I have had sciatica sometimes at different points often after exercising but i dont seem to have had it for a while but i still get the tingling down my leg if i stretch my hamstring. Thankyou for that advice i will look into an orthopedist :)

also i am not even sure if that heart rate reading was correct because i just looked up heart rates for at rest and it said someone at 150lbs for an hour burns 68 calories...im 110lbs. So that reading is daft for a start :(

I havent even lost that much weight and ive been working out a month or two now why all of a sudden? Im really concerned.

Also 5x5 means 5 reps 5 sets? Or am I wrong.

I used this site to get the calories http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and used Mifflin st jeor formula. So for lifting heavy how heavy do I lift to begin with? Ive found an all pro workout that is simple and I want to use that but I was going to incorporate some extra ones that target the glutes as that's my main problem…

Thankyou...and how long did each of your weight lifting sessions take? I have been looking at all pro actually I am just not sure how many calories to take in as atm I cant obviously lift very heavy. I worked out my TDEE it said 1548 calories for exercising 3 times a week and 20% off that is 1239 so lifting heavy and…

Thanks. How much did you deficit and how heavy did you lift and could you explain to me how often etc. Basically everything that helped you achieve that. Did the fat loss happen slowly though? Thanks

I worked out on some calculators i needed to go below 1200 to lose fat whilst working out! and i have read that could be bad for a woman. Im sure i eat more than that everyday though. It doesn't help living with parents when they are planning the meals everyday.

I forgot to add i do drink diet coke i had to stop myself drinking normal coke cause im pretty sure that is what led to me gaining this belly fat. It was my sort of comfort food. I suffer with depression and I consumed a heck of a lot on a daily basis so i forced myself to having diet coke. I haven't gained weight from…

My diet usually goes... Breakfast - wheatabix with milk and odd occasion i have fruit and fibre. Snack - About two hours after breakfast i will usually have a tiny snack on a banana or maybe some yoghurt. Lunch - Usually whole meal bread to make a sandwich with ham or bacon. With cucumber, tomato sometimes red onion. Some…

I hear you! Well not sure if I said resistance but i don't really have any muscle at all in my whole body. Ive definitely gained some from doing the 30 day shred and i guess that's what you would call resistance its light weights and higher reps. But i see what you are saying. I know nothing of weight training so im just…

Im maybe considering doing 30 day shred maybe 3 times in the week and then add some weight training in maybe two days? Maybe that way I can get a good combination of muscle and fat loss? I know I cant make my fat come off from my belly but I would like to try anything possible to help myself achieve that. Thanks for the…

But is it possible to burn fat on a calorie deficit but build muscle? With heavier weights and lower reps? Thanks for the reply!

Thankyou for your positive words :) Im glad it worked for you! When you say lifting heavy for me. How heavy do we mean? How many reps would I need to be doing to build some muscle? Also how did you work out how many calories to eat a day? At the moment im eating at a deficit. Would I need to eat to maintain or up my…

I know I cant choose where I lose fat but I just wanted to know if building muscle instead of doing cardio all the time will actually still burn some fat off and hopefully burn It off my belly last. (In reply to SailorKnightW)
