at 125lb your BMI is inside the Normal range... Just. at 120 you were underweight so i REALLY don't recommend trying to loose. First off work out what your TDEE is (search the forums for the links). You need to be eating at that or more (more if you want to gain muscle) Hint: unless you are bedridden 1400 to 1500 calories…

Oh dear.... this is going to be noisy.

Is my quality of life better than it was yesterday, last week, last month, last year, before i started? Yes Then i am healthier. I don't get sick easily, out of breath, cramps or unexplained pain. I am healthy I can run when i need to, carry my little girl when she is tired, pick up what i need to pick up without any…

Turn it around do 10 to 20 minutes of cardio followed by 40 to 60 minutes of FREE WEIGHT lifting. Squats deadlifts bench Overhead (look up stronglifts or starting strength) Also if you are already set on a deficit eat your exercise calories back! you are starving yourself otherwise and your body gets defensive when that…

IF you are at that point my absolute BEST advice (from experience) is to take a walk... Seriously 2 years ago i was 18stone (252lb) and hadn't done a seconds exercise in a decade. I started walking to and from work (4.5 mile round trip) 2 to 3 times a week. Bloody exhausted me! but it got easier. i started walking every…

From experience... Cardio lie on your back and bench press her for Strength training :laugh:

Your weight will wobbled all over the place day to day because of any number of factors (water retention, food in your gut to name just 2) I have seen my weight jump 4 to 5 pounds over 2 days before. This is normal As long as the general trend over time is down you have ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about 25lb in a couple of…

If you don't enjoy it don't do it. There are plenty of other ways to get your cardio jollies. Why punish yourself?
-
Just moved on to 5/3/1 myself but i have done 4 and a half months of Strong lifts. Other than a Weekend run and walking (everywhere) i don't do any other exercise.

The good news is that there is no right answer. Do what you suits you best. Try it one way, If it doesn't work try the other. Nice and simple
-
Full rest for at least 2 weeks probably more. But back in the gym i couldn't say A word of warning from someone who had one. DO NOT push your luck. I ended up having the same operation twice as the first attempt blew back through in about 2 months i wasn't working out at the gym at the time, in fact i was pretty lazy. That…

I know your fear. I suffered pretty bad moobage that is still going down. (NEARLY GONE!) You don't have to believe me but it will come off... just keep applying yourself to your exercise keep it consistent and keep it challenging and all the fat will eventually melt away and your shape will change. The arm fat and love…

I KNEW IT!!! The first thing i always look at with "Miraculous" before and afters is posture. Still i feel better. Good find
-
Ok. Without being too specific you would do well to create 2 routines one which is say arms, chest and Abs focused the other Back and leg focused. In your 3 day window do the first then the second then the first again over the three days then the following week do the second then the first then the second and repeat. Try…
-
I will have a go... All the Stuff you have read is Broscience. Yeah supplements and thrice daily gym trips and 5000 calories a day will do something for you if you have the capacity to do it but you like me and all the other people on here have normal daily lives so ignore the vast majority of it. In your situation i would…

Look at stronglifts or one of the compound lift for beginners. If you are eating a deficit you are not going to "Hulk" trust me but a heavy lift routine that you stick to will shed fat like you have no idea. I speak from experience. I went from 18 stone to 14 stone on Cardio and diet. switched out to mostly weights about 4…

Train your legs
-
That is a little bit Broscience... You need to consume protein as part of your daily food intake and after working out is an optimal time as the body can use it best but a 30 minute window is not critical for anyone bar elite athletes. even then for them it is only going to give you marginal gains. As for what to consume.…

You cant spot reduced but i feel your pain. The bit that pi55es me off is the bit right under my armpit. its shifting slowly but dammit I wish i could speed it up! The best advice i can give is to bench press hard and heavy so that once the Moobage has receded good manly pecs remain!
-
Don't let the trainer rip you off. Is 72 sessions his estimate? Stronglifts is beginner. As long as you are in deficit it is going to shed fat off like you wont believe (i speak from experience btw) Ditto on the electric impedance. bottom line is are your clothes too big now? that and you have lost 23lb would indicate that…
-
If you did leg day properly, I find a nice gentle crawl on the floor crying in pain is about the only cardio i can manage. (only joking) Walking is probably my best suggestion. I train in the mornings (heavy compound lifts) 3 days a week and I walk to the gym, then walk on to work and then more often than not I walk home.…

How are you measuring BF? All but the High end Medical methods are notoriously unreliable. If you are getting more definition in your arms then you are loosing fat not muscle. Vitamin B tablets are not really Hardcore supplementing, i expect you will be ok :smile: Why is the Scale going down still. Because you are loosing…
-
Start now. Now now now now now Lifting on a deficit is not going to reduce your fat loss It is going to accelerate it. simple as that. The best bit is it will be FAT loss not Weight loss. The muscle you have will be preserved assuming you are eating healthily. No photos to hand but i will try and add later

Do you Mean Charles Manson? edit Ignore me I had Charles Bronson the Actor i my head! :explode:
-
Try it but take it easy. I lifted on Monday without eating first but i had had a large meal late the night before. it was OK but definitely not my preferred choice. Just take care and if you don't feel right, stop
-
Its ambitious but not unachievable. If you just push a little harder a little further every week and you don't injure yourself at any point then yeah why not. I started running in March 2012 (never EVER ran before that) and did my first Half distance in May this year (note i did have to take about a month off after i…

can i cut through all the helpful hints on here please. 1. you have lost 72lb already through diet. FANTASTIC KEEP GOING 2. "tone" is the illusion of less fat on muscle. 3. Any kind of resistance work is going to maintain the muscle you have while you continue with point 1 4. Do something you enjoy resistance bands,…

I have always slept ok but i do get really fidgety an overly bouncy if i don't train for a couple of days. Without getting all new age hippy have you tried doing a little exercise in the evening. 20 minutes of yoga or a short walk just to relax yourself. It might help?

Try Fitness blender for strength and cardio. Loads of different videos all levels. Yogatic or Ekhart yoga for Yoga. Again loads of vids from basic starter to the crazy upside down stuff Blogiates for Pilates.
