diet anyway. because all theyd be eating is meat pretty much!!
-
if thats where you store it then youre thighs are always going to be your problem area!! you cant shift where you have more fat cells than other. when we lose or gain weight we always stay the shape 'shape' sucks in ways, but you can tone etc to make them look reallllll nice :)
-
you can use them at rest, but theres zero point. based on averages if youre not doing anything you'll burn about 1.1calories per minute. comparing my hrm answer to this its pretty much on the dot, (its less than this because i am smaller than average sized). just use your hrm when youre doing exercise because youre wasting…

first thing, hard floor on the same scale. naked. hair up after toilet time. every day. i dont use digital scales, and i find the balllancing scales at my work ( i work in a gym) are pooo because firstly i have all my gear on ( jumper, trackies 3 tops hr monitor, keys, phone etc) and secondly i weighed a 5kgs weight on…
-
this is an age old debate. these boards are full of misinformed answers, or people sort of get it but they dont and try and give informed answers. the best advice is you should try and talk to a diatician to decide whats the ideal way forward for you. im fully qualified in nutrition and i advise people on it as part as my…
