I finally found self belonging this year after nearly having a breakdown because somebody found me attractive.... tried to convince myself that i was a monster and i would hurt this person, basically jibbed right out. until i realised the only reason this person liked me was because all the experiences i have had; be they…

Great going, give yourself a pat on the back.... YOU have made this happen and you will finish the job!!

I will never forget my brothers son saying "you should go on a diet, brush your teeth and join match.com" - this could have only come from my brother/sister in law as he was only 5 years old... HERE`S LOOKING AT YOU....... fancy running a marathon, lifting heavy or even walking the dog brother!! NAH thought not...
-
fortunately this is fact. if you wan`t to build lean mass and tone go for the workouts, if you want to be a jibbering skinnyfat person simply diet & walk.

Nice advice here, so its more free weights & compound lifts... i`m currently pulling up full body weight for reps no probs so back is getting there Cheers all

Fresh Meat ... i likes ha...

I have no immediate intention to have visible abs, i simply want to improve core edurance... had a fitness test today and killed it all apart from sit ups... Do i just need to have two major core workout days a week??

it`ll perform a calculation based on your total weight and the theoretical hydration you should have inside your body, after this i got totally bored in learning about it i kinda gave up...
-
so you did.... but i have CAPS LOCK TOO :) xx
-
i have one and have played about with it.... i get an 8% variation between tests if i tense every muscle in my body!! also dehydration alters the figure as the test relies on the water to carry the electric around your body -- less water, less conductivity = greater BF%
-
don't bother - you know deep down if you've been lazy.. save the money for the Nikes you'll wear out walking so much! FYI its all electronic and updates MFP automatically.... but a grand waste of money

Yep, ive even started doing cable pulls on a bosu ball and dumbell curls on wobble cushions :)
-
so the deal is you need to be fit and on a certain weight? or do you just need to be fit?? do as the guy says, HIIT training spiking into your 90% and youll increase your VO2 max like no tomorrow, you may even loose some weight.. if you want to loose weight and get fit slowly do as the person says about staying within your…

2013 the year i quit my sugar addiction..... 2014 the year i lived without sugar ?????

All rounder, face, *kitten*, legs and chest :)

polar is the best, ive tried all types and the calculation is just that a calculation instead of focusing on cals focus on your aveHR for a guide of how hard you are pushing over a period, this method of thought takes away the fixation people have on food/calories. i found it gave me motivation to get one or two BPM higher…
-
i`ve not read the topic but any HRM is accurate at picking up your instant heart rate and calculating the average... some display the max HR and zones... using them for calorie burn data is not a good idea in my book... i use mine for zone training, Max HR and Ave HR... its nice to see 1200 cals in 1.5 hours, but to me…

you are looking at this wrong.... you should be asking do you gain fat when you first start working out! the answer is no :) if you were to gain weight without working out at all this would be fat... do not be alarmed. Everyone is fixated on weight, this is just a number. i am like 210lbs a 32" waist, my nephew is 200lbs…

Are you constantly telling yourself that you cant have certain things?? do you have a lot of stress around you or are you stressing about what you eat?? Stress can bring on a maternal instinct to suckle or in our case consume food, yes comfort eating is a true phenomena.. also it brings on a hormone that puts you in…

flys will build the pecs/chest muscle... you need to be able to fully stretch during the fly so doing them on the ground is not the best place, get a bench or stability ball.as As with all resistance exercises its not about the weight its all about the stretch and the final squeeze. i used to have saggy man boobs, now i…

there, their, they`re out of context and Obviously..... nothing is ever obvious
-
The best part is no realising you`ve changed only for somebody else to tell you :) the other best part is not snoring, being able to curl your abs in the morning to sit up, jump out of bed and smash another day out!
-
it was bad enough driving yesterday let alone out on the bike, i feel you pain.... when xmas approaches people who never usually drive end up out on the roads visiting familes or shopping and the quality of driving seems to get worse, the two weeks before christmas seem to turn into destruction derby... not to mention the…

You need to be selfish, support yourself, dont do it for anyone but yourself in that way the only person you`ll let down is yourself and you dont want that now do you? USE this forum for the occasional high five!! (significant word being USE.... )
-
THIS........... love it, dont be pissed with yourself... just smash a personal best everyday
-
i`ve always had a chip on my shoulder about not being able to be confident, i blamed this on weight... one day i saw a picture of myself looking like id been partying in Mcdonalds with a free supersize ticket for 10 years - which essentially i had! This made me even more self concious but it wasnt until i was out of breath…
-
if you have to ask the answer is almost certainly NO!
-
that WAS me!! everyone has their insecurities, some dwell on them, some blok them out and some pretend to be so confident that thet are infat lying to themselves, once you free the soul everything falls into place!

@REVjames Can`t mate as i currently live in Brill Rhyl, my roots are that way. Went to Rhoscolyn and holyhead school!! Your suggestion is an amazing hill, i remember coming off my bike going down there as a kid; panic at the speed mixed with the glorious father "oiling" the bikes brakes so we couldnt skid and waste tyres…

oooossshhh!! love it.. 4 lbs is a great chunk and has only been possible because of you, yes you did it... no ones stories.. yeah the results topics are inspiring but everything in your life is done by the most important person in your life for the most important person in your life... you and your child ;) you dont need…
