i was reading this think hey thats interesting before realising my family is the same. not soi much my parents but my 4 siblings. I have 4 brothers and the only one who is small is my closest brother who suffers from ADHD or i think its called ADD in america. the attention deficit one. He cant gain a pound even if he tried…

Hey thanks sparkle pants (great name). I started trying to lose weight like four years ago and got down 3 stone to 12st, but then i forgot about it and went up to 13st again. then last april i found this website and got down to 11st 6 and found that my goals weren't thinness they were sort of toned muscle orientated so i…

I had 3 weeks abstinance from doing anything good. I drank beer I ate chips and curry sauce every day and it was fantastic. Well i wasn't that bad but back in the swing again and another year older. Just got back into logging my food. I am shocked and appaled, Its way to easy to think you know what you are eating rather…

thank god for that. I'm eating my body weight in grams of protein a day lol. no way of building muscle without it.

hey. I read stuff about fibre once too. All i know is that if you eat a lot you have to drink a lot of water to flush it through your system otherwise things get "stuck" if you know what i mean. I have never implimented a high fibre diet but when i have had days with lots and days with out i notice. Wholewheats bread pasta…

Hey. A man forum I bet this moves slower than the rest of 'em. Ben here, Half way through my first round of P90X. Enjoying it lots and learning lots about different muscle groups and eating right. Both of which are confusing. Currently trying to keep to my high protien low carb cutting fat sort of stage. started going out…

Hi Diane. I used to work in Droitwich at the railway station when i lived in Halesowen. Nice little place. I prefer the living in Birmingham now though. Good luck with the plan. I'm also set for my goal in april for the easter holidays. I'm not sure what I want to weight but at the moment I feel great so its all about tone…

Just joining February to say My holiday is on Saturday. Off to hot and sunny Brighton for me 23rd B-day. Still doing P90X but haven't had any weight change for ages but look a bit different. Halfway through my 90 days really so will be finished for early april. Its been hard work so far but totally paying off i think. Good…

Me too. Sometimes I go purple lol. But im out of it as soon as I stop and my heart rate is down. I used to be the same when i was in school but That was because I was a naughty smoker, Quitting obviously helpe but the more I work out the less i go red. I think its to do with elavated heart levels too. when Im in "the zone"…

Going to join this thread too. I'm on my first round on day 16 plyo tonight after work. The first week was v hard but I can feel it getting better already, looking forward to more progress the rest of this week and also the change next week will be refreshing. I know phase two is sort of the next level again. Willbe good.…

Its so good to hear people talking about Tescos and normal foods instead of Walmart and stuff. I never understand what some of the Americans are eating lol. There is definitely an influx of newbs here, its all good. Everyone has high plans for the new year which is ace. My first week of P90X is going well. 4 days down 86…

Hey James. We match for once lol. Start weight 168lbs My goal weight is still 160lbs but im hoping to see more fat loss this month with p90x in the morning. Body Fat is 21% according to my scales but as long as he figures move in the right direction. Good luck everyone else. time for sleep now Ben

we start again on the 4/01/2010 i think. im not sure if there has been a post yet but will be tommorrow if not i will start it.

At least 180grams a day to maintain, and heavy weights with low reps 6-8 failure will promote size 10-12 reps is more for tone (I think). Protein should be spread across the day and eaten with every meal. I find it extremely difficult to do. I take it you meant building bigger muscles? Also you can't get bigger without a…

Higher protein and lower carb not in a fad way but play with your ratios. I'm noting this because I'm about to start fat shedding phase of p90x and my ratios are 50pro 30carb 20fat not that I can comment from experience but other members could clarify. I've seen a lot of studies that verify higher protein and resistance…

Round two already you must be mad. cheers about the Pic im such a poser lol. looking forward to starting now. and yeah the diet is going to be hard especially with shift work but if you don't try you don't get Thanks or the help so far people!

Thanks I will check out the website. I'm pysching myself up already :)

Do it people!!! Lol I gained like two pounds tops. I quit august 1st this year. I over ate a tiny bit but by mid September I was lower than august 1st. It is so worth it I promise. I feel great and don't muss the smell at all. It is hard at first but you soon get there x :)

exactly how I picture it lol. I find it the same. It's getting cold now so I'm binging a bit then going healthy again I have maintained a similar weight +/- 1 or 2 pounds for a month now without using the record diary. It's great because if you shoot up 2 pound you canter them straight back off. I'm waiting till after…

I am the same as MadWorld I yo yo from 4-7 pounds from my goal weight. I once hit 161pounds which was one from my target. I feel great most days and I exercise 1-3 times a week. I'm learning to maintain my weight now which is harder than losing it. It feels like you're eating way too much but it's also great too!!! Good…

Bump explanation. If you notice when you write in the forums the topic becomes availble to view under "my topics" bump is just a way of adding it to your topics so it's easier to find later on because sometimes it dissappears iff the mainscreen.

Hey everyone. Hope it's all going well this month. Not sure how but was 11st 9.4 today which is amazing for me. Only happened once but still it's positive. My goal for this month is only one more pound. I hadn't been running for a week due to painkillers and antibiotics making me feel rough but got back on it today. Going…

I'm in. Like the idea of a rep challenge. I'm about to turn from eating less to eating more for bulking up a bit. Got more fat to lose first though.

Shame about the flu James hope you're felling better now. Just to say apart from Brighton which I suppose was pretty cool. I haven't had a social life either. Can't get to close to beer otherwise I get fat again. My friend calls alcohol liquid cream cakes lol. Anyways I finally am going out for a drink this weekend so…

I just make the usual meal and toss it in tuppaware. Just be careful as some plastics don't freeze well. My last lunch box shattered when I took it out lol. I make lots of things like spaghetti bolognaise and lasagne it's great cause I only have a microave at work. I'm into making my own Quinoa curries at the moment. But…

Quick before work CW 165.6 GW 161-162 by end of November GW 154 in the end Get in !!!

Looking good James. I weighed in at 11st 12 yesterday and today so I can say I made my goals I think. 11st 10 for next month I think. New goals start tommorrow. Christmas will be hard though. Everyone buys me jack daniels although last year I was too I'll to drink. Happy Halloween for those who enjoy it. Have a good night…

Well done sean. Good on ya. It has been a while glad the weight's going well for ya. I'm also on for 11.6 for chrimbo. I'll get there one day lol.

If I'm allowed to say Allen Carr "Easyway" to quit is a great read. Helped me alot with attitudes towards addictions x

I gained a little at the start. Took me about one month to battle with staying even before I started losing again. It's a fantastic feeling being free from them so I give you all my encouragement. This was my fifth quit attempt and the longest I have been off them. It's been a hard year but I'm nearing the end feeling…
