wow the negativity lol.. some of you need to be a lot more gentle I have used them .. and I use them from time to time BUT I'm very carful about which ones I have used do some work ? Yes (tracked expected weight loss and actual weight lose with and with out supplement) should it be your main focus? No (I still lose weight…

I have self control issues as well.. sometimes when I have a craving I just stare at the pastries in the supermarket and walk away .. its like they are talking to me lol try tapering down and your body may get used to not eating so much.. I remember when I started my current diet even 2500 was tough for me but I have…

by the way 70 grams of shredded weat with milk / strawberries , blue berries and raspberries is about 450 calories so you definatly doing something wrong
-
have a late breakfast instead .. less time to eat through out the day and by the time its late you may not be hungry so if you choose to miss the odd dinner than you do but if you are hungry just have it.. that's the tactic I use. for example my target today was 2100 (Gym day) but I started eating at about 10 am had…

lol ..na I was about 90 kg there .. I leave it up for inspiration .. went up to 120 kg after I tore my tendon and was off work for 5 months and on crutches for about 9.. back down to 110 kg though :D and want to settle on 95 kg ..would love to get back to my weight of 85 kg during my mid 20s but would be probably too much…
-
by the way I'm OCD about my waist measurement so I usually take 7 or 9 measurements and take off the highest and the lowest measurement and use and average since I can get up to 0.8 cm difference depending on how accurately I place the tape. :) of course you can do less measurements lol
-
don't you just love the noobs :) anyway I stick to once a week and measure my waist ill give you good example 2 weeks ago I lost 0.8 kg and 0.7 cm of my waist last week I lost 0.2 kg and o.83 off my waist .. so technically I feel I did better :)
-
once saw a husband and wife in the gym with their child who was a few months old sleeping in a cot next to them.... the kid didn't wake up once lol That's what you call dedication
-
Since you are a student we may be in a similar boat I'm doing my masters at the moment and because I sometimes start lectures at 10.30 to 1pm or have days off I try to have my first meal between 10 and 11 pm..then go to the gym.. next meal right after the gym at 12.30 to 1.. sometimes even 2pm.. then an apple then between…
-
personally I don't count the first two weeks of a keto diet :) .. loads of water loss usually BUT if defiantly works not the easiest diet and I gave up the second time I tried it but once you get passed the first 2 weeks your body gets used to it
-
I tend to have cheat days and save the junk food till then so I'm usually on 1700 on rest days and 2200 on work out days and on my cheat day I can go up to 3500, I've done 4000 a few times but I try and keep it below 3000..its usually on a Sunday so on Monday I have loads of energy for the gym and actually end up burning…
-
have you measured your waist or other body parts ive lost about 3 kg in 4 weeks from 113.6 kg to 110.6 kg and 3 cm off my waist in 3 weeks (172 cm tall).. inbetween that time there was one weight in that was 115.2 just after a big cheat day . this week I lost only 0.2 kg but lost 0.83 cm off my waist but the previous week…
-
If that's you in the picture or at least a current picture .. trust me you don't need to lose 40 pounds.. of course people are comfortable at different weights or sizes but I would say you look fine (tried so hard just now not to sound like I was a perv lol)
-
try measuring your waist as well lost only 0.2 kg this week by .83 cm off my waist so technically I made very good progress
-
have you measured your waist.. I lost only 0.2 kg this week and was disappointed but lost 0.83 cm off my waist as most people say make sure you aint under estimating what you eat.. I sure a measuring scale .. cook 2 weeks worth of lamb, beef, chicken and salmon and even pre prepare my yam by measuring our the portions and…
-
I tend to do weights and cardio on different days when I do either I take myself to the limit so there is usually no energy left after I do one to do the other If anything I may probably start with weights first and then do cardio..
-
I know some people get by with out wholegrain :) but if I was going to pick between one or the other I wouldn't pick processed carbs You can defiantly lose weight if you are in a deficit no matter what kind of food you put in your mouth but at the end of the day you can be a lot more efficient with your weight lose if you…
-
I was giving an extreme example I was going to say processed cabs vs wholegrain but some people don't realise the importance of wholegrain
-
a calorie is a calorie but there is a difference between eating 200 calories of sugar vs 200 calories of brown bread. Your body will process it differently
-
Thanks for the info but alas its too late .. just spent £260 on a polar watch that does activity and has a HRM :) where were you when I needed you lol However my watch works quite well

-
I do a lot of weight training and circuits and the fitbit I used didn't have a HRM so the results were very inaccurate because of the way fitbits registers motion .. so doing high intensity squats and dead lefts or even cycling on the road it just wont register well or register at all on a fitbit so when I had one I used…
-
try intervals with your cardio 40 second rest and 20 second intense.. at the end of the 20 seconds you have to be almost out of breath and for the 40 seconds just bring the intensity right down .. may help with burning more calories in the 40 mins and bring you into deficit .. also measure your waist.. if you are losing on…
-
I have always hated water and drank soda Diet soda works well for me if I want to feel full
-
HMMMM So what you are saying is that if the fitbit registers 3000 calories you only eat 15000 anyway I stopped using fitbit and got a heart rate monitor which also logs activity as the fitbit isn't very good at logging exercise for example if your fitbit doesn't have hrm it wont log anything on stationary bike .. If I sit…
-
I lack self control so I have to count ..lol If I don't count and tell my self to stay with in my target I just end up eating anything
-
yep I think it means intentional
-
and importantly measure your waist
-
Ill give you an example .. I was 113.6 kg and worked out for 2 weeks and was 115.4 kg on my weight in but I had eaten like a pig the night before, 5 days later I was 111.6 kg .. my waist went down from 118 cm to 116 then to 115 in the same time.. so I was technically still losing fat
-
when you eat what you want .. I sometimes have a cheat day but I have decided to only have a big cheat meal one a week now.. maybe a large pizza or take away
