I admit, to begin with i was like many others and wanting to look good. Now, i just want to get back on the track again and tear it up... I look at it now like this now.... if i am good to my body, and good to my mind, my body will me good to me. The shape i want to be in will come eventually. But thats a bonus to getting…

This is so interesting. what is defined as weight.... what you see on the scale or body fat %.... my weight has increased since HIIT training and weight training but, my body fat % is starting to strip a hell of a lot quicker than it was when i was doing long low intensity cardio!! I am all for high intensity.... i think…

I think this is every womans problem and the unfortunate thing is it is the last place to ever lose the fat as we naturally store it there. from personal experience i found that as soon as i introduced squats, lunges, leg extensions, sumo squats, etc etc etc Basically a lot of muscle work the fat started to fall off and…

A lot harder seems to be an understatment. And its taking so much more determination to keep it up. But thankyou ever so much, Really appreciate your help!! x

thanks so much guys! compund workout on my upper body has been my main focus, but as you can probably guess, just doing that is driving me loopy! i didnt know whether something like yoga would b an idea when i start to stretch the muscle out again. surely that would be ok?

i feel like this every day, i get quite obsessive and feel i should do something. anything!! on my 'rest days' i end up swimming or playing tennis, so not really a rest at all. but i suppose working out every day doesnt matter as long as it isnt at 100% effort every time?

im 19, feel free to add me, would like to talk to some like minding people who are serious about dropping the weight and becoming super fit :D xx

wow, i love this design, so similar to my one i had up my back,,, beautiful!!

ok thankyou so much for the advice. hopefully it wil go well and i will see results soon enough!

joe manganiello especially when he was in true blood!!

so atm, my protein intake is very high has been for a while and im doing cardio and weight training and floor exercises, with the session progressively getting harder.. i should just carry on with this and look for results over a period of time?

its a weird reward but... i will start running again! haa sounds like a chore but i love sprinting and i really miss it, so once the weight drops, back on the track for me :D

thankyou so much for suggesting this, just read it and it has made perfect sense. i now understand the weight increase has happened and hopefully soon once my body refuels it will start dropping again. thankyou

its only gone up 3lbs in the 5 days... which is fine, but i was just slightly worried as i dont want it to continue.

wow this is amazing. well done, you look fabulous!

i use the gym calories, especially if you enter your weight/age/height on the machines, surely that is more accurate?

i have the same problem, so annoying when you work so hard and do not see it drop.

thankyou guys, i will go and buy some today. i appreciate the advice. x

Thankyou so much for all the advice :) x

so how does that explain my weight dropping up until a week ago when i uped my food intake? and when will it start dropping again?

oh ok, i have changed the settings now. finally figured it out. i am useless with technology

ii better make it a little more accurate, i eat on average 1500-1900 calories a day, i burn around 1000 a day doing cardio exercises, on speed intervals.. i then do weights on my legs which i use resistance leg press 70kg 12 reps 3 sets, i do squats with 20kg weight 15 reps 3 sets, lunges with 7kg weight. i do ab work with…

how do i make my diary completely visible??... its basically low carb low fat, moderate protein high calorie, and i do high intensity fat burning and i weight train... alot heavier in the past two weeks then i have ever done before

this is crazy the 11 to 12 percent woman one is photoshoped??... most sprinters are between 10-13 and they dont look that muscular.. wow

to keep it simple stick to the calories you have been told to eat by mfp - it has worked on many, just remember to eat back exercise calories on the days you exercise. the only thing i can suggest is high calories, low carb and fats and moderate protein. if you are at a gym and you decide to do certain type of training,…

i have been told this infortmation from a nutritionist working alongside a personal trainer... but you have to remember its not the amount you eat... it is what you eat that is important. any calculations given are based on estimate, and how quickly you want to lose wight, but also with lifestyle etc etc. see a…

if you do want to weight train every day you can.... just alternate what you are doing. legs, back, bum one day and the next arms shoulders arms.. i do this and am absolutely fine, just make sure you change your diet slightly to help your muscles repair quicker. atm i am on a low carb , low fat but high protein and calorie…

Starvation mode shouldnt really be used as a technical term... i was told by my trainer that yes you are losing weight and maybe the inches are coming off.... but what weight are you losing... what is says on the scales or body fat without impairing your muscles? when in starvation mode and exercising you can for a while,…

to get an accurate rmr it is your weight in lbs times 10 which is the calories you should be eating... so with you being 188 its 1880 to maintain ( with no exercise just sitting down all day) you minus 500 off that to lose weight so your talking 1380... so mfp is correct.. but remember that is if you do nothing all day but…
