hi im 4'11 and up until 2 years ago didn't think i could ever be fit. no diet worked. then i found weights. i now eat 3 BIG meals a day. tend to be some kinda meat and some kinda green veg. i also have sweet potato or root veg on workout days. I'm now never hungry but more importantly my body changes slightly every week.…

I've lost 45 pounds using a mix of weights and cardio. I'm now doing mainly GVT as hit a plateau. Seems to have toned me up in only 2 weeks. Should help increase my pb's

i do a 5 min warm up, strength training for 30 mins, HIT for 20 mins then 5 mins stretching. tend to train 2 days on 1 day off. has helped me cut down from 175lbs to 130lbs at present. have been down to 124lbs but currently trying to build a little more muscle so eating more :)

I have normal blood pressure and a Resting heart rate of 38... On a recent work medical the nurse asked if I was on beta blockers. Having already known being half way fit causes a low heart rate, I told her my general weekly routine and she was fine. Basically said unless I start to feel tired and lacking energy a lot it's…

Been told otherwise but hey certainly nice to be able to eat what I like :)

You have to fuel. Your workouts to get the most from them. If nothing else, working out when tired or weaker runs a risk of injury x

That's. couldn't have done it without my my fitness pal family :)

I found I got great results upon upping cals from1700per day to 2000-2500 per day(or basically when hungry just make sure u eat good stuff)

I do squats (PBs 60kg), lunges with various weights of barbell, dumbell or VIPRs, and leg press (200kg PBs) - nowhere near where I want to be leg wise but well on the way :)

Do it! A pound of lean muscle burns 50 extra cals a day! I went from 165-135 pounds mainly using compound weight exercises :)

i cycle 40 mins a day to/from work/gym. a way of life now

wow i have found my new motivation to continue! thank you and well done on what u have achieved!!

my journey has taken me over a year so far.... ive lost no weight in 3 months but have toned up and gained a fair bit of muscle :) before - 175 pounds after - 127 pounds

agreed,,, i cant live without my mega fix of veg... some fruit too in a day :)

have boiled eggs in ya fridge ready to go

or go for a 10 min jog and earn a few cals ;)

my trouble areas are upper thighs and bumb, lunges, squats and running have helped no end (gone from a size 18-12) also look at your diet and incorperate plenty of protein like chicken salmon eggs nuts etc. hope this helps

eggs are another good fat x

an iphone 4s :)

hi i had a look. overall your doing well plenty of water and ur getting what mfp says u need in protein but id suggest u take their values with a pinch of salt. exchange some of your carbs for sommin higher in protein - eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogart, lean meats like chicken and finally salmon is god. hope this helps xx

agree with this strongly. legs are biggest muscle group so working on them makes sure ur body is a fat burning furness :)

my diary is open. im eating high protein diet due to weight training but feel free to have a look and see if anything is of any use x

just had a quick look in your food diary. look at upping protein intake too with the weight training and make sure ur drinking plenty of water. this will help your muscles heal after each workout x

i have a range of things from greek yogart, oats so simple with skimmed milk, belvita brekky biscuits, eggs in all forms ie scrambled poached boiled or omelet and smoothies x

if u have an iphone look up jefit, i use it all the time has routine section and shows what exercises work which muscles.. very helpful to me when i was new to it all x

shop when shops are about to close n get cheap fruit/veg/meat thats going out of date? i did an experiment this month and lived on £30! yes it was hard but can be done

depends what exercises ur planing on...if its using barbells use no weight to start just so u can find the right form and add weights from there little by little until u find a challenging weight. add on weigh every week or so to keep ya body bettering itself. same really for exercises using dumbells. start light, find the…

daily logger here :)

i do a workout 5 days a week. 3 of those days are hitting different body parts strength training, one is a PT session and one is spin class, i typically take one day of in the week and end up with sunday off also as i force myself to rest. i think it helps ya body recover so in that respect is important for effective…

i can understand ur have little spare time to prepare meals but maybe try n cook in bulk when u do get a spare hour. plenty of chicken, salmon n veg. dont stop the carbs but try to choose better ones like wholemeal bread, rice etc... also the fizzy pop causes water retention and once uve kicked the habbit u can expect to…
