I like to do a circuit of muscleups, front levers, back levers, l-sits and single leg squats. By the time you are done you are completely blasted :/

You need to change your mindset. If your only motivation to lose weight is to gain respect and admiration of others you are doomed to fail. Focus on how you are getting stronger and healthier. Those are the 'perks' of weight loss. Sorry to be blunt but you need to do this for yourself and not for others.

Why so few calories?

I also think that Harry should have died. The epilogue made me throw up a little too

In the same way that it takes years of overeating in becoming overweight it will probably take years to safely get back to a healthy weight.

5-6 days a week for 45min +

Given your current weight and the fact you are doing high intensity exercise I had a quick look over your food diary. One helpful tip would be that you need to eat to have energy to do high intensity workouts. some days you barely manage 1200 calories and on other days only reported eating lunch. All pretty good ways to…

It will almost be impossible to lose only fat and not lean muscle as well. Use your highest BMI healthy weight as a ball park figure. When you are within 15-20lbs of it then worry about %bf only. At the moment you can still focus on weight loss and as you get closer and closer then disregard numbers in terms of lbs and…

This is a good method. I personally figure out what is the highest acceptable healthy weight for my height. Given I'm 5' 8" a BMI of 25 would be around 72kg (159lbs). Then as you get 2-3kg within that range focus more on BF%. If you are female you prob want to be a little lighter so for someone 5' 8" probably a BMI of 22.5…

I have a few: First is "I want to look like that guy" which is a recent documentary on what is required to be like a cover model. Revealing stuff. I would have to say "Stick It" - movies on gymnastics are always much more impressive than dance movies to me. Dragonball Z - Whilst an anime it is definitely positive for…

Not being hungry is a pretty good sign of a metabolism not working very well. If your metabolism is running properly you should be starving and easily eating at 1200+ calories. Once you start forcing yourself to eat more your body will go out of starvation mode and you will feel hungry again and continue burning fat…

Two of the best lower abdominal exercises are the hanging knee raise and L sit pullups L-sit pullups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNYvGb7wcCg&feature=related Hanging Knee Raise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACTKTdvWsB4

It is very possible for larger people to lose more weight and more quickly than someone who is already lean. There is no doubt about this fact. However, just putting this out there that any high calorie deficit diet will damage your metabolism regardless of whether you are lean with 10-15lbs to lose or 200+lbs. This is one…

It hurts like hell that's for sure. I normally superset it with either step-ups or bench jumps too :/ Maybe one day I will be lord of the still rings. That video makes me feel so weak in comparison

Levers!!! So damn evil That and bulgarian split squats :/

Awesome work! Keep it up and soon you will be far more powerful and fit than everyone on your friends list!

I have researched it throughout my university studies and there is no actual scientific literature in peer reviewed journals to support it. So I would be pretty confident in saying no...

I'd recommend weekly as the most frequent to weigh yourself. I'm already at my goal range so I just weigh myself monthly to make sure I'm not allowing weight to creep back on

Based on your height around 127lbs is the lowest weight of the healthy range. Otherwise you fall into underweight which is not something you should be aiming for... You will probably get to this weight incredibly slowly as you are already within a healthy weight for your height. If you undereat you probably will not reach…

The research does in fact agree with this :) Fat burning zone is well and truly a myth of the past

My guilty pleasure every 2 or 3 months is a nice cold low carb beer :P

I only express concern because my background is in sport and nutrition Psychology and basically the scientific literature reports that for females somewhere between 10-13% body fat is the essential fat levels for females. Basically when you start going into or below this level it will start affecting your hormonal…

I personally like using a sports gel like shotz when I run. I take one every 30 minutes with some water during half marathon and longer distances. My biggest tip nutrition wise would be eat some carbohydrate based breakfast at latest 1-1.5 hours before the even like banana and museli so your body has time to digest it,…

So long as your daily calories are within your goal intake it doesn't matter when you eat them in terms of general fitness and weight loss. Also you should always eat after exercise so if you trian late then have something late.

I agree that you definitely need to give the body a rest. Without time to repair you are at an increased risk of injury and your fat burners are already in overdrive if you have been exercising consistently such that an extra day isn't going to help much more. You need to recover mentally and physically. Also the whole…

Wow...13% bf is considered pretty much on the border of the lowest safe level/dangerous level for females... You should easily have super visible 6 pack muscles by now. Most females have them show around 17% if they have enough lean muscle

Muscle Up: Go to a park and grab a bar until you are at a dead hang. Pull your head above the bar and continue pulling yourself upwards until you can tilt your chest forward above the bar. Now push yourself to the top of a dip so you are now arms extended above the bar. Lower and repeat. Works your entire upper body in one…

Definitely! I train for triathlons, currently the ironman and on days I train it isn't uncommon for me to eat 3000+ calories. Definitely aim for closer to 2000 even if you are trying to lose weight. Endurance training makes you more efficient at burning fat anyway so you will likely maintain body weight but lose body fat…

How about telling him to man up and either eat up or shut up? He is old enough now to cook for himself if he doesn't like what you make.

or in aussie terms 1m 70cm and 75kg
