Hi, Well done, you have done absolutely amazing!! I have never heard of OMAD, until your post, how exactly does it work please? Can you give me an example of your meals ? And lastly, how much carbs was your low carb days.... I’m interested to give this a try... thank you for sharing xx

Hi, I totally understand your post!! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, ME, chronic migraines which are hormone related....as well as having cervical spondylosis, arthritis everywhere and a few other issues...so I totally get your post!! I am still learning how to manage all mine, but in the 2 years I have been diagnosed…

Thank you everyone for your replies and input.... I will take on board all your comments. Thanks again

[="aggelikik;35029960"] What makes you think you would use any other machine? Honest question, not everyone likes machines.[/quote] Before I became ill I used to love the gym and worked out daily .... But I can't remember which machine gave best burn so thought I'd ask if anyone recommended a particular machine. A…

Thanks guys.... Hmmm yes I do have a knee injury too but rowing has never hurt it before so should be ok. I did state above in OP that treadmill can now only be used for walking. The reason I ruled it out is that it's been sat there all this time and ive not used it so prob isn't my number 1 choice . Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone.... Walking round neighbour hood is not an option due to disability.... I'll get so far then not have strength to get home so it has to be a stationary machine for home use. I have treadmill that I used to use for running before I got ill but haven't used it for months so guess I'll rule that out.... I'm…

I currently follow Weight Watchers so want to add a little exercise to help. Thank you

WOW!!! That is an amazing transformation in such a short space of time, well done you!! A very inspiring post for some one like me who would love to follow something like this to get them amazing results!! I look forward to seeing your progress over the next few months! Thanks for sharing xx

Amazing transformation, well done you and thanks for sharing!! x

Well done!! I have just had my blood taken to find out what my levels are as its not been done in over 10 years, Im hoping for good news but I just have no idea what to expect lol

Thank you, you have been so helpful!! I have been reading all the links, several times lol I think its making sense now. Im not too concerned on time frame to lose it, but I dont want it to take forever. 10lb a month would be great, but il be disappointed if I put in so much effort if its anything less than 7lb a month.…

Thank you. I have looked into this and found it useful. Depending what site you use to get the calculations depends on the answers as there is a variation so Im going with that my BMI is 1519, my TDEE is 2584 based on my intention to work out 3-5 days a week for an hour making my activity level as moderate. So am I right…

wow!! That is an amazing transformation in such a short space of time!!! You look so much younger than the first pic!!! and very handsome too ;) Good for you, I bet you feel amazing!!

This to me actually made alot of sense!! It may not be for every one but I get where youre coming from on it. The cardio could be a bit OTT for some especially HIIT as that in itself can be hard for some. But 'proof is in the pudding' as my mum says and it clearly worked for you!! Well done :) and thanks for sharing :)

Ah!! lol thanks, ok that sounds good to me, cardio isnt my best friend but i do it if i need to. ok thanks Matt, il start with out the cardio and see what happens :)

1600 could be too much? With exercising 5-6 days a week, a physical job (i work 20 hrs a week peak times at ikea so very busy!! and im a single mum to a 16 yr old and 3 1/2 yr old) so o was told to increase my calories as i havent been losing on 1300-1400 cals :( All this is so confusing :( And im 33 :) almost 34 in summer.

I cant believe its been only 4 months!! You was one of the first people on here to offer me advice and Iv followed Yo right from the start, amazing transformation!! Its also lovely to now see your personalities coming through too :) Im very excited for you both and love watching your progress!! What is the purpose of the…

ha ha ah thanks, see, told you im rubbish with all this lol thank you

ok so iv got it copied, entered my own details.......but how do i save them? im not sure what to do next to make it my own lol Any help greatly appreciated :) Thank you

Ah ok, thank you, that will be it then lol I shall give that a go. thanks hunnie

Im struggling with the spreadsheet lol cant figure out how to edit it :/ Make a copy isnt highlighted for me to choose and iv tried opening it in excel spreadsheet viewer but again, wont let me edit. im not very good with these types of things sadly :(

Thank you so much for taking the time for such an informative reply, i really appreciate it!! I will have a proper look at the spread sheet now as it will probably make more sense to me now :) I cant wait to get started now!! :)

Hi, What is that spreadsheet please? I did look at the link posted a few days ago but i didnt understand what it was, am i being thick lol? Your doing great by the way, very inspirational!! In fact its you and your progress that finally pursauded me to go for SL :) Bought my utility bench and squat stands today, cant wait…

WOW!! Thats an amazing difference in 55days, well done you!! :)

Hi, i too am from Essex :) Just by Lakeside, where you from in Essex?? Sarah

Im from Essex :) Feel free to add me :)

Iv done alot of research into this, both here, online and people i know who have knowledge. Every one has said the same thing to me.....to lift at a calorie deficit and add a couple of cardio sessions in. This will enable me to lose body fat whilst retaining as much lean body mass as possible. I start strong lifts in April…

Strong lifts 5x5 is a good programme. Iv not started it yet as im just completing p90x but il be starting in April. There is lots of info on here and online about it, maybe look it up and see what you think. Its a good methodical programme, not complicated and do-able. What ever you choose, good luck and enjoy :)

Hi Lee, WOW!! Well done you on both accounts!! Losing weight is hard and giving up the smokes is also hard, Iv poersonal experience of both. Its been 10 years with the smokes for me :) but im still trying to lose some weight, which im slowly winning :) Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing your progress!! x

Good luck with starting SL tmrw. I am starting after i finish p90x at end of month, I cant wait, but like yourself, I too am a little scared of the first few sessions!! My BF is quite high, somewhere between 35-38% according to the tickets i get from gym machine so not sure how accurate that is. Id love to get it checked…
