I've pretty much been eating the same lunch everyday (I don't find it boring) which means I have plenty of room left for my evening meal. This was for me it always seems like a treat whilst fitting in with my allowance

I have looked at the spinning bike. I've started going to the gym early morning before work, partly because it fits it a little better with my day and will help me get into a routine but also because I get embarrassed whilst lifting and the gym has been pretty much empty if I get here when it opens. Whilst my body gets…

I'm trying. Started back at the gym properly after being lazy. Trying to cut down whilst minting what muscle I have. So pretty much at the beginning. Hoping I can keep going with it. Still intimidate by the gym though.

Love leg day at the gym. Really dislike cardio at the moment but that's probably because I'm I fit and feel like I'm getting nowhere lol

I enjoy making the recipes from the website and sometimes use the recipe books (have family members that go) but personally I prefer to follow the CICO method. For some people, having to weigh in, in front of people means that they push themselves to do better and eat healthier.

My weight is going down at a nice rate now which I know will help. I definitely agree about the psychological aspect. I've purchased a heart rate monitor (a tip from a friend) so that I can see my rough heart rate as I'm exercising so I know I'm not pushing it and will be fine. It's just breaking through the wall I think.…

Yea i've been taking the preventor and reliever (brown and blue) for a long while now. I had an asthma attack a couple of years ago where the doctor came close to giving me a nebuliser for use at home but decided against it and put me on intense steroid treatment and i had to pop in every other morning for a couple of…

Just doing cardio isn't going to help you to achieve what you've stated you want. you need to start putting more weights training in there to achieve that =)

I would like to be a mentor. My names sally-anne. I have just in the last 6 weeks or so finally got my head around my own diet, knowing what I can and cannot eat, what makes me ill etc. and how to fit it in with my job and very active social life. I'm sure if I had someone to give me a little push here or a little nudge…

Thanks everyone for the replies. Now have a pretty good idea of what I should leave in the kitchen at work as its more convenient for me to do that than take things in and out everyday

Agree with all of the above. As long as the pattern shows you're losing then you're fine.

When exercising first thing I generally just have a cup of strong coffee

All the clothes I own were bought when I was 20lbs heavier. I'm quite happy wearing baggy clothes until I hit my goal weight. However I start a new job on December 1st and actually have to dress properly (well smart casual, have no idea what that means though) so will have to buy a wardrobe for that (I can literally wear…

Adding some interval training into your bike sessions a couple of times a week. There's so much research that has been done into the effects of this. Couple that with your standard cardio exercise and you have a much more effective way of exercising

The exercises used in chest workouts can be classified as 'push' workouts. When doing these the triceps are working in addition with your chest muscles as they are used in the push movements. So it isn't uncommon to get muscle soreness in your triceps also. Chest and Triceps are commonly joined together in the same…

It entirely depends upon what works for you. I have pre-workout formula (from PHD, got it for free) that I sometimes use, but majority of the time I find that a nice strong coffee does the trick, especially if I exercise in the morning. =)

thanks =)

I do fasted LISS first thing in the morning when I wake up and then have some porridge for breakfast before strength training about 90 minutes later

A nice strong cup of coffee if you're feeling sleepy. I work out early so mostly need the hot drink so i can get out of bed into the cold

I prefer doing my LISS first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. anything else (weights, HIIT and sports training/matches) i always make sure i've eaten properly beforehand else i find that i don't have enough energy and struggle to complete my workout. This is just what works for me though. Don't know about anyone…

That's wrong, abs are just like any other muscle. They too need sufficient rest after working them so that they can recover and grow. I work out 6 days a week (sometimes twice a day as i play a lot of football but don't want to sacrifice my weight training) and don't find it a problem. I make sure to stretch and warm down…

Another 1.6 =)

Changing up your HIIT can be good. It will stop you becoming bored by doing the same thing all the time. I prefer to do my HIIT on the rowing machine or spinning bike. In decent weather I may choose to go over the local football field and do it outside on the grass. Hope this helps =)

i chuck spotify on and listen to the playlists on there. they're pretty good

1/1 1.6 miles run (my home village is stupidly hilly, hoping for longer runs when back at uni)

I'm in for 50 miles this month. Not really a runner so this will be interesting.

I would make 2 of the cardio sessions a HIIT session. I'm a university student too and am making steady progress lifting heavy and varying the type of cardio i do

i chuck my chocolate whey into my brownie mixture instead of cocoa powder.

You can't pick where you lose fat from first. Just keep at it and you'll see changes. Consistency is key. good luck =)
