yes it is! but we are in it to win it ... keep up the good work.. we can do it

hello, welcome back to the weight loss journey... my name is arwa and my story is similiar, my starting weight was 89 kg and i got down to 73 kgs in march 2012, then i gained back a few and gone up to 75-79 kg depending on the day. i stopped focusing on my weight and focus on losing body fat.. i lost 1.7 kg of fat!!! so…

so i wanna do it tooo. but i do not have dumbells and is level one consisits of repeating the same work out for 10 days? or is it different everyday?

i used to eat 1200 and less and whenever i would lose weight, it goes back up when i eat more.. so i assumed whatever i lost wasnt real weight or fat.. now i upped my calorie intake to 1500-1700 and i lost a kg and even if i eat more. my weight is the same. so i believe that 1 kg was a kg of FAT. i will check my muscle…

i personally started eating between 1500-1700 kcals. i think i should be eating 1700+ but im still hesitant too... I don't go to gym very often. i try to go 3--5 times a week and burn between 200-350 kcals.

dont wash your hair everyday with shampoo! u could just wash it or use conditionar only.. over washing it is bad

i should do that hmm! good idea

exactly

day one of period today and i rather not work out!

i have a polar HRM and i am obssessed with it XD money well spent

thats the healthy weekly loss! so good job... remmeber u want to lose weight and keep ito offf. so slow and steady is good!

welcome :D feel free to add me!! i am ALWAYS ONLINE!!!

omg thats SO amazing!!! so strength training is what i should be focusing on!! but i heard that u build a layer of muscle on top of the fat, which makes u look EVEN bigger. has anyone heard that? but amazing loss!! huge change

i should try that lol

give it a try.. test ur theory.. i am currently trying out eat more - lose fat. good luck lol

to be honest, i believe my HRM.

oh wow! since its my first day, i will go slowly and lets c how much i lift...

NOTED.... i will listen to my body and start slowly till i can do it like a boss.. many thanks

I was thinking the same. i will mix between both and i have already saved work out to do with free weights.. thanks!

i think they have the steel stick and u add weights. ill be going to the gym in a couple of hours for my strength training session. i would be following 5x5 strength lifting ill do squats 5 rep x 5 sets Bench Press 5 rep x 5 sets Barbell Row 5 rep x 5 sets weights = 20 KG, is that fine? and should i do total 20 or each…

to me I find the machines easier meaning i feel like i would do the work out properly cause i follow the instructions. plus i dont think we have a barbell at our gym :S but i did read about the 5 types of work out with free weights. ill look into them again..

what i am confused is which machines to use... everything i read online is the ones u use free weights and create work outs. is using the machines as effective as creating work outs?

i use my HRM watch for work outs and i believe there very accurate,, and thats what i use to post here. HRM monitor is used for work outs mostly and not to determine anything else. as i was told.. but i think u should believe ur HRM

okay i get it.. i dont want to be too muscley and not boney.. ill do 70% cardio and 30% strength. bascially, all i do is use the weight machines and do small sets till i feel the shaky feeling when lifting lol. thank u all x

u did all that without working out!!! HOW?? good job xxxxxx

amazing!! good job x

oooh i thought u have to buy the DVDS, if its on youtube,, i will also do it when i dont go to the gym!!

bump
