Thank you i really appreciate the help. So much info and disinfo when you google its nice to have somewhere to try get on the right path.

I did over those 2 weeks period but this week my weight has stayed the same.

Not sure if I mentioned I sometimes eat breakfast on workout days, not sur eif this makes any difference to the advice you will give

HI, I have been following Leangains style fasting for about 8 Months. It has really helped me lose weight and I like the other health benefits too.My normal routine is 16 hours but on weekends i sometimes push it a little further in the hope to burn more fat. I was also hoping by doing this will help me get bulk without…

Hi guys, So i filled my diary in for today with what I am planning to eat. I have am doing a 19 hour fast so might not get all that in but I make sure i will make sure i get the protein in if nothing else. I lost 1 pound this week so I i am sitting at 168 pounds now. Thought I would add a few more things as I have reached…

Hi Guys reporting in =D So it seems that I have lost 1 pound this week although it seem to come back on today but that maybe because of falling of the wagon with a Dominos Pizza yesterday (my wife turned up with it and I could not resist lol). I weigh myself on Friday since doing this with you guys and on Fri I was 169…

Will do, appreciate the help. I will keep tracking proberly.

While I was off I was not lifting ( I try to take a week off from weight every 6-8 weeks as someone at my gym advised me to do this although i do question it sometimes as I hate that week, I am thinking of ignoring it now tbh). I was taking creatine before my holiday and was going to start it again when i started the new…

Sorry i meant to add that i am at 170 pounds again now.

I have lost 4 pounds which was the weight i put on from the holiday i came back from 2 weeks ago. But i guess its normal to lose the any weight you gain sporatically?

Hi guys, So bumping the thread as the two weeks solid logging is done as requested, for a bit of info my weight has gone back down to 170 pounds as well.

Ok will do, I am normally really good but as we were on away alot was really hard to track things. I will be eating more or less same as I was before the gaps appear in my diary but I will bump the thread in two weeks like you say.

I was dieting for about 8 months at 1640 cals but it was starting to wear me down a little so decided to start working toward maint cals. I was increasing at roughly 50 cals a week sometimes i would wait 2 week to increase. I am now eating at 1800 cals so I am still in a deficit but is driving me less crazy. My weight more…

You look amazing well done!

You have done amazing. I take my hat off to you. You look great.

All feel free to add me, i will try support when i can =D in exchange for the same =D

@7opoundsin16w 18?

Cheers just wanted a rough guide and will def help. I am going to finish this week and next with my old plan. As I like to change every 6 weeks. Taking a week off then as going away so I plan to get started with this when I get back. Thanks again for all those that gave advice

Tried the bulgarian squats today and they are awesome. I find them very hard but my back did not give me any trouble so I am hoping these will work for me. One last question how many sets would be good per work or time in the gym not including cardio?

You are most definitely right I think hehe, just didn't want to miss out arms as its the one thing I despise on my body lol. The pulls I threw back in because I love doing them. Thanks for the link I will check it, would love to try get where I can do squats so maybe that is the answer

That change has occurred over 4. Weeks. I check the sample plan and that really helps. A feel daft asking but what is an accessory movement? Is that another term for isolation excercises? Also, would the following be ok: Wide grip Pull ups 2 sets Lat pull down 2 sets Row machine or bent over rows with SB 2 set Inline chest…

Can't thank you guys enough for the help you are giving. I can't access the link on my iPad at the no but will check when I get home. Sorry if the following are dumb questions. What number of sets per work out would I need to do? Main reason I started my current plan was because I was going to the gym at start and doing 3…

My weight seems stable at the moment i upped to 1800 today and have been doing this by 50 cals a week trying not to shock my system. (Do get worried its all going to pile on but also on the other side someone put the fear of god into me about metabolism dmg so scared of that too lol) I have been lifting for about 8-9…

Bit embarrassed to post the pic but I am willing to get good advice lol. My Program is three days at the moments consisting of the following Chest Day with some Ab Work I use the Incline Chest Press, Normal Chest Press, Chest Flys followed by press ups. Then Do an assortment of Planks and Frog Situps Back and Arms Wide…

Sweet

IF is not the magic cure but it sure helps me a lot and it def does not slow your metabolism down. You don't even go into a catabolic state till 72hours ish and should not fast that long anyways. Check out leangains.com. Here is a link to an article debunked top ten myths about if including the metabolism slowdown :…

Wow that's amazing , you,look so much younger.

This question is quite open to interpretation as what works for one does not always for for the other. Some people cut on the classic 40% Carbs 40% Protein and 20% fat. I myself prefer to keep go low carb and a paleo ish type diet during the week with 25% Carbs 35% fat (healthy fats ;D mostly) and 40% Protein. On a weekend…

I 24 hour fast may not be the way to go as she is prob burning lots of calories teaching all those classes so trying to get the calories for maintenance might be harder this. If you decide to fast try leangains as its just bodyfat you are worrying about.

We all have to do what makes us happy but from your profile pic you look in great shape. I am trying to teach myself to pay less attention to the scales and more to my measurements and bodyfat readings. Don't over analyse it thought you look fantastic as far as I can tell. Sounds like a very hectic routine you have too,…
