i'd go by inches for sure! muscle is denser than fat so if you've been doing a good job of cardio for burning fat, resistance training to build muscle and good nutrition to support muscle growth, then you may not see a difference on the scales but your body will be smaller, tighter and firmer. This is the best outcome, so…

Ho would you have lived without a full length mirror - I gota know how I look from every angle before I can go out! even if I don't think I look great I need to know what's wrong... the only reason I can think of is to apologise to people for it: 'you look great' 'no! have you seen the way my left thigh curves...and my…

Congratulations!!! such a headf**k when people recognise your size but in your head you've not changed. This is the time to compare before and after pics to convince yourself of your success and help you move forward confidently :drinker:

Totally Agreed!!!! What an awesome thread!

I am beautiful because I have a beautiful boyfriend, beautiful friends, beautiful sisters, and beautiful parents. And I deserve it all because I care enough to do everything I can to maintain their beauty. Their beauty reflects in me and gives me the strength confidence and reason to get fit again, maintain my health and…

I don't think so! The yoga is good for increasing balance and flexibility, and then you can move on to some real yoga. The balance games are great for being active generally, playing games with the family rather than watching TV, but they won't increase your fitness with the exception of hula hoop! do advanced 10 minutes…

It depends on your genes! your mammary glands are your mammary glands, your fat is your fat. i have massif mammaries, i can get skinny and have proportionally big boobs 30dd, and I can gain weight and get up to a 34gg. if your boobs are just fat then you will lose them but its a good thing cos fats pretty nasty for your…

love it! no ballsing about!

Good analogy, makes me feel much better, thank you!

Awesome!!!!! and yes what a beautiful day :)

when you are really big you just have to drop weight, once you've dropped the weight you can start the real work of making your body strong. There's no point starting a muscle building eating plan when your goal is to drop 100lbs, get 60lb off then think about what to eat to improve your body. the weight they are carrying…

it will use your internet browsing history to select the adverts!!! :tongue:

where do you live? if it's in europe I'll suggest some DVD titles :smile:

I find I work harder at home. get yourself a selection of cheap DVDs to start, something aerobic, something strength, something flexibility and rotate them every day. when you're feeling more powerful invest your time in a beach-body workout, that'll give you 3 months of exercise and a clear goal. get on it :drinker:

BHS Bikinis at the top and Tesco Finest pork down the right... It uses your browsing history to target the adverts...

hubba hubba :love:

well, doesn't that make you feel better :drinker:

I think MFP overestimates how many carbs you need - have aplay with the settings, initially work out your weight in lbs then change the ratios of protein/carbs / fat until you get this number to match the number of grams of protein per day. stick with that for a week then tweak as you see fit :)

work through a sickness unless you physically cant. your body will thank you. simply minimise the high impact and anaerobic exercise. do something fun and straightforward like zumba :)

I don't know where you are, but the best bras i have ever found in the UK are at Marks and Spencers, mine is a 32G racerback (so no pull on the shoulders when you jump) with a zip front (no hooks!!!) - so comfortable and so strong!

:flowerforyou: I'm so pleased I have joined! this is gonna be great motivation for me, kinda like a weight watchers class, but free, convenient and with a more diverse and interesting group of people. Bring it on! Looking forward to Monday!! Booyah

Yay!!!! Well Done!!!!! :drinker:

I'm in the second month and it's been great, I've lost half a stone and loads of inches around my thighs, waist and arms... You probably would need to buy weights Go Heavy Or Go Home as Charlene says! I just bought a 32kg set cos i knew that in order to fail a muscle after only 6 reps I'd have to push hard. I have all the…

Can I be in please? 178lbs as of today, so I'll use that as Monday weigh in weight... :drinker:

I have very good scales and I weigh pretty much the same on both the wii and the scales :) I only use wii fit on the wii...

Awesome!!!!!!

The pushing of cheap crops as healthy food is a disaster, I want to read more about what people think...

**like**

It's gonna be tough for sure!!! Hopefully being broke will limit the cocktails! :wink:

That does look good thank you, and pretty cheap too, thank you!
