You need to do free weights. Get a personal trainer. Once you start, it's easy to build muscle (once you don't have to lose weight). I could almost guarantee that your technique is probably wrong in the pump classes-most people's is. Get a PT to show you a range of exercises, get them to write up a plan and start weight…

CARDIO cardio cardio cardio hills. stairs. interval training. running on the beach. I get gaunt arms, chest and face but my *kitten* and thighs don't get the weightloss memo. I look like a drug addict up top and a fattie below which is ANNOYING. Just up your cardio. People lose weight in different areas. My mate has big…

Get yourself a personal trainer who knows about nutrition. Get them to set you your new life meal plan. Stick to it. You need to get yourself a heart rate monitor which measures calories burnt so you can accurately track input/output. You need to weigh and measure everything you eat so you're not underestimating quantities.

janarn329, read as much as you can and actually use all the information and advice you can get off this community forum. Don't ignore what posters have to say. If they say eat breakfast, do it because we've all had results so we know what we say works. My advice is in this post:…

Fair enough torygirl79, just make sure they measure you and weigh you next time. And take your camera so they can take side and front on photos. You'll never know the results you're getting unless you get these 'officially' taken and make sure they take them all again in a month's time. I remember when I used to see my PT,…

Visit every continent See Henry Rollins speaking live on tour Study something Learn to bloody snowboard. WHY AM I SUCH A SUCKO AT IT?!?!?!?!? Maintain 56kgs for EVER Get married and have behbes. Hundreds of em. Even thousands. I WANT TO BE ON A JURY TOO! Learn to blowdry my hair. Do that indoor skydiving thing they have in…

Maybe you need a work out/lifestyle change buddy. Someone who asks you why you are eating cake, why you had two servings instead of one (you'll need to show them your food diary), why you didn't come running when they were waiting for you at 6am? Someone to make you accountable. I tried hard to get my mum and sister along…

cardio cardio cardio cardio cardio HARD HARD HARD cardio. Til you are dying cardio. In particular, interval training. Jog for 30 seconds, sprint for 30 seconds, jog for 30 seconds, sprint for 30 seconds. Do this for 10 minutes. Rest. Do it again. (not exact figures but you get the point). Lunges, squats, dead lifts, stair…

I don't agree with the whole 'muscle weighs more than fat'. Maybe if you're a body builder but to me, it's a load of rubbish told by people to make people who aren't losing weight feel good about themselves. Sure it might weigh more but it's not like an everyday human being has a whole lot of muscle they're building,…

A pound is too slow for me. We're told here in Australia that you can lose a kilogram a week. That's what I want. and I want it now. I want you. Cos I'm Mr... I've lost weight slowly and correctly before and I put it back on when I moved back home. I'd rather lose it quickly and put it back on than slow and put it back on.

I don't think you're having enough vegetables and wholegrains and fibre. Prunes, pears and blackberries are high in fibre. Pinto beans are (you could have a mexican themed meal with beans and burritos, lean mince, tonnes of salad etc), Peas are high etc. I stole this from Men's Health: AT BREAKFAST 1. Fill your juice glass…

I may check in with kilograms and grams but I only think I've lost weight when I repetitively weigh the lower kilogram amount (thus ignoring the grams). So I weighed myself last week and was 63.1. I weighed myself today and I was 62.something. I still consider myself 63 until for a week or two I weigh 62.something.…

Why are they diet though? :huh: Because they're watery and you wouldn't want to eat em?

Welcome! I'm a newbie too and use MFP as motivation to keep at healthy living and to lose 8kgs. Nothing like having your diet shoved in your face in black and white to make you reach for a glass of water rather than that beer! Well missy, I had a look at your diary and whilst I'm no expert, these are my thoughts if you…

Your body is amazing, and no I"m not just saying that. You have an amazing shape, really womanly. All you need to do now is do some weights for tone and definition but honestly, if I saw you on the beach, I'd say you had an awesome body. If I were you though, I'd lose the tie bikini bottoms and get something really BAM!…

They should take all your measurements, weight and take photos of you. My personal trainer made me a little diary where I could write my food and exercise in plus she made me out a diet, gave me some recipes and wrote me out a workout schedule.

Oats are fantastic in nutrition but no, eating just oats is not healthy. Much like eating just salt. Or eating just Oreos. Or eating just lettuce. Moderation and variety is the key.

How is adding a can of diet soda making them healthy? :ohwell: I watch that stupid DC Cupcakes show on TV and then craaaave them like nothing else.

Yup! I like browsing people's diaries

eee all I can think of is what would you prefer? To learn to love vegies or to have to carry around a colostomy bag when you're 50.

You're comparing yourself to people who are eating amazingly well and wondering why you're getting nowhere when you're eating bad food. You laugh about hating vegetables and fruit? Well, what other healthy food is there?!? How can we help if you laugh about eating healthily?? We are not going to say your diet is OK and to…

Up it. 4-5 times, include both weights and cardio.

Can you do cheeky things like take the stairs instead of the lift, walk an extra stop or two, walk an extra block to a different lunch cafe, go for a jog in your lunch break?

Yeh, add me if you want. I'm just starting out my weightloss (again) and often require a kick up my butt to get motivated

I'm sorry, is this a joke? You eat fries, whiskey, potatoes, ice cream, 4 slices of french toast one day, Rice, ice cream, whiskey another day, Cheese, doritos, ice cream, whiskey another day and you expect to lose weight?!? You don't eat breakfast. You haven't put that you've drank any water. You don't eat fruits or…

Eggs or protein for breakfast, not cereal. Most cereals are all sugar.

What I find scary are the misalignment of the bones in the fat person, look at the ankles. Go try pick up 100pounds. Bet you can't yet that person's ankles are supposed to carry it. :(

Set yourself short term goals and once you achieve them, move the goalpost. Whether this be lose 5pounds, do 4 pushups on my toes, run for 5minutes straight, be able to do a hover/bridge for 1minute 30. Without goals you are just floating along with no objective and you can never have any success. There is no such thing in…

Not for your abs but Hamstring Curls are the absolute BOMB!!! (but geesh they kill)

Work your absolute *kitten* off. Maybe hire a personal trainer for a couple weeks and get them hammering you.
