It's a bit more complicated than that. I'm an insulin dependant diabetic and I maintained by eating sugary things then missing insulin injections so my body went into dka and burnt fat. Not recommended and I'm getting help for it. I'm now eating clean and want to know based on the facts I've given whether it sounds like…

I wasn't tracking at that point and I wasn't eating healthily either. I just maintained a steady weight whilst lifting. I wasn't doing cardio then either

No HYE had a lucid dream (out of body, can see yourself sleeping)

Breathe in, lift, lower and exhale at the bottom. A body full of air with a belly extended helps support your lower back. I breathe in push down in my abdomen to brace.

Yes. 1. Strength training burns calories (at a slower rate than cardio) 2. Your muscles continue to burn calories AFTER the training as they repair and use energy. Cardio doesnt do this. 3. The higher your lean muscle mass, the more calories your body will use in a rested state. So some giant muscle dude with 200lbs of…

It's the same for all of us at first. I avoided it because of the exact same thing. If you're a member of a gym ask for an induction on the weights section. You need to follow a programme when doing weights, there are loads of good ones out there that pretty much tell you exactly what to do on each day (including body…

What is it about lifting weights that you hate? And yes , it could be considered a body weight strength workout. Strength training isn't just about building muscles though, it's about strengthening targeted areas of your body (weak knee? Bad hip? Could never balance on one foot? All could be improved).

I could use a bunch of active talking friends on here. My interests are strength training , reading, family, psychology , relaxing!

I've been saving money for a big shopping trip. New wardrobe here I come! My goal is more body composition so I reckon I'm 6 months away from the trip.

I like to get an oat based cookie and nom it all at once, turn it around on my tongue until it's just a giant ball of dough. I can literally take 10 minutes eating one cookie like that until it disintegrates and it's amazing. Gotta have some self restraint to not swallow (thats what she said)

Thanks for that info! The goal is health but on TDEE calculators it says 105-120. It's good to know as we wouldn't want to upset her natural balance. Thanks

Awesome change! Thats exactly what we wanted to see. Thanks for sharing :)

Great idea, thanks! I like the idea of homemade so im going to give it a go.

@dsboohead I've walked past a ton of people that haven't recognised me. I've talked to some that haven't too! I love that part of it. I was confident when big so that didn't change much but I can't pass a mirror without looking and I love clothes a lot more. Basically I'm very vein now

@Ralphone it's a kenwood im200. Fairly cheap to purchase but I wanted a smaller one as I don't have much space on my kitchen work surfaces. For protein frozen yoghurt I just used a whole tub of Greek yoghurt, 2 scoops of chocolate casein and two scoops of peanut butter. It's lasted me 4 nights as it makes about 1l!

I'm T1D and trying to get healthy. 1. Learn to control your BG really well. 2. Ammend your diet and lower your carb intake. Increase your fat intake to offset. Calculate your TDEE (google it) and work on a 200-500 calorie deficit. 3. Walk more. I recommend doing a daily steps challenge. 4. Start doing some strength…

@veganbaum This is loaded with great advice. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Thanks all, glad to know i'm not the only one. @beerfoamy you sound just like me! My worst times are 10-11 and around 2pm. I was thinking of splitting lunch into two - same quantity and things i would usually have but have lunch1 at 10am and lunch2 at 2pm. Then dinner at 6 means there is only ever 4 hours between! I just…

Hey, thought i'd join as im also a late night snack man. It can turn into a binge if im not careful! I just bought an icecream machine so I can make my own protein icecream/frozen yoghurt. So far its a success, I save up some calories knowing that i'm likely to snack, i hold off for as long as i can and then i have some of…

I found a phone background that really inspires me so I'm posting that up :)

Lying down on the sofa for a nap. Did an early gym session and prepped some food so now it's rest!!

You know what you're doing, you're just nervous. Best advice is to just never let your guard down. You'll be fine You look a million dollars btw. Really strong and defined. Congrats on reaching maintenance!

Good jawline. 10

Did an early morning gym session and feel great today. 15 mins run, 10 mins row then weightlifting. Now working :(

I keep macros the same as im used to the food i prepare and like to eat. I just go TDEE -500 for cut, +500 for bulk. When gaining strength I focus on increasing weight, when cutting I plan on maintaining the weight lifted (or slight loss of strength) and maintenance would be maintain strength and level of cardio. Keeping…

Thanks all. My BG is stable for the first time in years! so thats win #1. Lifting weights really helps keep it level and I havent needed much insulin. Still working on the strength, i've started a stronglifts based programme doing overhead press, rows, squats, bench press and deadlift. I'm really enjoying it! Totally…
