OMW, how inspirational, I have just spent the last 20 mins being quite flabergasted. You are all amazing and seriously the pride and strength shines through in your after pics. I hate my fat face, more than my fat *ss to be fair so I am hoping that as I have lost 25lbs and substantially lost in the said fat *ss area, the…

This is a serious toughie, I do three sets of 12 in a superset with clams and roll ins and they diffinatley hit the spot.

Hi As an unscientific newbie with a great thirst for knowledge lol, please can you explain the difference between your low carb diet and the ketogenic. I am working on incorporating hflc into my lifestyle but keep hearing ketogenic as another option?!? Also as a side what is HDL? Cheers in advance

Please xplain this to me as a relative newbie, thanks in advance

Hi hun, DON'T STOP. I find the scales incredibly frustrating as I too work out 4-5 per week with a combination of cardio and strength training. My PT tells me the best indicator is body fat percentage monitors as they can indicate the % of body fat you are carrying and then log the changes as you stick to the program.…

Hello David and welcome to the forum Isn't it funny how we define ourselves by our weight. We could introduce ourselves as 'Hi my name is Cheryl and I am a wife, mother, sisiter, daughter, nurse, singer, comedian, cook', etc but we don't, instead we limit ourselves to 'Hi, my name is Cheryl and I am FAT!' Maybe that is the…

Phrick What an absolutley fabulous idea, I will definatley do this. I had tried to think of what I could purchase that would not be wasted/thrown away after the fact but it came down to cost the end. Had I thought about it, I could have purchased 50 tins of something, each representing the pound of weight to lose. Thank…

Hi all i was very interested to read the above 3 posts on 1200 not being ideal for everyone. My instincts were telling me it was too low for me long term but I am unsure how to adjust what MFP has set for me. I am age 41, 5'6" and at 210 I am aiming for a weight loss of 50lbs, then tinker as I see how I feel and body looks…

Hi I use oats in my morning smoothie too but I blitz them into a fine powder first with a handful of mixed seeds using the milling attachment on my nutriblend. I then add half a cup of frozen mixed berries, a banana, half cup of soy yogurt and soy milk or water to loosen. I have just started experimenting by adding a…

Hi I wondered if you explain this again for me, I am a complete novice and am struggling to understand the maximum heart rate thing. I am interested in burning fat primarily and improving fitness. I often work higher than 60% of my maximum heart rate on the treadmill as I like to feel like I am having a really good work…
